accCost {gdistance}

Accumulated Cost Surface

Description

Calculates the accumulated cost surface from one or more origins.

Usage

accCost(x, fromCoords)

Arguments

x

object of class TransitionLayer

fromCoords

origin point locations (SpatialPoints, matrix or numeric class)

Details

If more than one coordinate is supplied in fromCoords, the function calculates the minimum least-cost distance from any origin point.

The function uses Dijkstra's algorithm (as implemented in the igraph package).

Value

a RasterLayer object
