Forum: Inkscape Beginner question: How do I get rid of pie segment in ellipse

I have two objects, a circle and an ellipse, which together make  a 
cartoonish
human eye. But there is a black line from the center to the edge for 
both
objects. I understand that this is a pie segment in the circle/ellipse. 
No
matter how I move the little circles on the edge I can't get rid of this 
line.
If I move too far the entire shape disappears. Move back a tiny 
increment and
there is the line again.

To put it another way, how do I create either shape without having any 
pie
slice at all? Just a pure circle or ellipse.  I have three books on 
Inkscape
but none of them seem to cover this problem.

Select the circle or ellipse.  Change to the Ellipse Tool.  At the top,
in the Tools Control Bar, click on the right most control, the one that
looks like a full circle.  This will reset the arc to an ellipse.
