In geosphere: Spherical Trigonometry

Distance matrix

Description

Distance matrix of a set of points, or between two sets of points

Usage

distm(x, y, fun=distGeo)

Arguments

x	longitude/latitude of point(s). Can be a vector of two numbers, a matrix of 2 columns (first one is longitude, second is latitude) or a SpatialPoints* object
y	Same as x. If missing, y is the same as x
fun	A function to compute distances (e.g., distCosine or distGeo)

Value

Matrix of distances
