How to generate an ellipse using the insertShape Function?

Does matlab have a preprogramed position generater for an 'ellipse', using insertShape ? Like it does for 'circle', 'rectangle', etc (shown in the image below). I only saw a few shapes listed on the Help Center page and I was wondering if there is more?
I am trying to avoid the brute force of using 'polygon' with points pulled from the analytical function for the ellipse. It would be much more convient and efficient if I could use a preprogrammed position generator for an ellipse, where I enter centroid, major axis, minor axis, etc.
Thanks for the help!

This feature is not available as of now. You can create an ellipse by approximating the polygon.
Support for drawing an ellipsed is available in R2024b: https://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/ref/insertshape.html
