distances: Computes distance between pairs of locations
In SpatialExtremes: Modelling Spatial Extremes

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

This function computes euclidean distance or distance vector for each pair of a set of spatial locations.

1	distance(coord, vec = FALSE)

`coord`	A matrix representing the coordinates of each locations. Each row corresponds to one location.
`vec`	Logical. If `FALSE` (default), the euclidean distance is computed. Otherwise, “distance vectors” are returned.

If vec = FALSE, this function returns a vector that gives the euclidean distance for each pair of locations. Otherwise, this is a matrix where each column correspond to one dimension - i.e. longitude, latitude, ...
