Fmgrid: Generate a grid of points

Description

Function to generate points on a grid. Points are assembled in an $n \times 2$ matrix with NA's separating series of vertical and horizontal lines in the grid.

Usage

Fmgrid(xlim, ylim, xn = 8, xspace, xres, yn = 8, yspace, yres)

Arguments

xlim
range in x-axis
ylim
range in y-axis
xn, yn
the number of vertical and horizontal lines, respectively. This parameter is overridden by xspace and yspace if specified.
xspace, yspace
the distance between successive vertical and horizontal lines, respectively
xres, yres
the distance between points generated along horizontal and vertical lines, respectively; if xres and yres are not specified, then points are generated only at the nodes of intersection of the vertical and horizontal lines. Note that these nodes appear in duplicate as sequences of points are generated first for the vertical lines and then for the horizontal lines.

Value

A list containing the following named components:
grid
coordinates of grid points
rl.ind
Indicator of points generated from vertical or horizontal line
