matthiasm@8: % PLOTCOV2 - Plots a covariance ellipse with major and minor axes
matthiasm@8: %            for a bivariate Gaussian distribution.
matthiasm@8: %
matthiasm@8: % Usage:
matthiasm@8: %   h = plotcov2(mu, Sigma[, OPTIONS]);
matthiasm@8: % 
matthiasm@8: % Inputs:
matthiasm@8: %   mu    - a 2 x 1 vector giving the mean of the distribution.
matthiasm@8: %   Sigma - a 2 x 2 symmetric positive semi-definite matrix giving
matthiasm@8: %           the covariance of the distribution (or the zero matrix).
matthiasm@8: %
matthiasm@8: % Options:
matthiasm@8: %   'conf'    - a scalar between 0 and 1 giving the confidence
matthiasm@8: %               interval (i.e., the fraction of probability mass to
matthiasm@8: %               be enclosed by the ellipse); default is 0.9.
matthiasm@8: %   'num-pts' - the number of points to be used to plot the
matthiasm@8: %               ellipse; default is 100.
matthiasm@8: %
matthiasm@8: % This function also accepts options for PLOT.
matthiasm@8: %
matthiasm@8: % Outputs:
matthiasm@8: %   h     - a vector of figure handles to the ellipse boundary and
matthiasm@8: %           its major and minor axes
