Colour, line type and line width for the ellipse(s). Can be vectors, allowing different
colour, line type etc. Recycled as necessary to length length(x).
fill, density, angle
Fill colour, line density and line angle for each ellipse in x. See polygon for details.
Can be vectors. Recycled as necessary to length length(x).
add
If TRUE, ellipses are added to an existing plot. If FALSE a new plot is created.
npoints
Controls the number of points used to form each ellipse. See data.ellipse for details.
xlim, ylim
Plot limits. Ignored if add == FALSE
prinax
If TRUE (the default), the principal axes are drawn on the plot.
col.prinax, lty.prinax, lwd.prinax
Colour, line type and line width for principal axes.
xlab, ylab
Axis labels passed to plot if add == FALSE. Defaults to dimension names
in x or, if those are NULL, to "X" and "Y".
…
Additional arguments, passed to plot if add == TRUE.
Value
The function is called for its side effect, which is the drawing of ellipses.
Details
A series of ellipses specified in x is plotted.
The function is primarily used for adding ellipses to a Youden plot.
