Report the distances between agents and agents2.

NLdist(agents, agents2, world, torus = FALSE, allPairs = FALSE)

# S4 method for matrix,matrix
NLdist(agents, agents2, world, torus = FALSE,
allPairs = FALSE)

## Arguments

agents Matrix (ncol = 2) with the first column "pxcor" and the second column "pycor" representing the patches coordinates, or AgentMatrix object representing the moving agents. Matrix (ncol = 2) with the first column "pxcor" and the second column "pycor" representing the patches coordinates, or AgentMatrix object representing the moving agents, or Matrix (ncol = 2) with the first column "x and the second column "y" representing locations coordinates. WorldMatrix or worldArray object. Logical to determine if the world is wrapped. Default is torus = FALSE. Logical. Only relevant if the number of agents/locations in agents and in agents2 are the same. If allPairs = FALSE, the distance between each agents with the corresponding agents2 is returned. If allPairs = TRUE, a full distance matrix is returned. Default is allPairs = FALSE.

## Value

Numeric. Vector of distances between agents and agents2 if agents and/or agents2 contained one agent/location, or if agents and agents2 contained the same number of agents/locations and allPairs = FALSE, or

Matrix of distances between agents (rows) and agents2 (columns) if agents and agents2 are of different lengths, or of same length and allPairs = TRUE.

## Details

Distances from/to a patch are measured from/to its center.

If torus = FALSE, world does not need to be provided.

If torus = TRUE, a distance around the sides of the world is reported only if smaller than the one across the world.
