An object of <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/lakeMorphoClass?package=lakemorpho&version=1.0.2" data-mini-rdoc="lakemorpho::lakeMorphoClass">lakeMorphoClass</a></code>.  Output of the 
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/lakeSurroundTopo?package=lakemorpho&version=1.0.2" data-mini-rdoc="lakemorpho::lakeSurroundTopo">lakeSurroundTopo</a></code> function would be appropriate as input

inLakeMorpho


This function returns the length of the shoreline of the lake and is simply 
the perimeter of the input lake polyogn.


Lake morphometry metrics are used by limnologists to understand,
among other things, the ecological processes in a lake. Traditionally, these
metrics are calculated by hand, with planimeters, and increasingly with
commercial GIS products. All of these methods work; however, they are either
outdated, difficult to reproduce, or require expensive licenses to use. The
\code{lakemorpho} package provides the tools to calculate a typical suite
of these metrics from an input elevation model and lake polygon. The metrics
currently supported are: fetch, maximum length, maximum width, mean width,
maximum depth, mean depth, shoreline development, shoreline length, surface
area, and volume.
