Distance Map
Compute the distance map of an object, and return it as a pixel image. Generic.

Any suitable dataset representing a two-dimensional

The “distance map” of a set of points A is the function
f whose value f(x)
is defined for any two-dimensional
location x as the shortest distance from x to A.
This function computes the distance map of the set X
and returns the distance map as a pixel image.
This is generic. Methods are provided for
point patterns (distmap.ppp
),
line segment patterns (distmap.psp
)
and windows (distmap.owin
).
A pixel image (object of class "im"
) whose grey scale values
are the values of the distance map.
