Indicate Polygons at the Border
Determines which polygons of a "SpatialPolygons"
object are at the border, i.e. have coordinates in common with the
spatial union of all polygons (constructed using
unionSpatialPolygons
).
polyAtBorder(SpP, snap = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps), method = "rgeos", ...)
SpP |
an object of class |
snap |
tolerance used to consider coordinates as identical. |
method |
method to use for |
... |
further arguments passed to the chosen |
logical vector of the same length as SpP
also inheriting its
row.names
.

## Load districts of Germany load(system.file("shapes", "districtsD.RData", package = "surveillance")) ## Determine districts at the border and check the result on the map if (requireNamespace("rgeos")) { atBorder <- polyAtBorder(districtsD, method = "rgeos") plot(districtsD, col = atBorder) } ## For method = "polyclip", a higher snapping tolerance is required ## to obtain the correct result if (requireNamespace("polyclip")) { atBorder <- polyAtBorder(districtsD, snap = 1e-6, method = "polyclip") plot(districtsD, col = atBorder) }
