Interactively select a polygon (grid graphics) and highlight points

Source: R/plot_and_get.R

Click the points that should be connected as polygon. Input ends with right click (see grid::grid.locator()). Polygon will be drawn closed.

map.sel.poly(data, pch = 19, size = 0.3, ...)

sel.poly(pch = 19, size = 0.3, ...)

Arguments

data

hyperSpec object for plotting map or list returned by plot_map()

pch

symbol to display the points of the polygon for sel.poly()

size

size for polygon point symbol for sel.poly()

...

further arguments for grid::grid.points() and grid::grid.lines()

Value

map.sel.poly: array of indices for points within the selected polygon

sel.poly: n x 2 matrix with the corner points of the polygon

Details

map.sel.poly is a convenience wrapper for plot_map(), sel.poly, and sp::point.in.polygon(). For customized plotting, the plot can be produced by plot_map(), plot_voronoi() or levelplot(), and the result of that plot command handed over to map.sel.poly, see the example below.

If even more customized plotting is required,sel.poly should be used (see example).
