efourier_i: Inverse elliptical Fourier transform

In Momocs: Morphometrics using R

Inverse elliptical Fourier transform

Description

efourier_i uses the inverse elliptical Fourier transformation to calculate a shape, when given a list with Fourier coefficients, typically obtained computed with efourier.

Usage

efourier_i(ef, nb.h, nb.pts = 120)

Arguments

ef	list. A list containing a_n, b_n, c_n and d_n Fourier coefficients, such as returned by efourier.
nb.h	integer. The number of harmonics to use. If not specified, length(ef$an) is used.
nb.pts	integer. The number of points to calculate.

Details

See efourier for the mathematical background.

Value

A matrix of (x; y) coordinates.

Note

Directly borrowed for Claude (2008), and also called iefourier there.
