DESCRIPTION

This routine implements the creation/over-writing semantics used in the KJB library in the case of ellipse_lists. If *target_list_ptr_ptr is NULL, then this routine creates the ellipse_list. If it is not null, and it is the right size, then this routine does nothing. If it is the wrong size, then it is resized. In order to be memory efficient, we free before resizing. If the resizing fails, then the original contents of the *target_list_ptr_ptr will be lost. However, (*target_list_ptr_ptr)->ellipses will be set to NULL, so (*target_list_ptr_ptr) can be safely sent to free_ellipse_list().

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
