Applications to a 2D system (e.g. lake or reservoir) #58

Open KevinSee opened 3 months ago

As a follow up to Issue #57 , what about calculating distances in a two-dimensional system like a lake or reservoir? Could be useful to folks who might be interested resident species or lake/reservoir systems.

Would this be an even more straightforward application of the calcDistance() function mentioned in #57 ? Where if you only supply a sf point object of sites, and no flowlines, it calculates Euclidean distance between the sites?

That is an interesting application of PITcleanr, and I don’t see why it shouldn’t be able to accommodate that kind of data. It would help me think about it if we had an example or two of data like that (e.g. from a lake/reservoir) and the kinds of questions someone might be trying to answer with PIT detections in a system like that.
