Function on a Linear Network

Description

Create a function on a linear network.

Usage

  linfun(f, L)

Arguments

f	A function in the R language.
L	A linear network (object of class "linnet") on which f is defined.

Details

This creates an object of class "linfun". This is a simple mechanism for handling a function defined on a linear network, to make it easier to display and manipulate.

f should be a function in the R language, with formal arguments x,y,seg,tp (and optional additional arguments) where x,y are Cartesian coordinates of locations on the linear network, seg, tp are the local coordinates.

The function f should be vectorised: that is, if x,y,seg,tp are numeric vectors of the same length n, then v <- f(x,y,seg,tp) should be a vector of length n.

L should be a linear network (object of class "linnet") on which the function f is well-defined.

The result is a function g in the R language which belongs to the special class "linfun". There are several methods for this class including print, plot and as.linim.

This function can be called as g(X) where X is an "lpp" object, or called as g(x,y) or g(x,y,seg,tp) where x,y,seg,tp are coordinates. If the original function f had additional arguments, then these may be included in the call to g, and will be passed to f.

Value

A function in the R\ language. It also belongs to the class "linfun" which has methods for plot, print etc.

Examples

  f <- function(x,y,seg,tp) { x+y }
  g <- linfun(f, simplenet)
  plot(g)
  X <- runiflpp(3, simplenet)
  g(X)
  Z <- as.linim(g)

  f <- function(x,y,seg,tp, mul=1) { mul*(x+y) }
  g <- linfun(f, simplenet)
  plot(g)
  plot(g, mul=10)
  g(X, mul=10)
  Z <- as.linim(g, mul=10)
