The concaveman
function ports the concaveman library from mapbox. It computes the concave polygon for one set of points.
Usage
concaveman(points, concavity, length_threshold)
# S3 method for class 'matrix'
concaveman(points, concavity = 2, length_threshold = 0)
# S3 method for class 'sf'
concaveman(points, concavity = 2, length_threshold = 0)
# S3 method for class 'sfc'
concaveman(points, concavity = 2, length_threshold = 0)
Arguments
- points
the points for which the concave hull must be computed. Can be represented as a matrix of coordinates or an
sf
object.- concavity
a relative measure of concavity. 1 results in a relatively detailed shape, Infinity results in a convex hull. You can use values lower than 1, but they can produce pretty crazy shapes.
- length_threshold
when a segment length is under this threshold, it stops being considered for further detalization. Higher values result in simpler shapes.

For details regarding the implementation, please see the original javascript library github page. This is just a thin wrapper, via V8
