How would you clean this up ?

This was an interesting piece of code from a long time mentor and friend. He’s just started to learn Java some time ago, and has written this program to demonstrate how to draw an Ellipse.

He’s about 60 years of age. Has been a long time Turbo C-2.0 programmer. Mostly he develops small graphics programs to demonstrate some engineering drawing and mechanics concepts.
