In NLMR: Simulating Neutral Landscape Models

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

Simulates an edge-gradient neutral landscape model.

1	nlm_edgegradient(ncol, nrow, resolution = 1, direction = NA, rescale = TRUE)

`ncol`	[`numerical(1)`] Number of columns forming the raster.
`nrow`	[`numerical(1)`] Number of rows forming the raster.
`resolution`	[`numerical(1)`] Resolution of the raster.
`direction`	[`numerical(1)`] Direction of the gradient (between 0 and 360 degrees), if unspecified the direction is randomly determined.
`rescale`	[`logical(1)`] If `TRUE` (default), the values are rescaled between 0-1.

Simulates a linear gradient orientated on a specified or random direction that has a central peak running perpendicular to the gradient direction.
