An object of class "linfun"
represents
a function defined on a linear network.
The function as.linfun
is generic. The method as.linfun.linim
converts objects of class "linim"
(pixel images on a linear
network) to functions on the network.
The method as.linfun.lintess
converts a tessellation
on a linear network into a function with a different value
on each tile of the tessellation.
The function values are specified by the argument values
.
It should be a vector with one entry for each tile of the tessellation;
any point lying in tile number i
will return the value v[i]
.
If values
is missing, the marks of the tessellation
are taken as the function values.
If values
is missing and the tessellation has no marks,
or if values
is given as NULL
,
then the function returns factor values identifying which tile
contains each given point.
