PoR2Geo_azimuth: Azimuth Conversion From PoR to Geographical Coordinate Reference System

Description

Conversion of PoR azimuths into geographical azimuths

Usage

PoR2Geo_azimuth(x, PoR, axial = TRUE)

Value

numeric vector of transformed azimuths (in degrees)

Arguments

x

sf object or a data.frame containing the coordinates of the point(s) (lat, lon columns). x must contain the direction of \(\sigma_\text{Hmax}\) as column azi, its standard deviation (column unc) is optional).

PoR

data.frame or object of class euler.pole containing the geographical coordinates of the Euler pole.

axial

logical. Whether the azimuth is axial (0-180°) or directional (0-360°).
