xtractlip: Extract Convex Hull Ellipse from fry

In geophys: Geophysics, Continuum Mechanics, Gravity Modeling

Description

Extract Convex Hull Ellipse from fry-diagram

Usage

xtractlip(AF)

Arguments

AF	x-y List out put of plotfry

Details

To get closest points to center, program cycles around in a circular manner pulling out the closest points. These points are used to estimate the chull ellipse.

Value

List: see output of ellipsoidhull: an object of class '"ellipsoid"', basically a 'list' with several components
