spacetime (version 1.2-3)

STTDF-class: Class "STTDF"

Description

A class for spatio-temporal trajectory data

Usage

# S4 method for STTDF,ltraj
coerce(from, to, strict=TRUE)
  # S4 method for ltraj,STTDF
coerce(from, to, strict=TRUE)

Arguments

from

from object

to

target class

strict

ignored

Objects from the Class

Objects of this class carry sparse (irregular) space/time data

Slots

sp:

Object of class "Spatial", containing the bounding box of all trajectories

time:

Object of class "xts", containing the temporal bounding box of all trajectories

traj:

Object of class list, each element holding an STI object reflecting a single trajectory;

data:

Object of class data.frame, which holds the data values for each feature in each trajectory

Methods

[

signature(x = "STTDF"): select trajectories, based on index, or spatial and/or temporal predicates

% \item{plot}{\code{signature(x = "Spatial", y = "missing")}: plot method % for spatial objects; does nothing but setting up a plotting region choosing % a suitable aspect if not given(see below), colouring the plot background using either a bg= argument or par("bg"), and possibly drawing axes. } % \item{summary}{\code{signature(object = "Spatial")}: summarize object}
