headtail: First or Last Part of a Spatial Pattern

Description

Returns the first few elements (head) or the last few elements (tail) of a spatial pattern.

Usage

# S3 method for ppp
head(x, n = 6L, …)
  # S3 method for ppx
head(x, n = 6L, …)
  # S3 method for psp
head(x, n = 6L, …)
  # S3 method for tess
head(x, n = 6L, …)
  # S3 method for ppp
tail(x, n = 6L, …)
  # S3 method for ppx
tail(x, n = 6L, …)
  # S3 method for psp
tail(x, n = 6L, …)
  # S3 method for tess
tail(x, n = 6L, …)

Arguments

x

A spatial pattern of geometrical figures, such as a spatial pattern of points (an object of class "ppp", "pp3", "ppx" or "lpp") or a spatial pattern of line segments (an object of class "psp") or a tessellation (object of class "tess").

n

Integer. The number of elements of the pattern that should be extracted.

…

Ignored.

Value

An object of the same class as x.

Details

These are methods for the generic functions head and tail. They extract the first or last n elements from x and return them as an object of the same kind as x.

To inspect the spatial coordinates themselves, use View(x) or head(as.data.frame(x)).
