class-gpc.poly: Class "gpc.poly"

gpc.poly-classR Documentation

Class "gpc.poly"

Description

A class for representing polygons composed of multiple contours, some of which may be holes.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("gpc.poly", ...) or by reading in from a file using read.polyfile.

Slots

pts

Object of class “list”. Actually, pts is a list of lists with length equal to the number of contours in the "gpc.poly" object. Each element of pts is a list of length 3 with names x, y, and hole. x and y are vectors containing the x and y coordinates, respectively, while hole is a logical indicating whether or not the contour is a hole.

show

signature(object = "gpc.poly"): Scale x and y coordinates by amount xscale and yscale. By default xscale equals yscale.

Note

The class "gpc.poly.nohole" is identical to "gpc.poly" except the hole flag for each contour of a "gpc.poly.nohole" object is always FALSE.

Examples

## Make some random polygons
set.seed(100)
a <- cbind(rnorm(100), rnorm(100))
a <- a[chull(a), ]

## Convert `a' from matrix to "gpc.poly"
a <- as(a, "gpc.poly")

b <- cbind(rnorm(100), rnorm(100))
b <- as(b[chull(b), ], "gpc.poly")

## More complex polygons with an intersection
p1 <- read.polyfile(system.file("poly-ex-gpc/ex-poly1.txt", package = "rgeos"))
p2 <- read.polyfile(system.file("poly-ex-gpc/ex-poly2.txt", package = "rgeos"))

## Plot both polygons and highlight their intersection in red
plot(append.poly(p1, p2))
plot(intersect(p1, p2), poly.args = list(col = 2), add = TRUE)

## Highlight the difference p1 \ p2 in green
plot(setdiff(p1, p2), poly.args = list(col = 3), add = TRUE)

## Highlight the difference p2 \ p1 in blue
plot(setdiff(p2, p1), poly.args = list(col = 4), add = TRUE)

## Plot the union of the two polygons
plot(union(p1, p2))

## Take the non-intersect portions and create a new polygon
## combining the two contours
p.comb <- append.poly(setdiff(p1, p2), setdiff(p2, p1))
plot(p.comb, poly.args = list(col = 2, border = 0))
