Check if Two Points Lie Within some Distance in All Dimensions
Description
A function to check whether two points lie within some distance in every dimension.
Usage
DistanceCheck(point1, point2, dist, dimensions=length(point1))
Arguments
point1 |
An n dimensional vector representing point1. |
point2 |
An n dimensional vector representing point2. |
dist |
A floating point number representing the maximum distance in each dimension allowed for points to be considered equivalent. |
dimensions |
An integer representing the number of dimensions being checked. This defaults to the length of the first vector. |
Value
A boolean value is returned. The value is true if the points are within the distance in every dimension and false if not.

Examples
# Creating two points.
point1 <- c(0, 2, 4, 6)
point2 <- c(0, 1, 2, 3)
# Running the check with distances 1 and 3 in 4 dimensions.
DistanceCheck(point1, point2, 1, 4)
DistanceCheck(point1, point2, 3, 4)
