Set operations on neighborhood objects

Set operations on neighbors list objects

Usage

intersect.nb(nb.obj1,nb.obj2)
union.nb(nb.obj1,nb.obj2)
setdiff.nb(nb.obj1,nb.obj2)
complement.nb(nb.obj)

Arguments

nb.obj: a neighbor list created from any of the neighborhood list funtions
nb.obj1: a neighbor list created from any of the neighborhood list funtions
nb.obj2: a neighbor list created from any of the neighborhood list funtions

Details

These functions perform set operations on each element of a neighborlist. The arguments must be neighbor lists created from the same coordinates, and the region.id attributes must be identical.

Value

nb.obj: A new neighborlist created from the set operations on the input neighbor list(s)
