rpoislinetess
Poisson Line Tessellation
Generate a tessellation delineated by the lines of the Poisson line process
Usage
rpoislinetess(lambda, win = owin())Arguments
- lambda
Intensity of the Poisson line process. A positive number.
- win
Window in which to simulate the pattern. An object of class
"owin"or something acceptable toas.owin. Currently, the window must be a rectangle.
Details
This algorithm generates a realisation
of the uniform Poisson line process, and divides the window
win into tiles separated by these lines.
The argument lambda must be a positive number.
It controls the intensity of the process. The expected number of
lines intersecting a convex region of the plane is equal to
lambda times the perimeter length of the region.
The expected total length of the lines crossing a region of the plane
is equal to lambda * pi times the area of the region.
Value
A tessellation (object of class "tess").
Also has an attribute "lines" containing the realisation of the
Poisson line process, as an object of class "infline".

rpoisline
to generate the lines only.
Examples
# NOT RUN {
X <- rpoislinetess(3)
plot(as.im(X), main="rpoislinetess(3)")
plot(X, add=TRUE)
# }
