Package 'geometry' reference manual

Title:	Mesh Generation and Surface Tessellation
Description:	Makes the 'Qhull' library <http://www.qhull.org> available in R, in a similar manner as in Octave and MATLAB. Qhull computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. It runs in 2D, 3D, 4D, and higher dimensions. It implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. Qhull does not support constrained Delaunay triangulations, or mesh generation of non-convex objects, but the package does include some R functions that allow for this.

Conversion of Cartesian to Barycentric coordinates.

Description

Given the Cartesian coordinates of one or more points, compute the barycentric coordinates of these points with respect to a simplex.

Usage

cart2bary(X, P)
cart2bary(X, P)

Arguments

`X`	Reference simplex in $N$ dimensions represented by a $N+1$ -by- $N$ matrix
`P`	$M$ -by- $N$ matrix in which each row is the Cartesian coordinates of a point.

Details

Given a reference simplex in $N$ dimensions represented by a $N+1$ -by- $N$ matrix an arbitrary point $P$ in Cartesian coordinates, represented by a 1-by- $N$ row vector, can be written as

$P = \beta X$

where $\beta$ is an $N+1$ vector of the barycentric coordinates. A criterion on $\beta$ is that

$\sum_i\beta_i = 1$

Now partition the simplex into its first $N$ rows $X_N$ and its $N+1$ th row $X_{N+1}$ . Partition the barycentric coordinates into the first $N$ columns $\beta_N$ and the $N+1$ th column $\beta_{N+1}$ . This allows us to write

$P_{N+1} - X_{N+1} = \beta_N X_N + \beta_{N+1} X_{N+1} - X_{N+1}$

which can be written

$P_{N+1} - X_{N+1} = \beta_N(X_N - 1_N X_{N+1})$

where $1_N$ is an $N$ -by-1 matrix of ones. We can then solve for $\beta_N$ :

$\beta_N = (P_{N+1} - X_{N+1})(X_N - 1_N X_{N+1})^{-1}$

and compute

$\beta_{N+1} = 1 - \sum_{i=1}^N\beta_i$

This can be generalised for multiple values of $P$ , one per row.

Value

$M$ -by- $N+1$ matrix in which each row is the barycentric coordinates of corresponding row of P. If the simplex is degenerate a warning is issued and the function returns NULL.

Note

Based on the Octave function by David Bateman.

Compute smallest convex hull that encloses a set of points

Description

Returns information about the smallest convex complex of a set of input points in $N$ -dimensional space (the convex hull of the points). By default, indices to points forming the facets of the hull are returned; optionally normals to the facets and the generalised surface area and volume can be returned. This function interfaces the Qhull library.

Usage

convhulln(
  p,
  options = "Tv",
  output.options = NULL,
  return.non.triangulated.facets = FALSE
)
convhulln(
  p,
  options = "Tv",
  output.options = NULL,
  return.non.triangulated.facets = FALSE
)

Arguments

`p`	An $M$ -by- $N$ matrix. The rows of `p` represent $M$ points in $N$ -dimensional space.
`options`	String containing extra options for the underlying Qhull command; see details below and Qhull documentation at ../doc/qhull/html/qconvex.html#synopsis.
`output.options`	String containing Qhull options to generate extra output. Currently `n` (normals) and `FA` (generalised areas and volumes) are supported; see ‘Value’ for details. If `output.options` is `TRUE`, select all supported options.
`return.non.triangulated.facets`	logical defining whether the output facets should be triangulated; `FALSE` by default.

Value

By default (return.non.triangulated.facets is FALSE), return an $M$ -by- $N$ matrix in which each row contains the indices of the points in p forming an $N-1$ -dimensional facet. e.g In 3 dimensions, there are 3 indices in each row describing the vertices of 2-dimensional triangles.

If return.non.triangulated.facets is TRUE then the number of columns equals the maximum number of vertices in a facet, and each row defines a polygon corresponding to a facet of the convex hull with its vertices followed by NAs until the end of the row.

