Hi Nathan,

if I add g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality to the sample
I posted a couple of days ago, I get nice ellipses with drawellipse and
fillellipse for all radii from 4 to 14 (haven't tested any further)

Here's the example again because it wasn't origanly posted in this thread

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       Dim myBmp As New Bitmap(450, 450)
       Dim g As Graphics
       g = Graphics.FromImage(myBmp)
       g.Clear(Color.Black)
       g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
       Dim posX As Integer = 10
       Dim myWidth, myHeight As Integer
       myWidth = 4
       myHeight = 4
       For i As Integer = 0 To 21
           If i <= 10 Then
               drawCircles(g, 0, posX, myWidth, myHeight)
           Else
               drawCircles(g, 1, posX, myWidth, myHeight)
           End If
           posX += 20
           myWidth += 1
           myHeight += 1
           If i = 10 Then
               myWidth = 4
               myHeight = 4
           End If
       Next
       g.Dispose()
       PictureBox1.Image = myBmp
       myBmp.Save("c:\testEllipse.bmp", Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
 MsgBox("c:\testEllipse.bmp Saved", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Saved")

End Sub

Private Sub drawCircles(ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal drawType As Integer,
ByVal x As Integer, ByVal width As Integer, _ ByVal _ height As Integer)
       Dim intY As Integer = 5
       For i As Integer = 0 To 20
           Select Case drawType
               Case 0
                   g.FillEllipse(Brushes.LawnGreen, x, intY, width, height)
               Case 1
                   g.DrawEllipse(Pens.LawnGreen, x, intY, width, height)
           End Select
           intY += 18
   Next
End Sub
