distanceH: Horizontal distance

In dendrometry: Forest Estimations and Dendrometric Computations

Horizontal distance

Description

Horizontal distance calculation for sloping area.

Usage

distanceH(
  distance,
  angle,
  type = c("slope", "angle"),
  angleUnit = c("deg", "rad")
)

Arguments

distance	numeric, vector of the distance measured on sloping area.
angle	numeric, vector of angle or slope values.
type	character, type of angle argument. Either "angle" or "slope". Default is "slope".
angleUnit	character, unit of angle measures if type = "angle". Either "deg" for degree or "rad" for radian. Default is "deg".

Value

A vector of horizontal distance.

Examples

distanceH(20, 30)
distanceH(20, angle = 30, type = "slope")
distanceH(20, angle = 25, type = "angle")
