Set a mask on an object

Description

Set a mask on an object See constructMask() for examples on how to construct masks.

Usage

setMask(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
setMask(x, mask, coordinates = 1:2, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
setMask(x, mask, coordinates = 1:2, ...)

## S3 method for class 'DataFrameStack'
setMask(x, mask, coordinates = attr(x, "coordinates"), ...)

## S3 method for class 'SpatialGrid'
setMask(x, mask, ...)

## S3 method for class 'GridTopology'
setMask(x, mask, ...)

## S3 method for class 'SpatialPoints'
setMask(x, mask, ...)

Arguments

x

an object to mask (for set) or masked (for get)

...

extra arguments for generic compatibility

mask

the mask to impose on x

coordinates

for some of the methods, it is important to specify the names or indices of the columns containing the geographic coordinates (only setMask.data.frame) or else to specify the matrix of spatial coordinates (all setMask methods including it)

Value

The object x appropriately masked (for the setter methods).
