Endpoints of Line Segment Pattern
Description
Extracts the endpoints of each line segment in a line segment pattern.
Usage
endpoints.psp(x, which="both")
Arguments
x |
A line segment pattern (object of class |
which |
String specifying which endpoint or endpoints should be returned. See Details. |
Details
This function extracts one endpoint, or both endpoints,
from each of the line segments in x
,
and returns these points as a point pattern object.
The argument which
determines which endpoint or endpoints
of each line segment should be returned:
which="both"
-
(the default): both endpoints of each line segment are returned. The result is a point pattern with twice as many points as there are line segments in
x
. which="first"
-
select the first endpoint of each line segment (returns the points with coordinates
x$ends$x0, x$ends$y0
). which="second"
-
select the second endpoint of each line segment (returns the points with coordinates
x$ends$x1, x$ends$y1
). which="left"
-
select the left-most endpoint (the endpoint with the smaller
x
coordinate) of each line segment. which="right"
-
select the right-most endpoint (the endpoint with the greater
x
coordinate) of each line segment. which="lower"
-
select the lower endpoint (the endpoint with the smaller
y
coordinate) of each line segment. which="upper"
-
select the upper endpoint (the endpoint with the greater
y
coordinate) of each line segment.
The result is a point pattern. It also has an attribute
"id"
which is an integer vector identifying
the segment which contributed each point.
Value
Point pattern (object of class "ppp"
).
