Distance to vector features — distance_to

Compute a raster file with the distances to the nearest vector feature, within the limits of a given mask.

distance_to_vector(x, mask)

Arguments

x: SpatVector object, or something convertible to.
mask: SpatRaster object

Value

SpatRaster object. Distance map in meters (even for unprojected maps in geographical coordinates).

Details

The resolution of the mask determines that of the outcome.

Examples

  cmr <- mapMCDA_datasets()
  dist_wb <- distance_to_vector(cmr$water_bodies, cmr$animal.density)
