Details for implementation of placeStationsInWater() function

[damianooldoni]

As discussed with @hugomflavio, I summarize specs for developing the placeStationsInWater() function which will place stations located out of the river body at the nearest point of the river body:

• function name: placeStationsInWater
• check whether the function geosphere::dist2Line() used for this projection can be replaced by a function of gdistance package
• add a verbose option for getting all info returned, distances to river body included
• return warning mentioning the distance if distance higher than argument distance.warning (buffer): default value 100m?
• return error if distance higher than argument distance.error: default value 1km
• check that distance.error >= distance.warning

The interactive map to check the effects of this function is a nice-to-have feature as well and should be added as a plot function where the receivers and the projections are given as a list. In this way we avoid to add leaflet to the actel dependencies. Check plot.R.

Hi @hugomflavio. This is still on my official to do list of 2022 even if it got enormously delayed due to too much work for a big European project (which pays my bills) and a second baby born on May 2022.

May I still do it, please? I will do my best to plan it for Dec 2022.
