Hello,
Currently I'm only coming up with brute force solutions to this issue.
Wondering if anyone knows of a better way to do this.
The problem: I have endpoints of one x range (x_rng) and an unknown number
of s ranges (s[#]_rng) also defined by endpoints. What I want are the parts
of the x ranges that don't overlap the s ranges. The examples below
demonstrate what I mean. I'm glossing over an obvious endpoint
inclusion/exclusion issue here for simplicity, but in a perfect world the
resulting ranges would not include the s range endpoints and would include
endpoints of the x range if they were not eliminated by an s range.
Is there some function(s) in R that would make this easy?
Ex 1.
For:
x_rng = c(-100,100)
s1_rng = c(-25.5,30)
s2_rng = c(0.77,10)
s3_rng = c(25,35)
s4_rng = c(70,80.3)
s5_rng = c(90,95)
I would get:
xa_rng = c(-100,-25.5)
xb_rng = c(35,70)
xc_rng = c(80.3,90)
xd_rng = c(95,100)
Ex 2.
For:
x_rng = c(-50.5,100)
s1_rng = c(-75.3,30)
I would get:
xa_rng = c(30,100)
Ex 3.
For:
x_rng = c(-75.3,30)
s1_rng = c(-50.5,100)
I would get:
xa_rng = c(-75.3,-50.5)
Ex 4.
For:
x_rng = c(-100,100)
s1_rng = c(-105,105)
I would get something like:
xa_rng = c(NA,NA)
or...
xa_rng = NA
Ex 5.
For:
x_rng = c(-100,100)
s1_rng = c(-100,100)
I would get something like:
xa_rng = c(NA,NA)
or...
xa_rng = NA
