Computes the diameter of an object such as a two-dimensional window or three-dimensional box.

Usage

 diameter(x)

Arguments

x

A window or other object whose diameter will be computed.

Details

This function computes the diameter of an object such as a two-dimensional window or a three-dimensional box. The diameter is the maximum distance between any two points in the object.

The function diameter is generic, with methods for the class "owin" (two-dimensional windows), "box3" (three-dimensional boxes) and "boxx" (multi-dimensional boxes).

Value

The numerical value of the diameter of the object.
