nb2nb_order: A function to order the elements of the m_i-subrrounds

Description

An auxiliary function. In the case of obtaining the list of neighbors of class nb or poly2nb, it is necessary to reorder the elements based on distance and/or angle.

Usage

nb2nb_order(listw = listw, sf = NULL)

Value

An object of the nb class with the elements in order.

Arguments

listw

an object of the nb class.

sf

the sf object used to get the listw .

# With a sf object (irregular lattice)

# With a sf object (regular lattice: hexagons)

hexs.sf <- sf::st_sf(hexs)
listw  <- spdep::poly2nb(as(hexs.sf, "Spatial"), queen = FALSE)
listw.order <- nb2nb_order(listw = listw, sf = hexs.sf)
