outer.convhull {tripack}

Version of outer which operates only in a convex hull

Description

This version of outer evaluates FUN only on that part of the grid cx x cy that is enclosed within the convex hull of the points (px,py).

This can be useful for spatial estimation if no extrapolation is wanted.

Usage

outer.convhull(cx,cy,px,py,FUN,duplicate="remove",...)

Arguments

cx

x cordinates of grid

cy

y cordinates of grid

px

vector of x coordinates of points

py

vector of y coordinates of points

FUN

function to be evaluated over the grid

duplicate

indicates what to do with duplicate (px_i,py_i) points, default "remove".

...

additional arguments for FUN

Value

Matrix with values of FUN (NAs if outside the convex hull).
