bit of a workaround, but you could put an ellipse on the top of a triangle.

i don't think gem has either geometries built in,  but you can make a triangle with the [polygon] object,  and then make an ellipse by making a circle, and then using the [scale] object to squash it down a bit.

this would work for sections of less than a quarter circle.  for greater amounts, you would have to add more triangle/ellipse sections.
