rescue.rectangle: Convert Window Back To Rectangle

Description

Determines whether the given window is really a rectangle aligned with the coordinate axes, and if so, converts it to a rectangle object.

Usage

rescue.rectangle(W)

Arguments

W
A window (object of class "owin").

Value

  • Another object of class "owin" representing the same window.

Details

This function decides whether the window W is actually a rectangle aligned with the coordinate axes. This will be true if W is
  • a rectangle (window object of type"rectangle");
  • a polygon (window object of type"polygonal"with a single polygonal boundary) that is a rectangle aligned with the coordinate axes;
  • a binary mask (window object of type"mask") in which all the pixel entries areTRUE.
If so, the function returns this rectangle, a window object of type "rectangle". If not, the function returns W.

w <- owin(poly=list(x=c(0,1,1,0),y=c(0,0,1,1)))
  rw <- rescue.rectangle(w)

  w <- as.mask(unit.square())
  rw <- rescue.rectangle(w)
