gMinumumRotatedRectangle {rgeos} | R Documentation |
Returns the minimum rotated rectangular POLYGON which encloses the input geometry.
gMinumumRotatedRectangle(spgeom, byid=FALSE, id = NULL)
spgeom |
sp object as defined in package sp |
byid |
Logical determining if the function should be applied across subgeometries (TRUE) or the entire object (FALSE) |
id |
Character vector defining id labels for the resulting geometries, if unspecified returned geometries will be labeled based on their parent geometries' labels. |
Returns the minimum rotated rectangular POLYGON which encloses the input geometry. The rectangle has width equal to the minimum diameter, and a longer length. If the convex hill of the input is degenerate (a line or point) a LINESTRING or POINT is returned. The minimum rotated rectangle can be used as an extremely generalized representation for the given geometry.
