Documentation for SLiM function distanceToPoint, which is a method of the SLiM class InteractionType. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

1	distanceToPoint(individuals1, point)

`individuals1`	An object of type Individual object. See details for description.
`point`	An object of type float. See details for description.

Returns a vector containing distances between individuals in individuals1 and the point given by the spatial coordinates in point. The point vector is interpreted as providing coordinates precisely as specified by the spatiality of the interaction type; if the interaction type’s spatiality is "xz", for example, then point[0] is assumed to be an x value, and point[1] is assumed to be a z value. Be careful; this means that in general it is not safe to pass an individual’s spatialPosition property for point, for example (although it is safe if the spatiality of the interaction matches the dimensionality of the simulation). A coordinate for a periodic spatial dimension must be within the spatial bounds for that dimension, since coordinates outside of periodic bounds are meaningless (pointPeriodic() may be used to ensure this); coordinates for non-periodic spatial dimensions are not restricted. Importantly, distances are calculated according to the spatiality of the InteractionType (as declared in initializeInteractionType()) not the dimensionality of the model as a whole (as declared in initializeSLiMOptions()). The distances are therefore interaction distances: the distances that are used to calculate interaction strengths. If the InteractionType is non-spatial, this method may not be called. The vector point must be exactly as long as the spatiality of the InteractionType.

An object of type float.
