hi; I have a set of ellipses where each ellipse is defined by its center position (x,y) , an orientaion angle teta, major axe a and a minor axe b. i want to find a way in order to draw those ellipses on a given image* Img* . any idea please? thank you

"Burn" it into the image pixels, or just display above the image in the overlay (without changing image pixel values at all)?

One way is to calculate a circle such as is described in the FAQ. Make it a unit circle as you first calculate it. Multiply the x coordinates by (a/2) and the y coordinates by (b/2). Then use hgtransform() to rotate it around the angle. Finally, add the center coordinates to the transformed results.

Sorry, didn't read the question properly:
phi = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);
Q = [cos(theta), -sin(theta); sin(theta), cos(theta)];
X = bsxfun(@plus, [xc; yc], Q * [a/2 * cos(phi); b/2 * sin(phi)]);
plot(X(1, :), X(2, :))
... yes, your way may be cleaner :)

I have no objection to using a rotation matrix instead of hgtransform() :-)
