(1) The ellipse package, according to its DESCRIPTION file, is a package of
``Functions for drawing ellipses and ellipse-like confidence regions''.
It has
nothing to do with *fitting* ellipses.
(2) What on earth do you mean by ``fit an elipse (sic) to two lines of
identity''?
(3) There are (infinitely) many ellipses that could be associated with a
scatter
plot such as that displayed in the figure you refer. (E.g. confidence
ellipses or
predication ellipses, one of each for each level of confidence.) You
will have to
be much clearer and much more precise about what you wish to accomplish
in order to get any help.

Hi,
I know there is a package 'elipse' available but I'm not sure how to use it
for my specific implementation.
What I would like to do is fit an elipse to two lines of identity (at right
angles to each other), as indicated in the following figure:

Conceptually, I'm really struggling to even come up with a way of doing
this, let alone an implementation.
Would really appreciate some pointers :)
