Remove Segments that are Smaller than the Connectivity Tolerance

Automatically detects and removes segments with total displacement (straight-line distance between endpoints) less than the connectivity tolerance. These segments do not serve any real purpose, are bypassed in routes, and cannot be dissolved.

removemicrosegs(rivers)

Arguments

rivers	The river network object to use.

Value

A new river network object with the specified segments connected (see rivernetwork)

Note

This function is called within cleanup, which is recommended in most cases.

Examples

data(abstreams0)
abstreams1 <- removemicrosegs(abstreams0)
#> Note: any point data already using the input river network must be re-transformed to river coordinates using xy2segvert() or ptshp2segvert().
