rescale.owin: Convert Window to Another Unit of Length

Description

Converts a window to another unit of length.

Usage

# S3 method for owin
rescale(X, s, unitname)

Value

Another window object (of class "owin") representing the same window, but expressed in the new units.

Arguments

X

Window (object of class "owin").

s

Conversion factor: the new units are s times the old units.

unitname

Optional. New name for the unit of length. See unitname.

Details

This is a method for the generic function rescale.

The spatial coordinates in the window X (and its window) will be re-expressed in terms of a new unit of length that is s times the current unit of length given in X. (Thus, the coordinate values are divided by s, while the unit value is multiplied by s).

The result is a window representing the same region of space, but re-expressed in a different unit.

If s is missing, then the coordinates will be re-expressed in ‘native’ units; for example if the current unit is equal to 0.1 metres, then the coordinates will be re-expressed in metres.

Examples

  W <- Window(swedishpines)
  W
# coordinates are in decimetres (0.1 metre)
# convert to metres:
  rescale(W, 10)
# or equivalently
  rescale(W)
