    * of radius r in output space is an ellipse which contains, at

+   * SUMMARY OF THE METHOD: Compute the non-unitary factor of the left
+   * polar decomposition of the linear transformation defining the
+   * ellipse and make sure that both its columns have norm at least 1.
+   * Because rotations and reflexions map disks to themselves, it is
+   * not necessary to compute the other factor of the polar
+   * decomposition.