If the output.options or options argument contains FA or n, return a list with class convhulln comprising the named elements:

p: The points passed to convnhulln
hull: The convex hull, represented as a matrix indexing p, as described above
area: If FA is specified, the generalised area of the hull. This is the surface area of a 3D hull or the length of the perimeter of a 2D hull. See ../doc/qhull/html/qh-optf.html#FA.
vol: If FA is specified, the generalised volume of the hull. This is volume of a 3D hull or the area of a 2D hull. See ../doc/qhull/html/qh-optf.html#FA.
normals: If n is specified, this is a matrix hyperplane normals with offsets. See ../doc/qhull/html/qh-opto.html#n.

Note

This function was originally a port of the Octave convhulln function written by Kai Habel.

Delaunay triangulation in N dimensions

Description

The Delaunay triangulation is a tessellation of the convex hull of the points such that no $N$ -sphere defined by the $N$ - triangles contains any other points from the set.

Usage

delaunayn(p, options = NULL, output.options = NULL, full = FALSE)
delaunayn(p, options = NULL, output.options = NULL, full = FALSE)

Arguments

`p`	An $M$ -by- $N$ matrix whose rows represent $M$ points in $N$ -dimensional space.
`options`	String containing extra control options for the underlying Qhull command; see the Qhull documentation (../doc/qhull/html/qdelaun.html) for the available options. The `Qbb` option is always passed to Qhull. The remaining default options are `Qcc Qc Qt Qz` for $N<4$ and `Qcc Qc Qt Qx` for $N>=4$ . If neither of the `QJ` or `Qt` options are supplied, the `Qt` option is passed to Qhull. The `Qt` option ensures all Delaunay regions are simplical (e.g., triangles in 2D). See ../doc/qhull/html/qdelaun.html for more details. Contrary to the Qhull documentation, no degenerate (zero area) regions are returned with the `Qt` option since the R function removes them from the triangulation. If `options` is specified, the default options are overridden. It is recommended to use `output.options` for options controlling the outputs.
`output.options`	String containing Qhull options to control output. Currently `Fn` (neighbours) and `Fa` (areas) are supported. Causes an object of return value for details. If `output.options` is `TRUE`, select all supported options.
`full`	Deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Adds options `Fa` and `Fn`.

Value

If output.options is NULL (the default), return the Delaunay triangulation as a matrix with $M$ rows and $N+1$ columns in which each row contains a set of indices to the input points p. Thus each row describes a simplex of dimension $N$ , e.g. a triangle in 2D or a tetrahedron in 3D.

If the output.options argument is TRUE or is a string containing Fn or Fa, return a list with class delaunayn comprising the named elements:

tri: The Delaunay triangulation described above
areas: If TRUE or if Fa is specified, an $M$ -dimensional vector containing the generalised area of each simplex (e.g. in 2D the areas of triangles; in 3D the volumes of tetrahedra). See ../doc/qhull/html/qh-optf.html#Fa.
neighbours: If TRUE or if Fn is specified, a list of neighbours of each simplex. Note that a negative number corresponds to "facet" (="edge" in 2D or "face" in 3D) that has no neighbour, as will be the case for some simplices on the boundary of the triangulation. See ../doc/qhull/html/qh-optf.html#Fn

Note

This function interfaces the Qhull library and is a port from Octave (https://octave.org/) to R. Qhull computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. It runs in 2D, 3D, 4D, and higher dimensions. It implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. Qhull handles round-off errors from floating point arithmetic. It computes volumes, surface areas, and approximations to the convex hull. See the Qhull documentation included in this distribution (the doc directory ../doc/qhull/index.html).

Qhull does not support constrained Delaunay triangulations, triangulation of non-convex surfaces, mesh generation of non-convex objects, or medium-sized inputs in 9D and higher. A rudimentary algorithm for mesh generation in non-convex regions using Delaunay triangulation is implemented in distmesh2d (currently only 2D).

