[RESOLVED] Plot ellipse through apex and two other points
I need to draw an ellipse through point P2, which is the apex of either the minor or major axis, and two other points P1 and P3. Am I correct in believing there can only be one such ellipse? And if so, how can I find its centre, eccentricity and major axis length?

EDIT: It would be useful to know if the apex is the end of the major or minor axis, although I could calculate that if necessary from the above data.
