## Diameter of an Object

### Description

Computes the diameter of an object such as a two-dimensional window or three-dimensional box.

### Usage

     diameter(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A window or other object whose diameter will be computed.

### Details

This function computes the diameter of an object such as a two-dimensional window or a three-dimensional box. The diameter is the maximum distance between any two points in the object.

The function `diameter` is generic, with methods for the class `"owin"` (two-dimensional windows), `"box3"` (three-dimensional boxes), `"boxx"` (multi-dimensional boxes) and `"linnet"` (linear networks).

### Value

The numerical value of the diameter of the object.
