calcBoundaryData

calcBoundaryData.PolySet

calcBoundaryData.SpatialPolygons

<code>PolySet</code>, <code>SpatialPolygons</code> or <code>SpatialPolyognsDataFrame</code> object.

<code>numeric</code> to specify precision of calculations (that is, how far apart do vertices have to be to be considered different).

<code>numeric</code> to scale boundary lengths.

length.factor

<code>numeric</code> to scale boundary lengths for edges that do not have any neighbors, such as those that occur along the margins.

edge.factor


This function calculates boundary length data for <code>PolySet</code>, <code>SpatialPolygons</code>, and <code>SpatialPolygonsDataFrame</code> objects.
Be aware that this function is designed to be as fast as possible, and as a consequence, if this
function is used improperly then it may crash R. Furthermore, multipart polygons with touching edges will likely result in inaccuracies.
If argument set to <code>SpatialPolygons</code> or <code>SpatialPolygonsDataFrame</code>, this will be converted to PolySet before processing.


Biodiversity is in crisis. The overarching aim of conservation
is to preserve biodiversity patterns and processes. To this end, protected
areas are established to buffer species and preserve biodiversity processes.
But resources are limited and so protected areas must be cost-effective. This
package contains tools to generate plans for protected areas (prioritizations),
using spatially explicit targets for biodiversity patterns and processes.
To obtain solutions in a feasible amount  of time, this package uses the
commercial 'Gurobi' software package (obtained from <http://www.gurobi.com/>).
Additionally, the 'rgurobi' package can also be installed to provide extra
functionality (obtained from <http://github.com/jeffreyhanson/rgurobi>).
