SpatialPointSelect

[Experimental]

✖
SpatialPointSelect[spdata,crit]

selects a subset of the SpatialPointData spdata according to crit.

Details

  • SpatialPointSelect is typically used to get a smaller SpatialPointData with some parts selected.
  • Conceptually, SpatialPointSelect acts as a Select on points and annotations of the form {{point1,ann1},{point2,ann2},…} to select a subpart.
  • The criterion function crit is typically a Boolean expression with conditions on points and annotations, such as (Norm[#Point]<1&& #species"Birch")& if species was one of the annotation keys.
  • The following arguments can be used in crit:
  • #Pointconditions on point
    #keyconditions on values associated with the annotation "key"
