runifrect: Generate N Uniform Random Points in a Rectangle

Description

Generate a random point pattern, containing \(n\) independent uniform random points, inside a specified rectangle.

Usage

runifrect(n, win = owin(c(0, 1), c(0, 1)), nsim = 1, drop = TRUE)

Arguments

Value

A point pattern (an object of class "ppp") if nsim=1 and drop=TRUE, otherwise a list of point patterns.

Details

This function is a slightly faster version of runifpoint for the special case where the window is a rectangle.

The function generates n independent random points, uniformly distributed in the window win, by assigning uniform random values to the cartesian coordinates.

For normal usage we recommend runifpoint because it is more flexible. However, runifrect is slightly faster (when the window is a rectangle), and may be preferable in very computationally-demanding tasks.
