edit.nb

Interactive editing of neighbours lists

Description

The function provides simple interactive editing of neighbours lists to allow unneeded links to be deleted, and missing links to be inserted. It uses identify to pick the endpoints of the link to be deleted or added, and asks for confirmation before committing. If the result is not assigned to a new object, the editing will be lost - as in edit.

This method relies on direct contact with the graphics device. Do not use in RStudio.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'nb'
edit(name, coords, polys=NULL, ..., use_region.id=FALSE)

Arguments

`name`	an object of class `nb`
`coords`	matrix of region point coordinates; if missing and polys= inherits from `SpatialPolygons`, the label points of that object are used
`polys`	if polygon boundaries supplied, will be used as background; must inherit from `SpatialPolygons`
`...`	further arguments passed to or from other methods
`use_region.id`	default `FALSE`, in `identify` use 1-based observation numbers, otherwise use the `nb` `region.id` attribute values

Value

The function returns an object of class nb with the edited list of integer vectors containing neighbour region number ids, with added attributes tallying the added and deleted links.
