Dear Paul,

As I understand it, the ellipse package is meant for drawing confidence ellipses, not density (i.e., data) ellipses. You should be able to use ellipse::ellipse() to draw a bivariate-normal density ellipse (assuming that's what you want), but you'll have to do some computation first.

You might find the dataEllipse() function in the car package more convenient (again assuming that you want bivariate-normal density contours).

I hope this helps,
 John

Dear R friends,

Happy new year to you all. Not quite sure if this is the proper place to
ask about this, so I apologize if it is not, and if it isnĀ“t, maybe you can
point me to the right place.

I would like to know if there is any R package that allows me to produce
density ellipses. Searching through the net, I came across a package called
ellipse, but I'm not sure if this is the one I should use.

Any help and/or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Paul