A simple mesh generator for non-convex regions

Description

An unstructured simplex requires a choice of mesh points (vertex nodes) and a triangulation. This is a simple and short algorithm that improves the quality of a mesh by relocating the mesh points according to a relaxation scheme of forces in a truss structure. The topology of the truss is reset using Delaunay triangulation. A (sufficiently smooth) user supplied signed distance function (fd) indicates if a given node is inside or outside the region. Points outside the region are projected back to the boundary.

Usage

distmesh2d(
  fd,
  fh,
  h0,
  bbox,
  p = NULL,
  pfix = array(0, dim = c(0, 2)),
  ...,
  dptol = 0.001,
  ttol = 0.1,
  Fscale = 1.2,
  deltat = 0.2,
  geps = 0.001 * h0,
  deps = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps) * h0,
  maxiter = 1000,
  plot = TRUE
)
distmesh2d(
  fd,
  fh,
  h0,
  bbox,
  p = NULL,
  pfix = array(0, dim = c(0, 2)),
  ...,
  dptol = 0.001,
  ttol = 0.1,
  Fscale = 1.2,
  deltat = 0.2,
  geps = 0.001 * h0,
  deps = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps) * h0,
  maxiter = 1000,
  plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

`fd`	Vectorized signed distance function, for example `mesh.dcircle` or `mesh.diff`, accepting an `n`-by-`2` matrix, where `n` is arbitrary, as the first argument.
`fh`	Vectorized function, for example `mesh.hunif`, that returns desired edge length as a function of position. Accepts an `n`-by-`2` matrix, where `n` is arbitrary, as its first argument.
`h0`	Initial distance between mesh nodes. (Ignored of `p` is supplied)
`bbox`	Bounding box `cbind(c(xmin,xmax), c(ymin,ymax))`
`p`	An `n`-by-`2` matrix. The rows of `p` represent locations of starting mesh nodes.
`pfix`	`nfix`-by-2 matrix with fixed node positions.
`...`	parameters to be passed to `fd` and/or `fh`
`dptol`	Algorithm stops when all node movements are smaller than `dptol`
`ttol`	Controls how far the points can move (relatively) before a retriangulation with `delaunayn`.
`Fscale`	“Internal pressure” in the edges.
`deltat`	Size of the time step in Euler's method.
`geps`	Tolerance in the geometry evaluations.
`deps`	Stepsize $\Delta x$ in numerical derivative computation for distance function.
`maxiter`	Maximum iterations.
`plot`	logical. If `TRUE` (default), the mesh is plotted as it is generated.

Details

This is an implementation of original Matlab software of Per-Olof Persson.

Excerpt (modified) from the reference below:

‘The algorithm is based on a mechanical analogy between a triangular mesh and a 2D truss structure. In the physical model, the edges of the Delaunay triangles of a set of points correspond to bars of a truss. Each bar has a force-displacement relationship $f(\ell, \ell_{0})$ depending on its current length $\ell$ and its unextended length $\ell_{0}$ .’

‘External forces on the structure come at the boundaries, on which external forces have normal orientations. These external forces are just large enough to prevent nodes from moving outside the boundary. The position of the nodes are the unknowns, and are found by solving for a static force equilibrium. The hope is that (when fh = function(p) return(rep(1,nrow(p)))), the lengths of all the bars at equilibrium will be nearly equal, giving a well-shaped triangular mesh.’

See the references below for all details. Also, see the comments in the source file.

Value

n-by-2 matrix with node positions.

Compute halfspace intersection about a point

Description

Compute halfspace intersection about a point

Usage

halfspacen(p, fp, options = "Tv")
halfspacen(p, fp, options = "Tv")

Arguments

`p`	An $M$ -by- $N+1$ matrix. Each row of `p` represents a halfspace by a $N$ -dimensional normal to a hyperplane and the offset of the hyperplane.
`fp`	A “feasible” point that is within the space contained within all the halfspaces.
`options`	String containing extra options, separated by spaces, for the underlying Qhull command; see Qhull documentation at ../doc/qhull/html/qhalf.html.

