Distance Between Points
Description
This uses the haversine formula (by default) to calculate
the great-circle distance between two points, i.e., the shortest distance
over the earth's surface.
Usage
point_distance(a, b, ...)
Arguments
a
lon, lat coordinate of point 1
b
lon, lat coordinate of point 2
...
parameters passed to tectonicr::dist_greatcircle()
Value
units object giving the distance
Examples
berlin <- c(13.4, 52.517) # lon, lat
tokyo <- c(139.767, 35.7) # lon, lat
point_distance(berlin, tokyo)
