SplitSpLines: Split Spatial Lines
In opentraj: Tools for Creating and Analysing Air Trajectory Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

This function divides an object of class SpatialLines-class defined by the argument [sp.lines] into a number of sub sets of SpatialLines defined by the argument [into].

1 2	# divides the SpatialLines Object into 8 sub sets of SpatialLines SplitSpLines(sp.lines, into)

`sp.lines`	Object of class `SpatialLines-class` calculated by the function `Df2SpLines`.
`into`	Number of times that the sp.lines object must be divided.

If the number provided by the argument [into] is not multiple of the number of lines in the SpatialLines object, the last element of the list will contain a SpatialLines object with more lines than the first ones. Thus, the original SpatialLines object will not be equally divided.

Although this function might be used seperately, the SplitSpLines function is called by the RasterizeTraj function in order to split the spLines and hence, do the process in parallel.

Returns a list of SpatialLines Object.
