Box2d doesn’t support **Ellipse body** 😓, i am working with (libGdx & Box2D) and using this method to convert _Ellipse shape_ to _Circle shape_ :

```
private Shape getCircle(EllipseMapObject ellipseObject) {
		Ellipse ellipse = ellipseObject.getEllipse();
		float radius = ellipse.width * .5f;
		CircleShape circleShape = new CircleShape();
		circleShape.setRadius(radius);
		circleShape.setPosition(new Vector2(ellipse.x + radius, ellipse.y + radius));
		return circleShape;
	}

```

it is works fine ! but, it will be nice to add **Circle Shape** to **Tiled Editor**.  
thank you.
