Isovist analysis

This is a basic example which shows you how to use visor to calculate the isovist for view points on an arbitrary geometry (a line) and a set of occluders.

library(visor)
library(sf)
#> Linking to GEOS 3.13.0, GDAL 3.8.5, PROJ 9.5.1; sf_use_s2() is TRUE

We define the occluder geometries and the viewpoint source geometry (here, a line):

# Define occluder geoemtries
occluders <- st_sfc(
  create_occluder(1, 1, 1, 0.5),
  create_occluder(4, 1, 1.5, 0.7),
  create_occluder(7, 1, 0.8, 0.8),
  create_occluder(2, 5, 2, 1),
  create_occluder(5, 5, 1, 1.5),
  create_occluder(1, 7, 1.2, 0.6),
  create_occluder(7, 7, 1.8, 0.9)
)

# Define the viewpoint source geometry
line <- st_sfc(
  st_linestring(matrix(c(0, 3, 9, 3), ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE))
)

Generate the viewpoints:

vpoints <- get_viewpoints(line, density = 1)

Calculate the isovist:

isovist <- get_isovist(vpoints, occluders, ray_num = 160, ray_length = 5,
                       remove_holes = FALSE)

Plot the input geometries and the computed isovist:

plot(isovist, col = "blue")
plot(occluders, col = "grey", add = TRUE)
plot(line, col = "lightblue", add = TRUE)
plot(vpoints, col = "red", add = TRUE)
