generate.transects-methods: S4 generic method to generate an instance of a design

In DSsim: Distance Sampling Simulations

Description

Uses the Survey.Design details to generate transects. Currently this involves loading a survey shapefile from the path specified in the Survey.Design object and can only work with line transect designs.

Usage

generate.transects(object, region = NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'PT.Design'
generate.transects(object, region = NULL, index = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'PT.Nested.Design'
generate.transects(object, region = NULL, index = NULL, silent = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'PT.Systematic.Design'
generate.transects(object, region = NULL, index = NULL, silent = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'LT.Design'
generate.transects(object, region = NULL, index = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'LT.EqSpace.ZZ.Design'
generate.transects(
  object,
  region = NULL,
  index = NULL,
  silent = FALSE,
  complement = FALSE
)

## S4 method for signature 'LT.Systematic.Design'
generate.transects(object, region = NULL, index = NULL, silent = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'Simulation'
generate.transects(object, region = NULL)

Arguments

object	an object of class Simulation or a class which inherits from Survey.Design
region	optional only required if object is of class Survey.Design.
...	optional argument index if an object of class Survey.Design is supplied allowing the user to access / plot different sets of transects listed in the filenames slot.
index	specifies which set of transect should be loaded
silent	if TRUE does not report warnings about a single value for nested spacing with a multi strata region
complement	logical indicating whether two sets of complimentary transects should be generated

Value

an object of class Line.Transect
