Curvilinear length of a streamline

get_curvilinear_length() is a function that computes the total arc-length of a streamline object as the sum of Euclidean segment lengths between consecutive points.

Usage

get_curvilinear_length(x)

Arguments

x

A streamline object.

Value

A non-negative numeric scalar.

Examples

sl <- streamline(points = cbind(X = runif(10), Y = runif(10), Z = runif(10)))
get_curvilinear_length(sl)
