R Documentation

Convex hull, minimal bounding rotated rectangle, and minimal bounding circle

Description

Get the convex hull, the minimal bounding rotated rectangle, or minimal bounding circle of a SpatVector

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector'
convHull(x, by="")

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector'
minRect(x, by="")

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector'
minCircle(x, by="")

Arguments

`x`	SpatVector
`by`	character (variable name), to get a new geometry for groups of input geometries

Value

SpatVector

Examples

p <- vect(system.file("ex/lux.shp", package="terra"))
h <- convHull(p)

hh <- convHull(p, "NAME_1")
rr <- minRect(p, "NAME_1")

plot(rr, lwd=5, border="gray")
plot(hh, "NAME_1", col=rainbow(10, alpha=.5), lwd=3, add=TRUE, plg=list(x="topright"))
lines(aggregate(p, "NAME_1"), col="blue", lty=2, lwd=2)
