Figure-class: Class "Figure"

In pgs: Precision of Geometric Sampling

Description

Objects of class "Figure" represent simple geometric bounded subsets (such as rectangles, segments, point patterns) in spaces with arbitrary dimensions. The subsets are defined up to a translation. See extensions such as Quadrat, Segment or PointPattern.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("Figure", ...).

Slots

dimspace:

Object of class "numeric". Dimension of the space containing the figure. For instance, 2 for a planar figure.

coord:

Object of class "matrix". Each column contains the Cartesian coordinates of special points which define the figure. For instance, the end of a segment starting at the origin.

Methods

ltransf

signature(x = "Figure", m = "matrix"): ltransf for a figure.

scaling

signature(x = "Figure", s = "numeric"): scaling for a figure.

Note

Objects of class "Figure" should not be created directly. Use extensions (see below).
