Rotate the tissue to reduce empty space in plots

This function finds the minimum bounding rotated rectangle and then rotates the sample so the minimum bounding rotated rectangle is horizontal or vertical. This will reduce empty space in plots when the sample has a long shape.

Usage

# S4 method for class 'matrix'
rotateMinRect(x, orientation = c("horizontal", "vertical"), ...)

# S4 method for class 'sfc'
rotateMinRect(x, orientation = c("horizontal", "vertical"), ...)

# S4 method for class 'sf'
rotateMinRect(x, orientation = c("horizontal", "vertical"), ...)

# S4 method for class 'SpatialFeatureExperiment'
rotateMinRect(x, orientation = c("horizontal", "vertical"), maxcell = 1e+07)

Arguments

x

Object of interest to be rotated, can be a matrix with 2 columns, sf, sfc, or SpatialFeatureExperiment.

orientation

Whether you want the rotated sample to be horizontal or vertical.

...

Ignored

maxcell

Rotating SpatRasterImage will convert it into ExtImage, loading the image into memory. This argument specifies the maximum number of pixels in the image loaded into memory. The image will be down sampled to approximately this number of pixels.

Value

Object of the same class as x, rotated.
