Hi,
I have a dataframe containing 3 columns:
data.frame(X=c(100,102,104,102,103),Y=c(12,14,14,13,16),Time=c(1,2,3,4,5))
where X and Y are coordinates and "Time" refers to an index of a timestep.
Now I would like to get the distance between the consecutive timesteps.
This should actually provide a vector of length=4, representing the euclidian
resp. geopgraphic distance between the first and the second, and the second
and the third timestep and so on...
Is there a simple way to calculate this and get the resulting vector
as a result?
Or can anyone give an example?
How about something like:
coords <-
data.frame(X=c(100,102,104,102,103),Y=c(12,14,14,13,16),Time=c(1,2,3,4,5))
with(coords, sqrt(diff(X)^2 + diff(Y)^2))
