Determines whether a window is convex.
is.convex(x)
Window (object of class "owin"
).
Logical value, equal to TRUE
if x
is convex.
If x
is a rectangle, the result is TRUE.
If x
is polygonal, the result is TRUE if x
consists of a
single polygon and this polygon is equal to the minimal convex hull
of its vertices computed by chull
.
If x
is a mask, the algorithm first extracts all boundary
pixels of x
using vertices
. Then it computes
the (polygonal) convex hull \(K\) of the boundary pixels.
The result is TRUE if every boundary pixel lies within
one pixel diameter of an edge of \(K\).
