hf_efficiency: General hiking function for efficiency

In kbvernon/rHike: Functions for Computing Hiking Efficiency and Velocity

Description

A convenience wrapper for generating an efficiency (energy per unit distance) raster based on various hiking functions.

Usage

hf_efficiency(x, hf = "herzog", ...)

Arguments

x	A RasterLayer with slope values, assumed to be in degrees.
hf	Character The hiking function with which to compute efficiency, either "herzog" (default) or "flerp."
...	Arguments to be passed to individual hiking functions.

Value

A raster* of velocity values in J/kg/m.

Examples

## Not run: 

library(raster)

dem <- raster(system.file("extdata/slc.grd", package = "rHike"))

slope <- hf_slope(dem)

efficiency <- hf_efficiency(slope, hf = "herzog")

plot(efficiency)


## End(Not run)
