ox_orientation_entropy R Documentation
Street-orientation entropy
Description
Shannon entropy (in nats) of the distribution of edge compass bearings,
binned into equal sectors. Higher values indicate a more disordered
(organic) network; lower values a more ordered (gridiron) one.
Usage
ox_orientation_entropy(x, num_bins = 36)
Arguments
x
An osm_graph or a numeric vector of bearings
(degrees), e.g. from ox_bearings().
num_bins
Number of equal bearing sectors over [0, 360). Default 36.
Value
A numeric scalar (entropy in nats).
Examples
g <- example_osm_graph()
ox_orientation_entropy(g)
