spatial.to.ppp: Convert SpatialPoints and boundary polygon to spatstat ppp object

Description

Spatstat point pattern objects consist of points and an observation windows. This function uses a SpatialPoints object and a SpatialPolygon object to generate the points and the window. Lastly, the ppp() function is called to create the ppp object.

Usage

spatial.to.ppp(points, samplers)

Value

A spatstat spatstat

ppp object

Arguments

points

A SpatialPoints[DataFrame] object describing the point pattern.

samplers

A SpatialPolygons[DataFrame] object describing the observation window.

Examples

# \donttest{
if (require("spatstat.geom") &&
  bru_safe_sp() &&
  require("sp")) {
  # Load Gorilla data

  data("gorillas", package = "inlabru")

  # Use nest locations and survey boundary to create a spatstat ppp object

  gp <- spatial.to.ppp(gorillas$nests, gorillas$boundary)
  class(gp)

  # Plot it

  plot(gp)
}
# }
