Pyqtgraph: How do I plot an ellipse or a circle

I would like plot circles or ellipses in Pyqtgraph gl.GLViewWidget(). However I did not find a function to do that. Anyone know the way to do that?

There is functionality to be able to make shapes in pyqtgraph without having to use the ROI's - the ROI's seem to have movable anchor points which may be undesirable in some applications. Have not tested as applied to widgets though, but sharing this in case it is useful.

I just did something along these lines

import pyqtgraph as pg

win = pg.GraphicsLayoutWidget(show=True, title="Plotting")
p = win.addPlot(title='')

p_ellipse = pg.QtGui.QGraphicsEllipseItem(0, 0, 10, 20)  # x, y, width, height
p_ellipse.setPen(pg.mkPen((0, 0, 0, 100)))
p_ellipse.setBrush(pg.mkBrush((50, 50, 200)))

p.addItem(p_ellipse)

and it worked for me

import numpy as np
import pyqtgraph as pg
image = np.random.normal(size=(500, 400))
plt1 = pg.PlotWidget()
plt1_imageitem = pg.ImageItem(image)
plt1.addItem(plt1_imageitem)
roi_circle = pg.CircleROI([250, 250], [120, 120], pen=pg.mkPen('r',width=2))
# roi_circle.sigRegionChanged.connect(circle_update)
plt1.addItem(roi_circle)
plt1.show()

As a regular user of pyqtgraph I do not believe that it has functions for generating circles or ellipses. I believe that you would have to define the circle and ellipse functions yourself and generate the points of the circle or ellipse from those.
