Description

Documentation for SLiM function pointReflected, which is a method of the SLiM class Subpopulation. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

Usage

1

Arguments

point

An object of type float. See details for description.

Details

Returns a revised version of point that has been brought inside the spatial boundaries of the subpopulation by reflection. In brief, if a coordinate of point lies beyond a spatial boundary, that coordinate is reflected across the boundary, so that it lies inside the boundary by the same magnitude that it previously lay outside the boundary. This is done iteratively until all coordinates lie inside the subpopulation’s boundaries. This method is useful for implementing reflecting boundary conditions. This may only be called in simulations for which continuous space has been enabled with initializeSLiMOptions(). The length of point must be an exact multiple of the dimensionality of the simulation; in other words, point may contain values comprising more than one point. In this case, each point will be processed as described above and a new vector containing all of the processed points will be returned.

Value

An object of type float.
