R: Intersect Infinite Straight Lines with a Window

clip.infline {spatstat} | R Documentation

## Intersect Infinite Straight Lines with a Window

### Description

Take the intersection between a set of infinite straight lines and a window, yielding a set of line segments.

### Usage

    clip.infline(L, win)

### Arguments

`L` | Object of class `"infline"` specifying a set of infinite straight lines in the plane.
`win` | Window (object of class `"owin"`).

### Details

This function computes the intersection between a set of infinite straight lines in the plane (stored in an object `L` of class `"infline"` created by the function `infline`) and a window `win`. The result is a pattern of line segments. Each line segment carries a mark indicating which line it belongs to.

### Value

A line segment pattern (object of class `"psp"`) with a single column of marks.

To divide a window into pieces using infinite lines, use `chop.tess`.

### Examples

      L <- infline(p=1:3, theta=pi/4)
      W <- square(4)
      clip.infline(L, W)
