clipsvg: Clips a standardised pointsvg object into a given frame

In StratigrapheR: Integrated Stratigraphy

Clips a standardised pointsvg object into a given frame

Description

Clips a svg object imported as data frame using pointsvg if outside of a given frame. In other words it removes the elements of the svg that are entirely outside a given area.

Usage

clipsvg(
  object,
  xmin = -Inf,
  xmax = +Inf,
  ymin = -Inf,
  ymax = +Inf,
  by.entity = TRUE
)

Arguments

object	a pointsvg object (svg object imported as data frame using pointsvg).
xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax	clipping coordinates, default to +-Inf (no clipping)
by.entity	whether to remove all entities having points out of the clipping zone (TRUE; default) or to only remove the points out it (FALSE, and to use on lines for better result)

centresvg, changesvg, framesvg and pointsvg

If you want to also keep the elements that are only partly inside the clipping region: ignore

Examples

# Simple use

object <- example.ammonite

plot(c(-1,1), c(-1,1), type = "n", ylab = "y", xlab = "x")

res.object <- clipsvg(object, xmax = 0.5)

abline(v = 0.5)

centresvg(object, 0, 0, lty = 2)
centresvg(res.object, 0, 0, col = "red", lwd = 2)

# Advanced used

object2 <- example.breccia

plot(c(-1,3), c(-1,11), type = "n", ylab = "y", xlab = "x")

object2replicated <- framesvg(object2, 0,2,c(0,4,8), c(2,6,10),
                              output = TRUE)

object2clipped    <- clipsvg(object2replicated, 0, 1.7, 1, 9)

rect(0, 1, 1.7, 9, border = "red")

placesvg(object2clipped, border = "red", lwd = 2)
