distance {SpatialExtremes}

Computes distance between pairs of locations

Description

This function computes euclidean distance or distance vector for each pair of a set of spatial locations.

Usage

distance(coord, vec = FALSE)

Arguments

coord

A matrix representing the coordinates of each locations. Each row corresponds to one location.

vec

Logical. If FALSE (default), the euclidean distance is computed. Otherwise, “distance vectors” are returned.

Value

If vec = FALSE, this function returns a vector that gives the euclidean distance for each pair of locations. Otherwise, this is a matrix where each column correspond to one dimension - i.e. longitude, latitude, ...
