    For a research project I need to draw ellipses on top of a polygon
    map based on a width and height field in my table. I was really
    happy to find out that QGIS has this functionality. Unfortunately I
    don't get it to work.<br>
    <br>
    I managed to draw the polygons and draw ellipses on top of them,
    using two rules (rule based symbology). I use the "centroid fill"
    with an "ellipse marker". The marker initially has a fixed size
    (4x3) but I like to set these by two fields in the "data defined
    settings" tab. I can choose the fields, but their values do not
    overrule the 4x3 standard settings.<br>
    <br>
    Can anybody verify this behaviour or tell me what I'm doing wrong?<br>
