Each line segment in X
will be subdivided into equal pieces.
The result is an object of the same kind as X
, representing the
same data as X
except that the segments have been subdivided. Splitting is controlled by the arguments nsplit
and eps
,
exactly one of which should be given.
If nsplit
is given, it specifies the
number of pieces into which each line segment of X
should be divided. It should be either a single integer, or an integer vector
of length equal to the number of line segments in X
.
If eps
is given, it specifies the maximum length of
any resulting piece of line segment.
It is strongly advisable to use sparse=TRUE
(the default)
to limit the computation time.
If X
is a point pattern (class "lpp"
) then the
spatial coordinates and marks of each data point are unchanged, but the
local coordinates will change, because they are
adjusted to map them to the new subdivided network.
