fixBound {PBSmapping}R Documentation

Fix the Boundary Points of a PolySet

Description

The ranges of a PolySet's X and Y columns define its boundary. This function fixes a PolySet's vertices by moving vertices near a boundary to the actual boundary.

Usage

fixBound (polys, tol)

Arguments

polys PolySet to fix.
tol vector (length 1 or 2) specifying a percentage of the ranges to use in defining near to a boundary. If tol has two elements, the first specifies the tolerance for the x-axis and the second the y-axis. If it has only one element, the function uses the same tolerance for both axes.

Details

When moving vertices to a boundary, the function moves them strictly horizontally or vertically, as appropriate.

Value

PolySet identical to the input, except for possible changes in the X and Y columns.

Examples

#--- set up a long horizontal and long vertical line to extend the plot's
#--- limits, and then try fixing the bounds of a line in the top-left
#--- corner and a line in the bottom-right corner

                    X = c(0, 10, 5, 5, 0.1, 4.9, 5.1, 9.9),
