There is a boundary (tract 6878, corner 1, boundary 1) in the federal
database
for the 2012 survey that runs exactly through the plot. If that boundary
would be valid, at that corner the term "stand" is not defined.
A (possibly cleansed) data.frame containing boundaries.
Arguments
x
A data.frame containing boundaries.
It has to have columns named by the contents of
either get_defaults()[["boundaries"]] or getOption("treePlotArea")[["boundaries"]].
Could be
get(data("boundaries", package = "treePlotArea")).
stop_on_error
Throw an error if invalid boundaries are found?
clean_data
Get rid of invalid boundaries?
Details
So we check for such boundaries. These are straight boundaries with identical
azimuth values for start and end, and flexed boundaries where azimuth values
for either start or end and the azimuth value for the nook are identical and
the nook is farther away form the plot than the corresponding start or end.
