plotellipse: Plot Ellipse

Description

Plots an ellipse with percentage tolerance and a certain location and covariance.

Usage

plotellipse(x.loc, x.cov, perc = 0.98, col = NULL, lty = NULL)

Arguments

x.loc

the location vector

x.cov

the covariance

perc

defines the percentage and should be a (vector of) number(s) between 0 and 1

col, lty

graphical parameters

Value
