segmentVolume: Determine segment volumes within a '"Stem"' Object

In sampSurf: Sampling Surface Simulation for Areal Sampling Methods

Description

This generic will allow the determination of segment volumes within individual "downLog" or "standingTree" objects.

Usage

segmentVolume(object, ...)

Arguments

object	See methods for the possibilites of this signature argument.
...	Just gobbled for now.

Details

If the object's solidType slot is not NULL, then the default taper equation is used to determine the volume based on the object's solidType. Otherwise, the segment volume is determined by fitting a spline to the object's taper data. Please see the methods for more information on usage: segmentVolume-methods

Value

The scalar volume of the segment chosen.
