How can i draw a ellipse

[Ziggurat]

I need to aproximate an ellipse using ogl primitives. Also i need to draw it rotated without using glRotatef. Thanks.

Originally from Mancha (http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boa...ML/009191.html)

glBegin( GL_LINE_STRIP );
Segments=10.f;
for( float angle = 0.0f; angle <= (2.0f*PI); angle += (2.f*PI/Segments){
  x = cos(angle)*XRadius;
  y = sin(angle)*YRadius;
  glVertex3f( x, y, 0);
}
glEnd();

edit:
Segments are the number of lines that'll approximate the ellipse;
XRadius/YRadius are the radius you want for both the axis (if both are 1, you'll have a circle with radius 1)
