inhulln: Test if points lie in convex hull

Description

Tests if a set of points lies within a convex hull, returning a boolean vector in which each element is TRUE if the corresponding point lies within the hull and FALSE if it lies outwith the hull or on one of its facets.

Usage

inhulln(ch, p)

Arguments

ch

Convex hull produced using convhulln

p

An $M$-by-$N$ matrix of points to test. The rows of p represent $M$ points in $N$-dimensional space.

Value

A boolean vector with $M$ elements

Examples

# NOT RUN {
p <- cbind(c(-1, -1, 1), c(-1, 1, -1))
ch <- convhulln(p)
## First point should be in the hull; last two outside
inhulln(ch, rbind(c(-0.5, -0.5),
                  c( 1  ,  1),
                  c(10  ,  0)))

## Test hypercube
p <- rbox(D=4, B=1)
ch <- convhulln(p)
tp <-  cbind(seq(-1.9, 1.9, by=0.2), 0, 0, 0)
pin <- inhulln(ch, tp)
## Points on x-axis should be in box only betw,een -1 and 1
pin == (tp[,1] < 1 & tp[,1] > -1)
