Measures the distance of each cell to the nearest MPA edge and to all MPA cells

Source: R/get_mpa_distances.R
get_distance_to_mpas.Rd

Measures the distance of each cell to the nearest MPA edge and to all MPA cells

Usage

get_distance_to_mpas(mpa_locations, resolution, patch_area = 10)

Arguments

mpa_locations

a dataframe with at least column coordinate columns x,y,and mpa (TRUE or FALSE)

resolution

the resolution of the simulation system. Can supply a vector c(x,y) to denote an X by Y system, or one number to denote an X by X system

patch_area

the area of each patch

Value

a dataframe with two columns added. distance_to_mpa_edge measures the distance from each patch to the nearest MPA edge in units of sqrt(patch_area), with negative values indicating areas inside an MPA total_mpa_distance measure to total distance to all MPA cells from each patch, in units of sqrt(patch_area)
