Hi,
I drew an ellipse with the package ellipse. Now I would like to know if
a point is inside the ellipse. Is any R functions to do it without
computing the equation of the ellipse manually? Thanks.
For example, if I do "plot(ellipse(0.8), type = 'l')", I would like to
know if (0,1) belongs to the drawn ellipse.
It's probably too late by then, but if you saved the result of the call
to ellipse(0.8), and treat it as a polygon, there is the function
point.in.polygon in the sp package, or pip in splancs, or inside in
RFOC, or inside in GEOmap, etc.
