Description

Computes the diameter of a window

Usage

diameter(w)

Arguments

w

A window, whose diameter will be computed.

Value

• The numerical value of the diameter of the window.

Details

This function computes the diameter of a window of arbitrary shape, i.e. the maximum distance between any two points in the window.

The argument w should be a window (an object of class "owin", see owin.object for details) or can be given in any format acceptable to as.owin().

w <- owin(c(0,1),c(0,1))
  diameter(w) 
  # returns sqrt(2)
  data(letterR)
  diameter(letterR)
