name	Full name of metrics (e.g. "core area").
type	Character vector. Type according to FRAGSTATS grouping. One or more of the following: "area and edge", "core area", "shape", "aggregation", "complexity", and or "diversity". Default NULL considers all types.
what	Selected level of metrics: either "patch", "class" or "landscape". It is also possible to specify functions as a vector of strings, e.g. what = c("lsm_c_ca", "lsm_l_ta").
