| components_ashape3d {alphashape3d} | R Documentation | 
Connected subsets computation
Description
This function calculates and clusters the different connected components of
the \alpha-shape of a given sample of points in the three-dimensional
space.
Usage
components_ashape3d(as3d, indexAlpha = 1)
Arguments
| as3d | An object of class  | 
| indexAlpha | A single value or vector with the indexes of
 | 
Details
The function components_ashape3d computes the connected components of
the \alpha-shape for each value of \alpha in
as3d$alpha[indexAlpha] when indexAlpha is numeric.
If indexAlpha="all" or indexAlpha="ALL" then the function
computes the connected components of the \alpha-shape for all values
of \alpha in as3d$alpha.
Value
If indexAlpha is a single value then the function returns a
vector v of length equal to the sample size. For each sample point
i, v[i] represents the label of the connected component to
which the point belongs (for isolated points, v[i]=-1). The labels of
the connected components are ordered by size where the largest one (in
number of vertices) gets the smallest label which is one.
Otherwise components_ashape3d returns a list of vectors describing
the connected components of the \alpha-shape for each selected value
of \alpha.
