openSTARS (version 1.2.2)

check_compl_confluences: Check if there are more than two inflows to an outflow.

Description

It is checked, if more than two line segments flow into a node, i.e. if there are more than two inflows to an outflow.

Usage

check_compl_confluences()

Value

TRUE if there are complex confluences.

Details

It is checked, if there are columns named 'prev_str03', 'prev_str04' and 'prev_str05' in the attribute table of streams_v derived with derive_streams (i.e. based on the GRASS function r.stream.order).

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Initiate and setup GRASS
dem_path <- system.file("extdata", "nc", "elev_ned_30m.tif", package = "openSTARS")

  grass_program_path = "c:/Program Files/GRASS GIS 7.6"
  } else {
