least_cost_surface

R Documentation

Accumulated wind cost surface

Description

Calculate the accumulated wind cost-distance (e.g. travel times) or flow rate (the inverse of cost-distance) from one or more sites to every grid cell across the domain, using the least cost path algorithm. This function is a wrapper around accCost.

Usage

least_cost_surface(graph, sites, rate = FALSE)

Arguments

`graph`	A wind_graph.
`sites`	A two-column matrix of point coordinates.
`rate`	Whether to return values as "rates" instead of the default "cost distances". Rates are the inverse of cost distances, representing flow rather than travel time.
