R: Multi-Dimensional Box

boxx {spatstat.geom} | R Documentation

## Multi-Dimensional Box

### Description

Creates an object representing a multi-dimensional box.

### Usage

    boxx(..., unitname = NULL)

### Arguments

`...` | Dimensions of the box. Vectors of length 2.
`unitname` | Optional. Name of the unit of length. See Details.

### Details

This function creates an object representing a multi-dimensional rectangular parallelepiped (box) with sides parallel to the coordinate axes.

The object can be used to specify the domain of a multi-dimensional point pattern (see `ppx`) and in various geometrical calculations (see `volume.boxx`, `diameter.boxx`, `eroded.volumes`).

The optional argument `unitname` specifies the name of the unit of length. See `unitname` for valid formats.

### Value

An object of class `"boxx"`. There is a print method for this class.
