I'm making some illustrations and it would be convenient to automatically shade the overlapping portions of circles. These illustrations are for Social Choice theory, a field in political science and economics. I've wrestled together some examples so you can see what I mean, but have not mastered the "color overlapping sections" problem (as you will see):

Hi, I seek to identify those points in/outside a multidimensional convex hull (geometry::convhulln). Any suggestions? Background just in case I'm going down a really wrong road: Given an observed data set with one dependent/observed variable (Y) and multiple (3 to 10) independent/design variables (X1, X2, ...) I want to increase the number of points by interpolating. I'm using

Dear UseRs, I would like to know which function is the most efficient in finding convex hull of points in 3(or 2)-dimensional case? Functions for finding convex hull is the following: convex.hull (tripack), chull (grDevices), in.chull (sgeostat), convhulln (geometry), convexhull.xy (spatstat), calcConvexHull (PBSmapping). I also would like to know if there is a function that can be used

Dear R gurus and users, I seem to have problem finding the right tool for plotting convex hulls over 2D plots, after a cluster analysis. In fact I would like to draw a convex hull in 2D for a generic group of points. I found a "convhulln", but this doesn't seem to give me a convex hull. Here is what I do: > library(mvtnorm) > Mean <- c(2,1) > Sigma <-

I am running the following code (testing the use of the simplex function to determine if a point is in the convex hull of another set of points or not): >a <- c(0, 0) >A3 <-matrix(c(1,2,3,4,1,1), ncol = 2, byrow = T) >b3 <-c(1.5, 3.5, 1) >simplex(a = a, A3 = A3, b3 = b3) and the following error message appears: Error in simplex1(out1$a[1:(n + m1 + m2)], out1$A[, 1:(n + m1

Sorry, I did not make my question clear. Since I have a point theme with many points, some of them may clump together. the problems here are: 1. how to find clumps in a point theme? 2. the convex-hull extension I found only deal with all the points in a theme at each time? how to make each convex hull around each point clump automatically? Thanks. Xiaohua On 5/12/06, Bob Booth <bbooth

Dear List Members, I'm presently carrying out morphological analysis of a data set of neuronal structures. These are essentially 3D binary trees. In due course I will be trying to use discriminant analysis or other methods to classify these neurons based on morphological variables such as total tree length, segment number etc. I would like to calculate a 3D convex hull for a set of X,Y,Z

Hi there, I have been using the Tps function (within the Fields package) for a while now to interpolate different sedimentary units. Due to the method of formation of the units I know that at some edges the thickness of the unit decreases to zero. I was wondering if there was someway to specify that the interpolation only occurs within the convex hull of the data, outside of which the the values

Hi all, I want to approximate te shape of an area defined by a set of points. The convex hull is not good enough, but I think that an alpha shape would be fine. I did an RSiteSearch(), google search, RSeek.org search, looked at the CRAN Views, but was unable do find a function in R that computes the alpha shape. Does anyone know if there is such a function in R? Theank you very much. Moacir

Does anyone know of a R package that will determine the convex hull of a high-dimensional dataset (say 4-10 dimensions). I know chull works for 2D data. I'm neophyte to R and convex hulls so please keep it simple. Many thanks Ben -- Ben Stapley. Biomolecular Sciences, UMIST, PO Box 88, Manchester M60 1QD. Tel 0161 200 5818 Fax 0161 236 0409

Full_Name: Jonathan Lees Version: 2.0.1 OS: linux-gnu Submission from: (NULL) (152.2.75.65) there is a problem with calculating the convex hull in 2-D interpolation using the codes interp fromt eh akima package: x =c(0.6505304, -1.1821562, -0.2600792, 0.7913716) y = c(1.0424226, 0.1754048, -1.4523334, 0.2349112) z = c(0.000, 3.042, 0.370, 0.122) EX = seq(from=min(x), to=max(x),

Before coding this in C, I wanted to test the idea out in R. But I'm unsure if the theory is well-founded. I have a (user-supplied) black-box function which takes R^n -> R^3 and a defined domain for each of the input reals. I want to send some samples through the box to determine an approximation of the convex hull of the function's range. (I'll use the library from

Dear list, Does anyone have a suggestion (or better still) code for sampling from the uniform distribution over the convex hull of a set of points? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

Hi everyone, I wonder if there is a code in r that can generate a 3d convex hull from a data-frame containing 3 columns and then use another database with the same three columns and for each row determine if the xyz point is inside or not the convex hull generated with the first database? The package geometry allows to calculate a hull and it's volume. I was planning to calculate the volume

I am modeling a trend surface using trmat and want to trim the resulting matrix to the area enclosed by my real data (i.e., remove all the extrapolated areas). I was using chull and in.chull to calculate the convex hull and change all the other values created by trmat to NA. However, my real data has portions that are slightly concave so chull would give me slivers that are extrapolations from

Hi everyone, Using a simulation, I have to find what are the probabilities that, in a square region, the convex hull is a triangle, using the "chull" function. However, I have a hard time with the chull function, i did not see many examples in which the chull function is used. I searched a long time on google, but I did not find nothing. So, if anyone can help, Thanks!

Hi there dear R users! Anyone knows why does matchit function returns error whenever the "hull" option is used (either "hull.both", "hull.control" or "hull.treat"). Things work well with all the rest of discard options. This is the error msg. >m.out.base <- matchit(formula=f, data=d, method=m, discard="hull.control") [1]

Does anybody know if there are functions to: 1. Define a convex hull on a space with more than 2 dimensions? chull just works for a plane. 2. Numerically select elements within a given complex hull.

Hello, I have a x,y,z file.Z is not corresponding to a simple analytical function of x and y (see below). I am trying to find the minimum location of this surface and the z value corresponding to this location by a spline interpolation or from a polynomial fit. I tried with the akima package but as the location of the point I am looking for (the minimum) is outside of the convex hull it's

I have a problem with function 'inout()' in package 'splancs' on CRAN-R Version 1.2.3 under FreeBSD4.3-STABLE. The following script produces and draws points and a polygon-surrounded area. Repeating the same script many times shows, that points on the polygon-line often, but not always, are outside of the polygon-area. library(splancs) # dataset with polygon (convex
