grow.rectangle: Add margins to rectangle

Description

Adds a margin to a rectangle.

Usage

grow.rectangle(W, xmargin=0, ymargin=xmargin, fraction=NULL)

Arguments

W

A window (object of class "owin"). Must be of type "rectangle".

xmargin

Width of horizontal margin to be added. A single nonnegative number, or a vector of length 2 indicating margins of unequal width at left and right.

ymargin

Height of vertical margin to be added. A single nonnegative number, or a vector of length 2 indicating margins of unequal width at bottom and top.

fraction

Fraction of width and height to be added. A number greater than zero, or a numeric vector of length 2 indicating different fractions of width and of height, respectively. Incompatible with specifying xmargin and ymargin.

Value

Another object of class "owin" representing the window after margins are added.

Details

This is a simple convenience function to add a margin of specified width and height on each side of a rectangular window. Unequal margins can also be added.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
  w <- square(10)
  # add a margin of width 1 on all four sides
  square12 <- grow.rectangle(w, 1)

  # add margin of width 3 on the right side
  # and margin of height 4 on top.
  v <- grow.rectangle(w, c(0,3), c(0,4))

  # grow by 5 percent on all sides
  grow.rectangle(w, fraction=0.05)
# }
