patch: 'Patches' coordinates

In NetLogoR: Build and Run Spatially Explicit Agent-Based Models

Patches coordinates

Description

Report the coordinates of the patches at the given [x, y] locations.

Usage

patch(world, x, y, duplicate = FALSE, torus = FALSE, out = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'worldNLR,numeric,numeric'
patch(world, x, y, duplicate = FALSE, torus = FALSE, out = FALSE)

Arguments

world	WorldMatrix or worldArray object.
x	Numeric. Vector of x coordinates. Must be of same length as y.
y	Numeric. Vector of y coordinates. Must be of same length as x.
duplicate	Logical. If more than one location [x, y] fall into the same patch and duplicate == TRUE, the patch coordinates are returned the number of times the locations. If duplicate == FALSE, the patch coordinates are only returned once. Default is duplicate == FALSE.
torus	Logical to determine if the world is wrapped. Default is torus = FALSE.
out	Logical. If out = FALSE, no patch coordinates are returned for patches outside of the world's extent, if out = TRUE, NA are returned. Default is out = FALSE.

Details

If a location [x, y] is outside the world's extent and torus = FALSE and out = FALSE, no patch coordinates are returned; if torus = FALSE and out = TRUE, NA are returned; if torus = TRUE, the patch coordinates from a wrapped world are returned.

Value

Matrix (ncol = 2) with the first column pxcor and the second column pycor representing the patches coordinates at [x, y].
