adjacency_matrix: Adjacency matrix

Description

Create a matrix showing which planning units are spatially adjacent to each other. Note that this also include planning units that overlap with each other too.

Usage

adjacency_matrix(x, ...)
# S3 method for Raster
adjacency_matrix(x, directions = 4L, ...)
# S3 method for SpatialPolygons
adjacency_matrix(x, ...)
# S3 method for SpatialLines
adjacency_matrix(x, ...)
# S3 method for SpatialPoints
adjacency_matrix(x, ...)
# S3 method for sf
adjacency_matrix(x, ...)
# S3 method for default
adjacency_matrix(x, ...)

Arguments

x

'>Raster, '>SpatialPolygons, '>SpatialLines, or sf::sf() object representing planning units.

...

not used.

directions

integer If x is a '>Raster object, the number of directions in which cells should be considered adjacent: 4 (rook's case), 8 (queen's case), 16 (knight and one-cell queen moves), or "bishop" to for cells with one-cell diagonal moves.

Value

'>dsCMatrix sparse symmetric matrix. Each row and column represents a planning unit. Cells values indicate if different planning units are adjacent to each other or not (using ones and zeros). To reduce computational burden, cells among the matrix diagonal are set to zero. Furthermore, if the argument to x is a '>Raster object, then cells with NA values are set to zero too.

Notes

In earlier versions (< 5.0.0), this function was named as the connected_matrix function. It has been renamed to be consistent with other spatial association matrix functions.

Details

Spatial processing is completed using sf::st_intersects() for '>Spatial and sf::sf() objects, and raster::adjacent() for '>Raster objects.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# load data
data(sim_pu_raster, sim_pu_sf, sim_pu_lines)

# create adjacency matrix using raster data
## crop raster to 9 cells
r <- crop(sim_pu_raster, c(0, 0.3, 0, 0.3))

## make adjacency matrix
am_raster <- adjacency_matrix(r)

# create adjacency matrix using polygons (sf) data
## subset 9 polygons
ply <- sim_pu_sf[c(1:2, 10:12, 20:22), ]

## make adjacency matrix
am_ply <- adjacency_matrix(ply)

# create adjacency matrix using lines (Spatial) data
## subset 9 lines
lns <- sim_pu_lines[c(1:2, 10:12, 20:22), ]

## make adjacency matrix
am_lns <- adjacency_matrix(lns)

# plot data and the adjacency matrices
# }
# NOT RUN {
par(mfrow = c(4,2))

## plot raster and adjacency matrix
plot(r, main = "raster", axes = FALSE, box = FALSE)
plot(raster(as.matrix(am_raster)), main = "adjacency matrix", axes = FALSE,
     box = FALSE)

## plot polygons (sf) and adjacency matrix
plot(r, main = "polygons (sf)", axes = FALSE, box = FALSE)
plot(raster(as.matrix(am_ply)), main = "adjacency matrix", axes = FALSE,
    box = FALSE)

## plot lines (Spatial) and adjacency matrix
plot(r, main = "lines (Spatial)", axes = FALSE, box = FALSE)
plot(raster(as.matrix(am_lns)), main = "adjacency matrix", axes = FALSE,
     box = FALSE)
