"bufferedTract"
This routine will set up a ‘skeleton’
"bufferedTract"
object for simulation.
initTract(extents = c(x = 150, y = 150), cellSize = 1, bufferWidth = 14, units = "metric", ...)
extents |
The x,y extents relative from (0,0) for the tract. Be sure to include the names (x & y as above) in the specification of this vector. |
cellSize |
The cell size in feet or meters. |
bufferWidth |
The buffer width, which should be large enough to include the half-width of the largest inclusion zone for any sampling method tested. |
units |
‘English’ or ‘metric’ (default). |
... |
Other arguments that might be passed along to the
|
This is a very simple method whose only purpose is to make it easy to generate an “bufferedTract” object.
An object of class “bufferedTract”.
Note that makePop
calls this directly, so the arguments
above can be passed through that routine if creating a synthetic
northern hardwoods population (through a call to drawTreePop
).
