[tlocoh-info] Hull metrics

[Andy Lyons]

Hi Julia,

That's a good question. It seems you need a way to identify hulls that 
belong to specific sites, and save the site location as an ancillary 
variable (which can then serve as a hull metric). There isn't a function 
currently in the package that can classify points or hulls based on 
their location in space, but we could develop one because I think this 
would have general utility.

How specifically would you want to assign points / hulls to sites? One 
option for defining a site would be with a polygon, either by drawing 
one on the plot window or bringing in a shapefile. Another option would 
be defining a site based on distance from a given location (i.e., a 
circle). After defining the site, would you want to say that any point 
(and thus the hull for that point) that falls within the site? Or would 
you only want hulls whose entire area falls within the site?

Comment from other people welcome also.

Thanks.

Andy
