how to draw ellipses

[android_gl]

I am using software to create tile map. on map there are different objects ex circle, rectangle, ellipse, polygon etc...
I have problem creating ellipse shape. other than that every thing works fine.

** //loop though map objects and store in 'shape variable'.
//so if its circle than store in 'shpae variable'.
//if its ellipse than store in 'shape varibale'. and so on
note: ellipse doesnt work right.
**

        private void createTileLayer(String layerName) {
                MapLayer layer = tileMap.getLayers().get(layerName);
                for (MapObject mo : layer.getObjects()) {
                    Shape shape = null;
                    shape = createShapes(mo, shape);
                ...
                }
                ....
        }

** this method is just fill with if statments. and run different methods below.
note: ellipse doesnt work right.
**

private Shape createShapes(MapObject mo, Shape shape) {
        if (mo instanceof RectangleMapObject) {
            shape = getRectangle((RectangleMapObject) mo);
        } else if (mo instanceof PolygonMapObject) {
            shape = getPolygon((PolygonMapObject) mo);
        } else if (mo instanceof PolylineMapObject) {
            shape = getPolyline((PolylineMapObject) mo);
        } else if (mo instanceof CircleMapObject) {
            shape = getCircle((CircleMapObject) mo);
        } else if (mo instanceof EllipseMapObject) {
            shape = getEllipse((EllipseMapObject) mo);
        }
        return shape;
    }

** these method below create shapes.
note: ellipse doesnt work right.
**

private static PolygonShape getRectangle(RectangleMapObject rectangleObject) {
    Rectangle rectangle = rectangleObject.getRectangle();
    PolygonShape polygon = new PolygonShape();
    Vector2 size = new Vector2(
            (rectangle.x + rectangle.width * 0.5f) / PPM,
            (rectangle.y + rectangle.height * 0.5f) / PPM);
    polygon.setAsBox(rectangle.width * 0.5f / PPM, rectangle.height * 0.5f
            / PPM, size, 0.0f);
    return polygon;
}

private static CircleShape getCircle(CircleMapObject circleObject) {
    Circle circle = circleObject.getCircle();
    CircleShape circleShape = new CircleShape();
    circleShape.setRadius(circle.radius / PPM);
    circleShape.setPosition(new Vector2(circle.x / PPM, circle.y / PPM));
    return circleShape;
}

private static EllipseShape getEllipse(EllipseMapObject circleObject) {
    Ellipse ellipse = circleObject.getEllipse();
    EllipseShape ellipseShape = new CircleShape();
    ellipseShape.setRadius(ellipse.radius / PPM);
    ellipseShape.setPosition(new Vector2(ellipse.x / PPM, ellipse.y / PPM));
    return ellipseShape;
}

define "doesnt work right". is there an error. is the output not what you expect? what do you expect, and what do you get?

[android_gl]

output and errors:
error1: EllipseShape cannot be resolved to a type
error2: radius cannot be resolved or is not a field
alot i dont thing i am using ellipse logic right

///////////////////////////////////////

i was thing this:

private static EllipseShape getEllipse(EllipseMapObject circleObject) {
    Ellipse ellipse = circleObject.getEllipse();
    EllipseShape ellipseShape = new EllipseShape();
    ellipseShape.setPosition(new Vector2(ellipse.x+ellipse.width/ PPM, ellipse.y+ellipse.height / PPM));
    return ellipseShape;
}

than i get 1 error:
error1: EllipseShape cannot be resolved to a type

SllipseShape seems to be either not existing, or not in scope and/or imported.
my guess for radius: you didn't declare it, or outside the scope where you use it.

[android_gl]

ok here is the problem i think:

else if (mo instanceof EllipseMapObject) {
            shape = getEllipse((EllipseMapObject) mo);
        }

in this method i am trying to create ellipse and store in variables called shape.

problem is that there is no 'EllipseShape' in libgdx. but I dont know how can i use 'EllipseMapObject' to store Ellipse in 'Shape' variable.

private static EllipseShape getEllipse(EllipseMapObject circleObject) {
        Ellipse ellipse = circleObject.getEllipse();
        EllipseShape ellipseShape = new EllipseShape();
        ellipseShape.setPosition(new Vector2(ellipse.x+ellipse.width/ PPM, ellipse.y+ellipse.height / PPM));
        return ellipseShape;
    }

there is CircleShape, chanShape, PolygenShape but no EllipseShape. i dont understant how can I store 'Ellipse' in 'Shape variable' if there is no EllipseShape.

p.s new to libgdx

[stultuske]

you can't. either you create an EllipseMapObject, or you'll have to find a way to create an 'Ellipse' using the existing types.
for instance: a circle that you 'stretch out'

[android_gl]

o ok. i think this should work.

private static CircleShape getEllipse(EllipseMapObject ellipseObject) {
    Ellipse ellipse = ellipseObject.getEllipse();
    CircleShape circleShape = new CircleShape();
    ellipseShape.setPosition(new Vector2(ellipse.x / PPM, ellipse.y / PPM));
    return ellipseShape;
}
