Hi Michael,
Sorry to bother. I am a little stuck on using the scripts for parabola and hyperbola

For me, here is an ellipse with its foci marked with points

Can you show me the usage of the scripts with these "pick points" or major-minor axis parameters please?

Or explain further..

Thanks.

Ok, I think I figured out my error. Did some more reading and digging...

"""""This should be evident from looking at the drawings (the foci are inside an ellipse, outside a hyperbola).""""""""

This is where I confused myself. So the script isn't doing what I was trying to make it do...
