![show/hide quicksearch [+]](../../../images/find.png)
Creates a new EC::Group object.
ec_method is a symbol that represents an EC_METHOD. Currently the following are supported:
:GFp_simple
:GFp_mont
:GFp_nist
:GF2m_simple
If the first argument is :GFp or :GF2m, creates a new curve with given parameters.
