Boolean to determine if the selected minor axis line should be 
added to the inLakeMorpho object. Defaults to True

addLine

Minor axis length is defined as the minimum length spanning the convex hull
of a lake.

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outdated, difficult to reproduce, or require expensive licenses to use.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
'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, major axis, minor axis, major/minor axis
ratio, maximum length, maximum width, mean width, maximum depth, mean depth,
shoreline development, shoreline length, surface area, and volume.
