Figure-class {pgs}R Documentation

Class "Figure"

Description

Objects of class "Figure" represent simple geometric bounded subsets (such as rectangles, segments, point patterns) in spaces with arbitrary dimensions. The subsets are defined up to a translation. See extensions such as Quadrat, Segment or PointPattern.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("Figure", ...).

Slots

dimspace:
Object of class "numeric". Dimension of the space containing the figure. For instance, 2 for a planar figure.
coord:
Object of class "matrix". Each column contains the Cartesian coordinates of special points which define the figure. For instance, the end of a segment starting at the origin.

Methods

ltransf
signature(x = "Figure", m = "matrix"): ltransf for a figure.
scaling
signature(x = "Figure", s = "numeric"): scaling for a figure.

Note

Objects of class "Figure" should not be created directly. Use extensions (see below).
