pinpoly: Check if Points are within Polygon

In spatialkernel: Non-Parametric Estimation of Spatial Segregation in a Multivariate Point Process

Description

Check the location of point(s) with respect to a polygon.

Usage

pinpoly(poly, pts)

Arguments

poly	matrix containing the x,y-coordinates of the vertices of the polygon boundary.
pts	matrix of containing the x,y-coordinates of the point locations.

Value

An integer vector of indicators for each point in pts,

-1

error when number of polygon vertices exceeds 3000;

0

outside the polygon;

1

at the polygon boundary;

2

inside the polygon.

Note

This function is provided here so that users do not need to load other packages, as it is not available in the base R packages. THE VERTICES MAY BE LISTED CLOCKWISE OR ANTICLOCKWISE

The return values have been changed from the original ones so that the point is inside (including at the boundary) if positive.
