izContainer-class: Class '"izContainer"'
In sampSurf: Sampling Surface Simulation for Areal Sampling Methods

Description Objects from the Class Slots Methods Author(s) See Also Examples

This is a virtual class whose purpose is to define a container class for objects of class "InclusionZone." It provides slots and validity checks that would be common to all subclasses. Please note that this is not a completely functional container class in the traditional sense at present as it does not have replacement, deletion, or addition functions. Please see “The InclusionZone Class” vignette for more information.

This is a virtual class, so no objects can be created of this type. However, subclass objects can be created by their constructors (see, e.g., "downLogIZs").

iZones:: Object of class "list": This slot holds a list of objects that all correspond to the same subclass of the "InclusionZone" class. In other words, each item must have been generated from the same sampling method; i.e., all of class "sausageIZ," for example.
units:: Object of class "character": The same units as the "Stem" class objects in the collection; note that they must all be measured in the same units.
bbox:: Object of class "matrix": The overall bounding box for the collection used in plotting.
description:: Object of class "character": A description of the collection.

bbox: signature(obj = "izContainer"): Return the minimal bounding box matrix.
hist: signature(x = "izContainer"): Histogram for population of objects.
perimeter: signature(object = "izContainer"): Graphical perimeter corresponding to the mnimal bounding box.
plot: signature(x = "izContainer", y = "missing"): Graphical plot of the collection.
sampSurf: signature(object = "izContainer", tract = "Tract"): Create a sampling surface for the collection on a given "Tract".
show: signature(object = "izContainer"): Print some information about the collection.
summary: signature(object = "izContainer"): A summary of the collection.
