Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there an easy way to plot an ellipse with matplotlib.pyplot in Python? I was hoping there would be something similar to matplotlib.pyplot.arrow, but I can’t find anything.
Is the only way to do it using matplotlib.patches with draw_artist or something similar? I would hope that there is a simpler method, but the documentation doesn’t offer much help.

Have you seen the matplotlib ellipse demo? Here they use matplotlib.patches.Ellipse.
