The generateEnvelope function is called with the coordinates for points in the envelope along with a vector of radii for the circles surrounding each point. The function generates a list of points defining the envelope surrounding the entire set of points. These coordinates may be displayed using either the line or polygon graphics commands
1 | generateEnvelope(centers, r, ...)
|
centers |
a numeric matrix with each row containing the xy coordinates for each point. |
r |
a numeric vector containing the radius of each point |
... |
additional parameters such as the number of points to return when defining the arcs in the envelope |
envelopeXY |
The x and y coordinates for the points defining the envelope |
tangent_Points |
The tangent points defining the transition between arcs and lines along with the angle relative to the centorid of the input points |
