Plot the triangles produced by earcut, or plot the polygon paths using the same interface as earcut uses. This allows for easy comparison and checking of what the results should be.
plot_ears(xy, idx, add = FALSE, ...) plot_holes(xy, holes = 0, add = FALSE, ...)
Arguments
| xy | xy-coordinates, either a list, matrix, or data frame |
|---|---|
| idx | index of triangles |
| add | add to current plot, or create a new |
| ... | arguments to polypath |
| holes | index of starting position of holes (see earcut) |
Details
For both functions the first input is a matrix of x,y coordinates.
For plot_ears the second input is the index output of earcut. The index is treated in sets of 3 values, with individual calls to polypath to draw a polygon for each triangle.
For plot_holes the second input is the holes argument that would
be used for earcut. This is used to split the coordinates at these positions,
inserting NA values as per the mechanism used by graphics::polypath to
break coordinates into separate polygon rings. (There's no winding rule here
plot_rules is hard-coded to always use the evenodd rule, so that winding
order may be ignored).

Examples
## after ?polypath x <- cbind(c(.1, .1, .9, .9, .2, .2, .8, .8), c(.1, .9, .9, .1, .2, .8, .8, .2)) plot_holes(x, holes = 5, col = "grey")
