discrete_gradient {StratPal} | R Documentation |
construct discretized gradient
Description
Constructs a discretized gradient along time/height. The gradient value between
bounds[i]
and bounds[i+1]
(not including) is vals[i]
, values above/below the largest/smallest value of bounds
are assigned outval
.
Helper function for usage with discrete_niche
Usage
discrete_gradient(vals, bounds, outval = "")
Arguments
vals |
vector, values of the gradient |
bounds |
vector of strictly increasing values, e.g. times or stratigraphic heights. |
outval |
value, gradient value assigned outside of values covered by |
Value
a functions assigning continuous values (e.g., times or heights) discrete niches
