In SDraw: Spatially Balanced Samples of Spatial Objects

#' @title Selection of spatially balanced samples.
#' 
#' @description SDraw provides a set of R functions that draw
#' Halton-Lattice samples (HAL),
#' Balanced-Acceptance-Samples (BAS), 
#' Generalized-Random-Tessellation-Stratified (GRTS) samples, 
#' Simple-Systematic-Samples (SSS), and 
#' Simple-Random-Samples (SRS).  The types of input 
#' frames accepted are points (0-D, finite), lines (1-D, infinite), or polygons (2-D,
#' infinite).

#' The work-horse functions are named \code{???.point}, \code{???.line}, and 
#' \code{???.polygon}, where '\code{???}' is either \code{hal}, \code{bas}, \code{grts}, 
#' \code{sss}, or \code{srs}.  For simplicity, an S4 generic, 
#' \code{sdraw}, is provided to handle all combinations of sample and frame types 
#' (see \code{\link{sdraw}}).
