Arguments

userinput1

Not currently used by the function. Default = 1

Details

A shapefile with transects is intersected with another shapefile containing historical boundaries (shorelines) to create a point shapefile. The transect and boundary shapefiles must have the proper fields in their attribute tables. See 'ambur.check' and 'ambur.addfields' command for determining if proper fields are present in shapefiles. The resulting point shapefile will be used by 'ambur.analysis' to generate statistics/graphics of changes and rates.

Value

A shapefile containing intersection points. The shapefile is named "shorepts.shp" and is stored in a time-stamped folder in side a folder named "AMBUR_capture" where the boundary shapefile is located.
