I am trying to learn algorithm for rendering an ellipse. Which is the best algorithm for rendering an ellipse in the terms of speed. For cirlce rendering, we use midpoint circle algorithm. Is there any algorithm similar to this for ellipse.

On my website I show how to create a sphere which you can render in OpenGL. you can modify the equations slightly so that the radius of the sphere changes as you go from the north pole down to the equator. This will give you an ellipse volume.