Value

A $N$ -column matrix containing the intersection points of the hyperplanes ../doc/qhull/html/qhalf.html.

Compute convex hull of intersection of two sets of points

Description

Compute convex hull of intersection of two sets of points

Usage

intersectn(
  ps1,
  ps2,
  tol = 0,
  return.chs = TRUE,
  options = "Tv",
  fp = NULL,
  autoscale = FALSE
)
intersectn(
  ps1,
  ps2,
  tol = 0,
  return.chs = TRUE,
  options = "Tv",
  fp = NULL,
  autoscale = FALSE
)

Arguments

`ps1`	First set of points
`ps2`	Second set of points
`tol`	Tolerance used to determine if a feasible point lies within the convex hulls of both points and to round off the points generated by the halfspace intersection, which sometimes produces points very close together.
`return.chs`	If `TRUE` (default) return the convex hulls of the first and second sets of points, as well as the convex hull of the intersection.
`options`	Options passed to `halfspacen`. By default this is `Tv`.
`fp`	Coordinates of feasible point, i.e. a point known to lie in the hulls of `ps1` and `ps2`. The feasible point is required for `halfspacen` to find the intersection. `intersectn` tries to find the feasible point automatically using the linear program in `feasible.point`, but currently the linear program fails on some examples where there is an obvious solution. This option overrides the automatic search for a feasible point
`autoscale`	Experimental in v0.4.2 Automatically scale the points to lie in a sensible numeric range. May help to correct some numerical issues.

Value

List containing named elements: ch1, the convex hull of the first set of points, with volumes, areas and normals (see convhulln; ch2, the convex hull of the first set of points, with volumes, areas and normals; ps, the intersection points of convex hulls ch1 and ch2; and ch, the convex hull of the intersection points, with volumes, areas and normals.

Note

intersectn was introduced in geometry 0.4.0, and is still under development. It is worth checking results for unexpected behaviour.

Row-wise matrix functions

Description

Compute maximum or minimum of each row, or sort each row of a matrix, or a set of (equal length) vectors.

Usage

matmax(...)
matmax(...)

Arguments

...

A numeric matrix or a set of numeric vectors (that are column-wise bind together into a matrix with cbind).

Value

matmin and matmax return a vector of length nrow(cbind(...)). matsort returns a matrix of dimension dim(cbind(...)) with in each row of cbind(...) sorted. matsort(x) is a lot faster than, e.g., t(apply(x,1,sort)), if x is tall (i.e., nrow(x)>>ncol(x) and ncol(x)<30. If ncol(x)>30 then matsort simply calls 't(apply(x,1,sort))'. matorder returns a permutation which rearranges its first argument into ascending order, breaking ties by further arguments.

Find surface triangles from tetrahedral mesh

Description

Find surface triangles from tetrahedral mesh typically obtained with delaunayn.

Usage

surf.tri(p, t)
surf.tri(p, t)

Arguments

`p`	An `n`-by-`3` matrix. The rows of `p` represent `n` points in `dim`-dimensional space.
`t`	Matrix with 4 columns, interpreted as output of `delaunayn`.

Details

surf.tri and convhulln serve a similar purpose in 3D, but surf.tri also works for non-convex meshes obtained e.g. with distmeshnd. It also does not produce currently unavoidable diagnostic output on the console as convhulln does at the Rterm console–i.e., surf.tri is silent.

Value

An m-by-3 index matrix of which each row defines a triangle. The indices refer to the rows in p.

Note

surf.tri was based on Matlab code for mesh of Per-Olof Persson (http://persson.berkeley.edu/distmesh/).

