Hi there, I have two data sets, one of locations at different elevations (x,y,z) and the other of points that make up topographic contours (also x,y,z). I have used:
result<-apply(distppll(data2,cbind(topocon[-nrow(topocon),],topocon[-1,])),1,min) where 'data2' are my measurement coordinates (x, y) and 'topocon' are my topographic contours (x,y). While this gives me an output of the distance from each data point to the nearest topographic contour point, I would also like to output the 'z' value of the nearest topographic point to each data point. Does anyone know how I could go about this? Ideally what I would like to output is a matrix which has: data elevation (data2$z) distance to nearest contour elevation of nearest contour (topocon$z) Any help would be much appreciated, Sam -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Idetntifying-nearest-topographic-contours-to-data-points-tp3452462p3452462.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
