Neighbourhoods - allow user specified matrix of neighbourhoods #83

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Neighbourhoods are specified using a set of subroutines to find groups that
satisfy the spatial conditions specified by the user.  

In some cases the user will develop neighbourhoods outside of Biodiverse,
for example using a GIS or other spatial analysis tool.  

It should be possible to use these in the analysis when specified.

One idea is to use the GeoDa format.  It uses FIDs so we would need to enable a 
remap table to match the IDs to the records.  

This is also a good way of allowing polygon contiguity in Biodiverse without 
needing to implement the functionality.
