// This creates an ellipsoid
// INPUTS:
//   wname - name of ywave having 361 points
//              (presumes xwave of same length is named wname + "x")
//   (xo,yo) - center position of ellipse
//   (a, b) - elliptical dimesions to above
//   alpha - angle of rotation (counterclockwise)
// OUTPUTS:
//   make all changes directly in ywave and xwave
