computeDistance {ggpedigree} | R Documentation |
Compute distance between two points
Description
This function calculates the distance between two points in a 2D space using Minkowski distance. It can be used to compute Euclidean or Manhattan distance. It is a utility function for calculating distances in pedigree layouts. Defaults to Euclidean distance if no method is specified.
Usage
computeDistance(method = "euclidean", x1, y1, x2, y2, p = NULL)
Arguments
method |
Character. Method of distance calculation. Options are "euclidean", "cityblock", and "Minkowski". |
x1 |
Numeric. X-coordinate of the first point. |
y1 |
Numeric. Y-coordinate of the first point. |
x2 |
Numeric. X-coordinate of the second point. |
y2 |
Numeric. Y-coordinate of the second point. |
p |
Numeric. The order of the Minkowski distance. If NULL, defaults to 2 for Euclidean and 1 for Manhattan. If Minkowski method is used, p should be specified. |
