gProject | R Documentation |
Return distances along geometry to points nearest the specified points.
gProject(spgeom, sppoint, normalized = FALSE)
spgeom |
SpatialLines or SpatialLinesDataFrame object |
sppoint |
SpatialPoints or SpatialPointsDataFrame object |
normalized |
Logical determining if normalized distances should be used |
If normalized=TRUE
, distances normalized to the length
of the geometry are returned, i.e., values between 0 and 1.
a numeric vector containing the distances along the line to points nearest to the specified points
