niche.grid.coords: Niche Grid Coordinates

In virtualNicheR: Generating Virtual Fundamental and Realised Niches

Description

Create an n-dimensional grid of coordinates across niche space.

Usage

niche.grid.coords(mins, maxs, nCoords)

Arguments

mins	Vector of length n listing the niche space minimum for each dimension.
maxs	Vector of length n listing the niche space maximum for each dimension.
nCoords	Number of coordinates across the niche space in all dimensions.

Details

This function creates a grid of coordinates systematically located throughout the specified niche space to enable visualisation of niche patterns. The extent of the grid is given by the mins and maxs, and the number of coordinates for each dimension is given by nCoords.

Value

A matrix with n columns.
