In Therion's Metapost, the line is easy; pickup PenC; thdraw P;

Drawing a horizontal ellipse at the coordinates of the last point in the line is easy: p:=fullcircle xscaled (.5u) yscaled (.25u); draw p shifted (point (length P) of P);

But making the last "leg" of the line stop at the point where it intersects the ellipse ... I am baffled.

Hi, instead of "thdraw P;" use "thdraw P cutafter p;" after defining both paths P and p. Martin
