sampSurf (version 0.7-6)

fullChainSawIZ-class: Class "fullChainSawIZ"

Description

This class holds the inclusion zone definition for the full ‘chainsaw’ method (Gove and Van Deusen, 2011) for sampling down coarse woody debris.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("fullChainSawIZ", ...). However, this is not recommended because the objects are fairly complex. Instead, one can use the object constructor fullChainSawIZ to create new objects.

Slots

This class is a direct subclass of “sausageIZ” and adds no new slots. Please see "'>sausageIZ" class definition for details.

Extends
