Arguments

spdf

SpatialPointsDataFrame object representing moving agents.

Examples

sp1 <- SpatialPointsDataFrame(coords = cbind(x = c(1, 2, 3), y = c(1, 2, 3)),
                              data = cbind.data.frame(age = c(0, 0, 3),
                                                      sex = c("F", "F", "M")))
t1 <- spdf2turtles(spdf = sp1)
