SpatialMultiPoints-class

Class "SpatialMultiPoints"

Description

Class for (irregularly spaced) MultiPoints

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form SpatialPoints(x).

Slots

coords:: Object of class "list", containing the coordinates of point sets (each list element is a matrix)
bbox:: Object of class "matrix", with bounding box
proj4string:: Object of class "CRS", projection string

Extends

Class "Spatial", directly.

Methods

[: signature(x = "SpatialMultiPoints"): subsets point sets
coerce: signature(from = "SpatialPoints", to = "data.frame"): coerce to data.frame
coordinates: signature(obj = "SpatialMultiPoints"): retrieves all the coordinates, as one single matrix
plot: signature(x = "SpatialPoints", y = "missing"): plot points
summary: signature(object = "SpatialPoints"): summarize object
points: signature(x = "SpatialPoints"): add point symbols to plot
show: signature(object = "SpatialPoints"): prints coordinates
rbind: signature(object = "SpatialPoints"): rbind-like method

plot method arguments

The plot method for “SpatialPoints” objects takes the following arguments:

x: object of class SpatialPoints
pch: default 3; either an integer specifying a symbol or a single character to be used as the default in plotting points
axes: default FALSE; a logical value indicating whether both axes should be drawn
add: default FALSE; add to existing plot
xlim: default NULL; the x limits (x1, x2) of the plot
ylim: default NULL; the y limits of the plot
...: passed through
setParUsrBB: default FALSE; set the par “usr” bounding box, see note in Spatial-class
cex: default 1; numerical value giving the amount by which plotting text and symbols should be magnified relative to the default
col: default 1; default plotting color
lwd: default 1; line width
bg: default 1; colour to be used for the background of the device region

Examples

cl1 = cbind(rnorm(3, 10), rnorm(3, 10))
cl2 = cbind(rnorm(5, 10), rnorm(5,  0))
cl3 = cbind(rnorm(7,  0), rnorm(7, 10))

mp = SpatialMultiPoints(list(cl1, cl2, cl3))
plot(mp, col = 2, cex = 1, pch = 1:3)
mp
mp[1:2]

print(mp, asWKT=TRUE, digits=3)
