isflowconnected: Check Flow-Connectedness

Description

Checks to see if two segments are flow-connected. Called internally within riverdirection and upstream.

Usage

isflowconnected(seg1, seg2, rivers, stopiferror = TRUE, algorithm = NULL)

Value

Logical TRUE if the two segments are flow-connected, FALSE if they are not

Arguments

seg1

First input segment

seg2

Second input segment

rivers

The river network object to use

stopiferror

Whether or not to exit with an error if a route cannot be found. If this is set to FALSE and a route cannot be found, the function will return NA in the appropriate entry. Defaults to TRUE. See detectroute.
