Linear Distances
Description
Given a set of locations defining a trajectory, this function computes the linear distances between each pair of successive locations along the trajectory.
Usage
linear_dist(x, y, geo = FALSE)
linDist(x, y, geo = FALSE)
Arguments
x |
A vector of x (or longitude) coordinates corresponding to a single trajectory. |
y |
A vector of y (or latitude) coordinates corresponding to a single trajectory. |
geo |
A logical value indicating whether the locations are defined by geographic coordinates (pairs of longitude/latitude values). Default: FALSE. |
Value
A vector of the same length as x and y corresponding to the linear distances between each pair of successive locations along the trajectory.
