circularPlotIZ-class: Class '"circularPlotIZ"'

In sampSurf: Sampling Surface Simulation for Areal Sampling Methods

Description

This class holds the inclusion zone definition for the fixed-area circular plot method for sampling standing trees.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("circularPlotIZ", ...). However, this is not recommended because the objects are fairly complex. Instead, one can use the object constructor circularPlotIZ to create new objects.

Slots

This class adds one slot to the "standingTreeIZ" class specification, please see the superclasses (see below) for more definitions.

circularPlot:

Object of class "circularPlot": An object from the "ArealSampling" subclass "circularPlot". Please see the help for this class for more information on the slots associated with circular plot objects.

Extends

Class "standingTreeIZ", directly.
Class "InclusionZone", by class "standingTreeIZ", distance 2.

Methods

area

signature(x = "circularPlotIZ"): Return the area of the circular plot inclusion zone.

izGrid

signature(izObject = "circularPlotIZ", tract = "Tract"): Create the raster grid object associated with the inclusion zone.

perimeter

signature(object = "circularPlotIZ"): Return the object perimeter as a SpatialPolygons object.

plot

signature(x = "circularPlotIZ", y = "missing"): Plot the object.

summary

signature(object = "circularPlotIZ"): Summary report for the object.
