lc.dist reports in km -- is it possible to report at meters? #24

Closed gsrednick closed 2 years ago

I am using lc.dist to measure distance between sites over-water. However, some of these sites are relatively close together (< 1 km). Is it possible to have lc.dist report in meters or perhaps report multiple decimal places? Obviously converting to meters from km when there are no decimal places after the fact is not a useful method.

Thank you!

I just updated the lc.dist() function with 2 new arguments to allow the computation of distances in meters and with a user defined rounding. Available now on github in marmap v1.0.6, and submitted to CRAN this morning.

Please let me know if it works for you. Best

Working. Thanks Benoit!
