rescue.rectangle: Convert Window Back To Rectangle

In spatstat.geom: Geometrical Functionality of the 'spatstat' Family

Convert Window Back To Rectangle

Description

Determines whether the given window is really a rectangle aligned with the coordinate axes, and if so, converts it to a rectangle object.

Usage

 rescue.rectangle(W)

Arguments

W	A window (object of class "owin").

Details

This function decides whether the window W is actually a rectangle aligned with the coordinate axes. This will be true if W is

• a rectangle (window object of type "rectangle");

• a polygon (window object of type "polygonal" with a single polygonal boundary) that is a rectangle aligned with the coordinate axes;

• a binary mask (window object of type "mask") in which all the pixel entries are TRUE.

If so, the function returns this rectangle, a window object of type "rectangle". If not, the function returns W.

Value

Another object of class "owin" representing the same window.
