| fixBound {PBSmapping} | R Documentation | 
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.
fixBound (polys, tol)
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. | 
When moving vertices to a boundary, the function moves them strictly horizontally or vertically, as appropriate.
PolySet identical to the input, except for possible changes in
the X and Y columns.
