Details

This function identifies the PolySet's extra columns and determines if those columns contain unique values for each (PID, SID). Where they do, the (PID, SID) will appear in the PolyData output with that unique value. Where they do not, the extra column will contain NAs for that (PID, SID).

Examples

local(envir=.PBSmapEnv,expr={
  #--- create a PolySet with an extra column
  polys <- data.frame(PID = c(rep(1, 10), rep(2, 10)),
    POS = c(1:10, 1:10),
    X = c(rep(1, 10), rep(1, 10)),
    Y = c(rep(1, 10), rep(1, 10)),
    colour = (c(rep("green", 10), rep("red", 10))))
  #--- extract the PolyData
  print(extractPolyData(polys))
})
