graph_plan: Create a graph with a minimum planar graph topology
Description
The function constructs a graph with a minimum planar
graph topology
Usage
graph_plan(crds, ID = NULL, x = NULL, y = NULL, weight = TRUE)
Value
A planar graph of class igraph
Arguments
crds
A data.frame with the spatial
coordinates of the point set (the graph nodes). It must have three columns:
ID: A character string indicating the name of the points(graph nodes).
x: A numeric or integer indicating the longitude of the graph nodes.
y: A numeric or integer indicating the latitude of the graph nodes.
ID
A character string indicating the name of the column
of crds with the point IDs
x
A character string indicating the name of the column
of crds with the point longitude
y
A character string indicating the name of the column
of crds with the point latitude
weight
A character string indicating whether the links of
the graph are weighted by Euclidean distances (TRUE)(default) or not (FALSE).
When the graph links do not have weights in Euclidean distances, each link
is given a weight of 1.

Details
A delaunay triangulation is performed in order to get the
planar graph.