Search for the enclosing Delaunay convex hull

Description

For t <- delaunay(cbind(x, y)), where (x, y) is a 2D set of points, tsearch(x, y, t, xi, yi) finds the index in t containing the points (xi, yi). For points outside the convex hull the index is NA.

Usage

tsearch(x, y, t, xi, yi, bary = FALSE, method = "quadtree")
tsearch(x, y, t, xi, yi, bary = FALSE, method = "quadtree")

Arguments

`x`	X-coordinates of triangulation points
`y`	Y-coordinates of triangulation points
`t`	Triangulation, e.g. produced by `t <- delaunayn(cbind(x, y))`
`xi`	X-coordinates of points to test
`yi`	Y-coordinates of points to test
`bary`	If `TRUE` return barycentric coordinates as well as index of triangle.
`method`	One of `"quadtree"` or `"orig"`. The Quadtree algorithm is much faster and new from version 0.4.0. The `orig` option uses the tsearch algorithm adapted from Octave code. Its use is deprecated and it may be removed from a future version of the package.

Value

If bary is FALSE, the index in t containing the points (xi, yi). For points outside the convex hull the index is NA. If bary is TRUE, a list containing:

list("idx"): the index in t containing the points (xi, yi)
list("p"): a 3-column matrix containing the barycentric coordinates with respect to the enclosing triangle of each point (xi, yi).

For t = delaunayn(x), where x is a set of points in $N$ dimensions, tsearchn(x, t, xi) finds the index in t containing the points xi. For points outside the convex hull, idx is NA. tsearchn also returns the barycentric coordinates p of the enclosing triangles.

Usage

tsearchn(x, t, xi, ...)
tsearchn(x, t, xi, ...)

Arguments

`x`	An $N$ -column matrix, in which each row represents a point in $N$ -dimensional space.
`t`	A matrix with $N+1$ columns. A row of `t` contains indices into `x` of the vertices of an $N$ -dimensional simplex. `t` is usually the output of delaunayn.
`xi`	An $M$ -by- $N$ matrix. The rows of `xi` represent $M$ points in $N$ -dimensional space whose positions in the mesh are being sought.
`...`	Additional arguments

Details

If x is NA and the t is a delaunayn object produced by delaunayn with the full option, then use the Qhull library to perform the search. Please note that this is experimental in geometry version 0.4.0 and is only partly tested for 3D hulls, and does not yet work for hulls of 4 dimensions and above.

Value

A list containing:

idx: An $M$ -long vector containing the indices of the row of t in which each point in xi is found.
p: An $M$ -by- $N+1$ matrix containing the barycentric coordinates with respect to the enclosing simplex of each point in xi.

Extract Unique Rows

Description

‘Unique’ returns a vector, data frame or array like 'x' but with duplicate elements removed.

Usage

Unique(X, rows.are.sets = FALSE)
Unique(X, rows.are.sets = FALSE)

Arguments

`X`	Numerical matrix.
`rows.are.sets`	If ‘`TRUE`’, rows are treated as sets - i.e., to define uniqueness, the order of the rows does not matter.

Value

Matrix of the same number of columns as x, with the unique rows in x sorted according to the columns of x. If rows.are.sets = TRUE the rows are also sorted.

Note

‘Unique’ is (under circumstances) much quicker than the more generic base function ‘unique’.

Examples


# `Unique' is faster than `unique'
x = matrix(sample(1:(4*8),4*8),ncol=4)
y = x[sample(1:nrow(x),3000,TRUE), ]
gc(); system.time(unique(y))
gc(); system.time(Unique(y))

#
z = Unique(y)
x[matorder(x),]
z[matorder(z),]

# `Unique' is faster than `unique'
x = matrix(sample(1:(4*8),4*8),ncol=4)
y = x[sample(1:nrow(x),3000,TRUE), ]
gc(); system.time(unique(y))
gc(); system.time(Unique(y))

#
z = Unique(y)
x[matorder(x),]
z[matorder(z),]
