ellipse with angle canvas draw

[zak]

drawing the ellipse with an angle is always a problem, i found in the PowerBasic forum a thread very usefull for this purpose:
http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pbforums/showthread.php?t=40315
here i port the program by Paul Dixon in that thread to thinbasic:
with a little variations

Thanks for the example code, saved for future reference... I am sure it will come in handy.
