Generate a non-closed bounding polygon from the bounding box of an object
bboxx(obj)
A points data set of four points giving the non-closed coordinates of the bounding box
A matrix with two rows and two columns reporting the bounding box of an object
The object used by bboxx
may easily be created by using the sp bbox
method on an object of interest, such as a points data set.
