area.owin

Area of a Window

Computes the area of a window

Usage

area(w)
 # S3 method for owin
area(w)
 # S3 method for default
area(w)
 # S3 method for owin
volume(x)

Details

If the window w is of type "rectangle" or "polygonal", the area of this rectangular window is computed by analytic geometry. If w is of type "mask" the area of the discrete raster approximation of the window is computed by summing the binary image values and adjusting for pixel size.

The function volume.owin is identical to area.owin except for the argument name. It is a method for the generic function volume.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  w <- unit.square()
  area(w)
       # returns 1.00000

  k <- 6
  theta <- 2 * pi * (0:(k-1))/k
  co <- cos(theta)
  si <- sin(theta)
  mas <- owin(c(-1,1), c(-1,1), poly=list(x=co, y=si))
  area(mas)
      # returns approx area of k-gon
  
  mas <- as.mask(square(2), eps=0.01)
  X <- raster.x(mas)
  Y <- raster.y(mas)
  mas$m <- ((X - 1)^2 + (Y - 1)^2 <= 1)
  area(mas)
       # returns 3.14 approx     

# }
