distcenter: A function to compute the distance from spatial units centroids to the center

Usage

distcenter(spatobj = NULL, folder = NULL, shape = NULL, center = 1)

Arguments

spatobj
- a Spatial object (SpatialPolygonsDataFrame)
folder
- a character vector with the folder (directory) where the shapefile is
shape
- a character vector with the name of the shapefile (without the .shp extension)
center
- the row number of the center

Value

  • A vector with the distance to the center's centroid } description{ The function is based on pkg{rgdal} and pkg{rgeos} packages and it can be used by providing a shape file or a R spatial object (SpatialPolygonsDataFrame). } examples{ distcenter(GreHSize, center = 19) foldername <- system.file('extdata', package = 'OasisR') shapename <- 'GreHSize'distcenter(folder = foldername, shape = shapename, center = 19) } seealso{ Other spatial functions used for segregation indices computation: code{area}, code{contig}, code{perimeter}, code{distance}, code{boundaries}, code{xgeo} }
