[R] Is a point into an ellipse

[Alain Guillet]

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.


Regards,
Alain
