Hello I was wondering if there is a way in "R" or "sp" to calculate shortest distance from a given object such as a river, similar to the data example "meuse.grid" under the gstat package. I was wondering how the "dist" variable in the "meuse.grid" file was orignially calculated? I would like to perform a similar calculation as shortest distance for each point in a field (1m x 1m grid) from an irrigation channel for which I have generated a shape file. Or is such an operation better performed in a GIS environment?
