识别规则格中的哪些点位于多边形的边界内

Question

我想确定定义规则格的哪些点位于多边形内。下面的代码做到这一点，但非常非常缓慢：

#the polygon that I want to check each point against 
glasgow_single <- readShapePoly(
    fn="data/clipped/glasgow_single" 
) 

#interpolated contains the coordinates of the regular grid 
points_to_check <- expand.grid(
    x=interpolated$x, 
    y=interpolated$y 
    ) 

#function to be called by plyr  
fn <- function(X){ 
    this_coord <- data.frame(lon=X["x"], lat=X["y"]) 
    this_point <- SpatialPoints(this_coord) 
    out <- gContains(glasgow_single, this_point) 
    out <- data.frame(x=X["x"], y=X["y"], val=out) 
    return(out) 
} 

#plyr call 
vals <- adply(points_to_check, 1, fn, .progress="text") 
vals$val <- as.numeric(vals$val) 

考虑到双方思考的时间和计算时间，有没有这样做的更快的方法？

是的，有一个更好的方法。对于这个以及其他许多拓扑操作，您已经很好地涵盖了这个包。在这里，你想rgeos::gWithin()：

## Required packages 
library(rgdal) 
library(raster) ## For example polygon & functions used to make example points 
library(rgeos) 

## Reproducible example 
poly <- readOGR(system.file("external", package="raster"), "lux")[1,] 
points <- as(raster(extent(poly)), "SpatialPoints") 
proj4string(points) <- proj4string(poly) 

## Test which points fall within polygon 
win <- gWithin(points, poly, byid=TRUE) 

## Check that it works 
plot(poly) 
points(points, col=1+win)
