#'@title Detect water
#'
#'@description Detects bodies of water (of a user-defined minimum size) within an elevation matrix.
#'
#'@param heightmap A two-dimensional matrix, where each entry in the matrix is the elevation at that point. 
#'All grid points are assumed to be evenly spaced. Alternatively, if heightmap is a logical matrix, each entry
#'specifies whether that point is water or not.
#'@param zscale Default `1`. The ratio between the x and y spacing (which are assumed to be equal) and the z axis. For example, if the elevation levels are in units
#'of 1 meter and the grid values are separated by 10 meters, `zscale` would be 10.
#'@param cutoff Default `0.999`. The lower limit of the z-component of the unit normal vector to be classified as water.
#'@param min_area Default length(heightmap)/400. Minimum area (in units of the height matrix x and y spacing) to be considered a body of water.
#'@param max_height Default `NULL`. If passed, this number will specify the maximum height a point can be considered to be water.
#'@param normalvectors Default `NULL`. Pre-computed array of normal vectors from the `calculate_normal` function. Supplying this will speed up water detection.
#'@param keep_groups Default `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, the matrix returned will retain the numbered grouping information.
#'@param progbar Default `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, turns on progress bar.
#'@return Matrix indicating whether water was detected at that point. 1 indicates water, 0 indicates no water.

#'library(magrittr)
#'#Here we even out a portion of the volcano dataset to simulate water:
#'island_volcano = volcano
#'island_volcano[island_volcano < mean(island_volcano)] = mean(island_volcano)
#'
#'#Setting a minimum area avoids classifying small flat areas as water:
#'island_volcano %>%
#'  sphere_shade(texture="imhof3") %>%
#'  add_water(detect_water(island_volcano, min_area = 400),color="imhof3") %>%
#'  plot_map()
