Package 'polymer'

Title: Flexible and Intuitive Overlay Methods
Description: General intersections via a triangle pool from disparate polygon inputs. Overlap is determined via finite-element decomposition of all component edges in all inputs into triangles. Then triangles instances are classified (by point-in-polygon lookup) by objects within layers.

Polymer

Description

Find overlapping polygons regions by converting a collection of sf data frame polygon layers to a single pool of triangles. The pool is used for subsequent queries, what layers intersect and how, maintaining links to input data of all layers.


Simple data examples

Description

A, B, C are three partially overlaying polygon layers with different sets of attributes.


data

Description

Data from online discussion.


N intersections

Description

Find all fragments that are intersected by any other feature in any layer.

Usage

layer_n(x, n = 2, ..., keep_index = FALSE)

Arguments

x

polymer

n

minimum number of intersections to keep

...

ignored for now

keep_index

for expert use only, maintains the list of triangle indexes on the sf output (and sf cannot plot if that is present)

Details

Returns a simple features data frame with all triangles that occur n times with n = 2 as a minimum. Each triangle feature contains a nested data frame in idx that keeps the links to the input layers by layer, object and path.

Value

sf data frame

Examples

library(sf)
plot(A["layer"], reset = TRUE)
plot(B, add = TRUE, col = "hotpink")
plot(C, add = TRUE, col = "firebrick")

sb <- polymer(A, B, C)
plot(layer_n(sb), add = TRUE, col = "grey")
plot(layer_n(sb, n = 3), add = TRUE, col = "dodgerblue")

Plot polymer

Description

The default plot shows only the mesh. If show_intersection = TRUE, the part of the mesh that has 2 intersecting regions or more is contrasted to the rest.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'polymer'
plot(x, ..., show_intersection = FALSE)

Arguments

x

polymer

...

arguments to polypath

show_intersection

logical, plot the intersection region contrasted to the pool (default FALSE)

Value

the input, invisibly

Examples

plot(polymer(A, B, C))
library(sf)
example(st_read)
nc <- nc[1:5, ]
x <- polymer(nc, st_jitter(nc, amount = 0.1))
plot(x)

Polymer

Description

Convert a collection of sf data frame polygon layers to a single pool of triangles.

Usage

polymer(...)

Arguments

...

sf polygon data frame inputs

Details

Each triangle is identified by which path in the inputs it belongs to. None of this is very useable yet. Holes can be identified but aren't at the moment, any path that is a hole is identified per triangle.

input is a list with all input objects primitives is the triangulation object geometry_map is the paths with their row count index is the mapping between triangle and path/s

Value

a polymer, see details

Examples

polymer(A, B, C)

Print polymer

Description

Print a short description of the polymer contents.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'polymer'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x

polymer

...

ignored

Value

x invisibly

Examples

polymer(A, B, C)
