Azimuth Between Profile Points

Usage

profile_azimuth(profile)

Arguments

profile

sf point object. First point marks the start point.

Value

numeric. Azimuth in degrees

Details

If only two points are given, the azimuth is calculated using triangulation from the tectonicr package. If more than two points are given, the azimuth is calculated using linear interpolation in the coordinate reference frame given by profile.
