nlm_planargradient

Description

Simulates a planar gradient neutral landscape model.

Usage

nlm_planargradient(ncol, nrow, resolution = 1, direction = NA, rescale = TRUE)

Arguments

ncol

[numerical(1)]
Number of columns forming the raster.

nrow

[numerical(1)]
Number of rows forming the raster.

resolution

[numerical(1)]
Resolution of the raster.

direction

[numerical(1)]
Direction of the gradient in degrees, if unspecified the direction is randomly determined.

rescale

[logical(1)]
If TRUE (default), the values are rescaled between 0-1.

Details

Simulates a linear gradient sloping in a specified or random direction.

Value

RasterLayer
