secrlinear (version 1.0.3)

showpath: Display Shortest Path

Description

An interactive function to examine shortest paths and the associated network distances within a linear mask.

Usage

showpath(mask, add = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

mask

linearmask object

add

logical; if TRUE the plot is added to an existing plot

...

other arguments passed to lines for drawing network path

Value

• Invisibly returns a list comprising
• paths
  a list of dataframes, each with the mask coordinates along a selected path
• results
  a dataframe with one row for each path giving the distances for each pair of points (columns `from', `to', `Euclidean.d', `network.d')
• .

Details

The selected points are snapped to the nearest mask point before any calculations. The path shown is a shortest path as determined by function get.shortest.paths of the igraph package. There may be others.

Examples

x <- seq(0, 4*pi, length = 200)
xy <- data.frame(x = x*100, y = sin(x)*300)
xy2 <- data.frame(x = x*100, y = cos(x)*300)
test <- read.linearmask(data = xy, spacing = 10)
test2 <- read.linearmask(data = xy2, spacing = 10)
test3 <- rbind(test, test2)
showpath(test3, lwd = 5)
