dgearthstat: Get grid statistics for Earth coverage

In hexify: Equal-Area Hex Grids on the 'Snyder' 'ISEA' 'Icosahedron'

Get grid statistics for Earth coverage

Description

Calculates statistics about the hexagonal grid at the current resolution, including total number of cells, cell area, and cell spacing.

Usage

dgearthstat(dggs)

Arguments

dggs	Grid specification from hexify_grid()

Value

List with components:

area_km	Total Earth surface area in km^2
n_cells	Total number of cells at this resolution
cell_area_km2	Average cell area in km^2
cell_spacing_km	Average distance between cell centers in km
resolution	Resolution level
aperture	Grid aperture

Examples

grid <- hexify_grid(area = 1000, aperture = 3)
stats <- dgearthstat(grid)

print(sprintf("Resolution %d has %.0f cells",
              stats$resolution, stats$n_cells))
print(sprintf("Average cell area: %.2f km^2",
              stats$cell_area_km2))
print(sprintf("Average cell spacing: %.2f km",
              stats$cell_spacing_km))
