buildNodeOrder: Build Node Order

In KevinSee/PITcleanr: Cleans up PIT tag capture histories

Build Node Order

Description

Creates a data frame showing the path (through various detection sites) to reach each detection location in a parent-child table, and the node order of that location

Usage

buildNodeOrder(parent_child = NULL, direction = "u")

Arguments

parent_child	data frame with at least 'parent' and 'child' columns. Can be created with 'buildParentChild()' function.
direction	the direction of movement. Parent-child tables are generally built imagining parents as downstream from children. Assuming that's the case, should the paths be upstream ('u' or 'upstream'), the default, or downstream ('d' or 'downstream')?

Value

data frame containing a column,'end_loc', showing the possible final locations, a column, 'node_order', showing the order of that node along the path, and a column, 'path', showing all the detection locations to pass on the way to that final location.
