Returns range statistics: extreme spread, figure of merit, bounding box diagonal
Usage
getRangeStat(xy, dstTarget, conversion)
# S3 method for data.frame
getRangeStat(xy, dstTarget, conversion)
# S3 method for default
getRangeStat(xy, dstTarget, conversion)
Arguments
xy
either a numerical (n x p)-matrix with the coordinates of n points (1 row of p coordinates per point), or a data frame with either the variables x, y or point.x, point.y (optionally z or point.z).
dstTarget
a numerical value giving the distance to the target - used in MOA calculation. Acts as override if variable distance is already included in xy. See getMOA.
conversion
how to convert the measurement unit for distance to target to that of the (x,y)-coordinates in MOA calculation. Acts as override if variables dist.unit and point.unit are already included in xy. Example 'm2cm'. See getMOA.
Value
A named numeric vector with elements ES (extreme spread), FoM (figure of merit), D (bounding box diagonal).
