    Cut a geometry in the object by assigning x, y, maxradius, minradius, theta and segments of the ellipse.

    **Parameters:** 
        **new_geometry_tag:** tag of the geometry group cut from the original geometry.

        **object_geometry_tag:** tag of the original geometry group
        
        **region:** (default nseg 20) There are three methods to define a ellipse:
        
        1. [x y minradius maxradius theta nseg]
        2. center [x, y] radius [min max] theta nseg 
        3. x value, y value, rad value. minradius value, maxradius value, theta value, nseg value
