Example section 5.3 ff: circles, ellipse and more (page 50-53)

[christianssen]

my first attempt

page 50-53, section 5.3 ff.
nearly exactly code conversion from stans PyOpenGL book.
modified only a little the view point because there were no exactly definitions for this.

makes fun! -> by the way: what's the math. name for the spiral thing ?
