Test Which Side of Infinite Line a Point Falls On

Description

Given an infinite line and a spatial point location, determine which side of the line the point falls on.

Usage

whichhalfplane(L, x, y = NULL)

Arguments

L

Object of class "infline" specifying one or more infinite straight lines in two dimensions.

x, y

Arguments acceptable to xy.coords specifying the locations of the points.

Details

An infinite line L divides the two-dimensional plane into two half-planes. This function returns a matrix M of logical values in which M[i,j] = TRUE if the jth spatial point lies below or to the left of the ith line.

Value

A logical matrix.
