) as described under
tess
.X
is a rectangle, it is divided into
an nx * ny
grid of rectangular tiles or `quadrats'. If X
is not a rectangle, then the bounding rectangle of
X
is first divided into an nx * ny
grid of rectangular
tiles, and these tiles are then intersected with the window X
.
The resulting tiles are returned as a tessellation (object of class
"tess"
) which can be plotted and used in other analyses.
If xbreaks
is given, it should be a numeric vector
giving the $x$ coordinates of the quadrat boundaries.
If it is not given, it defaults to a
sequence of nx+1
values equally spaced
over the range of $x$ coordinates in the window X$window
.
Similarly if ybreaks
is given, it should be a numeric
vector giving the $y$ coordinates of the quadrat boundaries.
It defaults to a vector of ny+1
values
equally spaced over the range of $y$ coordinates in the window.
The lengths of xbreaks
and ybreaks
may be different.
By default (if keepempty=FALSE
), any rectangular tile which
does not intersect the window X
is
ignored, and only the non-empty intersections are treated as quadrats,
so the tessellation may consist of fewer than nx * ny
tiles.
If keepempty=TRUE
, empty intersections are retained,
and the tessellation always contains exactly nx * ny
tiles,
some of which may be empty.
