Hello R community, I have cross-posted with r-sig-geo as this issue could fall under either interest group I believe. I just came accross the alphahull package and am very pleased I may not need to use CGAL anymore for this purpose. However, I am having a problem computing alpha shapes with my point data, and it seems to have to do with the spatial configuration of my points (which form long, skinny, contiguous clusters). If I use rnorm to...

Dear R-helpers, thanks for yesterday's speeding-up tip. Here is my next query: I have lots of polygons (not necessarily convex ones, and they never have holes) given by x,y coordinates. I want to get the polygon that is the union of these polygons. This is my current method, but I am hoping there is a faster method (up to thousands of polygons, each with ca. 40 xy points). Example:

Hi all Does anyone know if there are any R packages available for creating UML class and object diagrams in R (suitable for use with Latex)? I'm considering developing such a system... Note, I'm aware there are Latex packages (so no one needs to state the obvious). On a side issue I'm thinking about (mostly) abandoning the class system I mentioned earlier. Thank you to Martin
