deletebranch: Delete or Extract a Branch of a Tree

In spatstat.linnet: Linear Networks Functionality of the 'spatstat' Family

Delete or Extract a Branch of a Tree

Description

Deletes or extracts a given branch of a tree.

Usage

deletebranch(X, ...)

## S3 method for class 'linnet'
deletebranch(X, code, labels, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lpp'
deletebranch(X, code, labels, ...)

extractbranch(X, ...)

## S3 method for class 'linnet'
extractbranch(X, code, labels, ..., which=NULL)

## S3 method for class 'lpp'
extractbranch(X, code, labels, ..., which=NULL)

Arguments

X	Linear network (object of class "linnet") or point pattern on a linear network (object of class "lpp").
code	Character string. Label of the branch to be deleted or extracted.
labels	Vector of character strings. Branch labels for the vertices of the network, usually obtained from treebranchlabels.
...	Arguments passed to methods.
which	Logical vector indicating which vertices of the network should be extracted. Overrides code and labels.

Details

The linear network L <- X or L <- as.linnet(X) must be a tree, that is, it has no loops.

The argument labels should be a character vector giving tree branch labels for each vertex of the network. It is usually obtained by calling treebranchlabels.

The branch designated by the string code will be deleted or extracted.

The return value is the result of deleting or extracting this branch from X along with any data associated with this branch (such as points or marks).

Value

Another object of the same type as X obtained by deleting or extracting the specified branch.

Examples

  # make a simple tree
  m <- simplenet$m
  m[8,10] <- m[10,8] <- FALSE
  L <- linnet(vertices(simplenet), m)
  plot(L, main="")
  # compute branch labels 
  tb <- treebranchlabels(L, 1)
  tbc <- paste0("[", tb, "]")
  text(vertices(L), labels=tbc, cex=2)

  # delete branch B
  LminusB <- deletebranch(L, "b", tb)
  plot(LminusB, add=TRUE, col="green")

  # extract branch B
  LB <- extractbranch(L, "b", tb)
  plot(LB, add=TRUE, col="red")
