## Description

ClutterBehaviourEllipse interpolates actors along a path defined by an ellipse.

### Note

When applying an ellipse behaviour to an actor, the behaviour will update the actor's position and depth and set them to what is dictated by the ellipses initial position.

Creates a behaviour that drives actors along an elliptical path with given center, width and height; the movement starts at `start` degrees (with 0 corresponding to 12 o'clock) and ends at `end` degrees. Angles greated than 360 degrees get clamped to the canonical interval <0, 360); if `start` is equal to `end`, the behaviour will rotate by exacly 360 degrees.
