Details

The class "owin" is a way of specifying the observation window for a point pattern. See owin.object for an overview. This function converts data in any of several formats into an object of class "owin" for use by the spatstat package. The argument W may be

an object of class"owin"
a structure with entriesxrange,yrangespecifying the$x$and$y$dimensions of a rectangle
a four-element vector (interpreted as(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)) specifying the$x$and$y$dimensions of a rectangle
a structure with entriesxl,xu,yl,yuspecifying the$x$and$y$dimensions of a rectangle as(xmin, xmax) = (xl, xu)and(ymin, ymax) = (yl, yu). This will accept objects of classsppused in the Venables and Ripleyspatiallibrary.
an object of class"gpc.poly"from thegpclibpackage, representing a polygonal window.
an object of class"ppp"representing a point pattern. In this case, the object'swindowstructure will be extracted.
an object of class"psp"representing a line segment pattern. In this case, the object'swindowstructure will be extracted.
an object of class"tess"representing a tessellation. In this case, the object'swindowstructure will be extracted.
an object of class"quad"representing a quadrature scheme. In this case, the window of thedatacomponent will be extracted.
an object of class"im"representing a pixel image. In this case, a window of type"mask"will be returned, with the same pixel raster coordinates as the image. An image pixel value ofNA, signifying that the pixel lies outside the window, is transformed into the logical valueFALSE, which is the corresponding convention for window masks.
an object of class"ppm"or"kppm"representing a fitted point process model. In this case,as.owinextracts the original point pattern data to which the model was fitted, and returns the observation window of this point pattern.
an object of class"lppm"representing a fitted point process model on a linear network. In this case,as.owinextracts the linear network and returns a window containing this network.
Adata.framewith exactly three columns. Each row of the data frame corresponds to one pixel. Each row contains the$x$and$y$coordinates of a pixel, and a logical value indicating whether the pixel lies inside the window.
an object of class"distfun","nnfun"or"funxy"representing a function of spatial location, defined on a spatial domain. The spatial domain of the function will be extracted.
an object of class"rmhmodel"representing a point process model that can be simulated usingrmh. The window (spatial domain) of the model will be extracted. The window may beNULLin some circumstances (indicating that the simulation window has not yet been determined). This is not treated as an error, because the argumentfataldefaults toFALSEfor this method.

If the argument W is not in one of these formats and cannot be converted to a window, then an error will be generated (if fatal=TRUE) or a value of NULL will be returned (if fatal=FALSE).

The function as.owin is generic, with methods for "owin", "im" and "ppp" as well as the default method.

Value

An object of class "owin" (see owin.object) specifying an observation window.

Examples

w <- as.owin(c(0,1,0,1))
 w <- as.owin(list(xrange=c(0,5),yrange=c(0,10)))
 # point pattern
 data(demopat)
 w <- as.owin(demopat)
 # image
 Z <- as.im(function(x,y) { x + 3}, unit.square())
 w <- as.owin(Z)

 # Venables & Ripley 'spatial' package
 require(spatial)
 towns <- ppinit("towns.dat")
 w <- as.owin(towns)
 detach(package:spatial)
