     ## S3 method for class 'owin'
    diameter(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A window whose diameter will be computed.

### Details

This function computes the diameter of a window of arbitrary shape, i.e. the maximum distance between any two points in the window.

The argument `x` should be a window (an object of class `"owin"`, see `owin.object` for details) or can be given in any format acceptable to `as.owin()`.

The function `diameter` is generic. This function is the method for the class `"owin"`.
