How to draw a shape (ellipse or oval) following some points and calculate its area?
问题 I am trying to plot rings of trees and calculate their areas. However, I have noticed that in reality not all rings have symmetric radii like a circle. I have data measurements of 4 radii, and I would like to plot rings (or any similar shape) following each point of every radio like this example (this figure was done manually with vectors in PowerPoint): the problem is that in R I found only the possibility to plot these rings with the circles option from the symbols() function, and I got
