Computes the length of each line segment
in a line segment pattern.
Usage
lengths.psp(x, squared=FALSE)
Arguments
x
A line segment pattern (object of class "psp").
squared
Logical value indicating whether to return
the squared lengths (squared=TRUE)
or the lengths themselves (squared=FALSE, the default).
Value
Numeric vector.
Details
The length of each line segment is computed
and the lengths are returned as a numeric vector.
Using squared lengths may be more efficient for some purposes,
for example, to find the length of the shortest segment,
sqrt(min(lengths.psp(x, squared=TRUE)))
is faster than min(lengths.psp(x)).
