_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Compute the volume of a planar object. This is a generic function
     and a method for 'ellipsoid' objects.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'ellipsoid':
     volume(object)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: an R object the volume of which is wanted.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     a number, the volume of the given 'object'.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'ellipsoidhull' for spanning ellipsoid computation.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     example(ellipsoidhull) # which defines `ellipsoid' object <namefoo>
