geo_toptail: Clip the first and last n metres of SpatialLines

Description

Takes lines and removes the start and end point, to a distance determined by the user.

Usage

geo_toptail(l, toptail_dist, ...)

Arguments

l

A SpatialLines object

toptail_dist

The distance (in metres) to top and tail the line by. Can either be a single value or a vector of the same length as the SpatialLines object.

...

Arguments passed to rgeos::gBuffer()

Details

Note: toptailgs() is around 10 times faster, but only works on data with geographic CRS's due to its reliance on the geosphere package.
