ssBigBAF-methods: Methods for "ssBigBAF" Object Construction in Package...

In ssExtra: Additional routines for sampSurf

Description

There is currently one available method for the generic ssBigBAF. This method generates valid objects of the associated "ssBigBAF" class.

Methods

signature(ss.bb.vol = "sampSurf", ss.bb.ba = "sampSurf", ss.ct.ba = "sampSurf", ss.ct.vol = "sampSurf")

This is the main constructor method. There are validity checks performed on the individual "sampSurf" objects passed to make sure they are consistent in size, and store the correct information. These include, but are not limited to: the tract extents and units; all objects must share the same tree population (exactly); and each must be based on "horizontalPointIZ" sampling with matching BAFs for the two count surfaces, and likewise for volume.

usage...

ssBigBAF(ss.bb.vol,
         ss.bb.ba,
         ss.ct.ba,
         ss.ct.vol,
         description = 'Big BAF sampling surface object',
         runQuiet = FALSE,
         ...)

• ss.bb.vol: Object of class "sampSurf" that holds the volume surface for the large (big) BAF angle gauge.

• ss.bb.ba: Object of class "sampSurf" that holds the basal area surface for the big BAF angle gauge.

• ss.ct.ba: Object of class "sampSurf" that holds the basal area surface for the small/count BAF.

• ss.ct.vol: Object of class "sampSurf" that holds the volume surface for the count BAF.

• description: A character description for the return object.

• runQuiet: TRUE: no feedback; FALSE: feedback if available.

• ... : Other arguments to be passed along perhaps eventually, right now they are “gobbled.”
