outer.convhull: Version of outer which operates only in a convex hull

In tripack: Triangulation of Irregularly Spaced Data

Version of outer which operates only in a convex hull

Description

This version of outer evaluates FUN only on that part of the grid cx x cy that is enclosed within the convex hull of the points (px,py).

This can be useful for spatial estimation if no extrapolation is wanted.

Usage

outer.convhull(cx,cy,px,py,FUN,duplicate="remove",...)

Arguments

cx	x cordinates of grid
cy	y cordinates of grid
px	vector of x coordinates of points
py	vector of y coordinates of points
FUN	function to be evaluated over the grid
duplicate	indicates what to do with duplicate (px_i,py_i) points, default "remove".
...	additional arguments for FUN

Value

Matrix with values of FUN (NAs if outside the convex hull).
