Compute the union of intervals in one or more interval matrices. The
intervals contained in a single interval matrix object need not, in
general, be disjoint; interval_union, however, always returns a
matrix with sorted, disjoint intervals.
# S4 method for Intervals_virtual
interval_union(x, ..., check_valid = TRUE)# S4 method for missing
interval_union(x, ..., check_valid = TRUE)
An "Intervals" or "Intervals_full" object.
Optionally, additional objects which can be combined with
x. See c.Intervals for details on mixing
different types of objects.
Should validObject be called before passing to
compiled code? Also see interval_overlap.
A single object of appropriate class, compactly representing the union
of all intervals in x, and optionally, in ... as
well. For class "Intervals", the result will have the same
closed values as x.
All supplied objects are combined using c
and then then passed to reduce. The missing
method is only to permit use of do.call with named list,
since no named element will typically match x.
See reduce, which is used to produce the results.
