| Figure-class {pgs} | R Documentation |
Objects of class "Figure" represent simple geometric bounded
subsets (such as rectangles, segments, point patterns) in spaces with
arbitrary dimensions. The subsets are defined up to a translation. See
extensions such as Quadrat, Segment or PointPattern.
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("Figure", ...).
dimspace:"numeric". Dimension
of the space containing the figure. For instance, 2 for a planar figure.coord:"matrix". Each column
contains the Cartesian coordinates of special points which define
the figure. For instance, the end of a segment starting at the origin.signature(x = "Figure", m = "matrix"):
ltransf for a figure.signature(x = "Figure", s = "numeric"):
scaling for a figure.
Objects of class "Figure" should not be created
directly. Use extensions (see below).
Extensions from Figure class: Quadrat-class,
Segment-class, PointPattern-class.
