offset.points: Offset points from the line to actual position

Description

Convert x,y point locations on the line and a distance (negative is left of line for the direction of travel) for a series of points in a strip.

Usage

offset.points(line, pts)

Arguments

line
vector with named components of x0,y0,x1,y1; line traverses from (x0,y0) to (x1,y1)
pts
dataframe of x,y,distance for each observed point; x,y is the location on the line that is perpendicular to the object; a negative distance implies it is on the left side of the line as defined by the direction of travel

Value

  • pts dataframe with x,y locations of the objects offset from the line at the appropriate distance and side.
