[R-sig-Geo] "no applicable method" for focal() function in raster

[Ben Tupper]

Hello,

Unfortunately your email client formatted your message in HTML so the
content has been scrambled.  Best results experienced when the client is
configured to send plain text.

I think that issues is that lsm_l_condent() is expecting a raster (or
similar input).  See
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/landscapemetrics/landscapemetrics.pdf

Raster's focal() function slides along the raster pulling out cell values
(coincident with your focal window) and passes them to the function you
specify.  So as the docs for raster::focal descriibe, that function must be
configured to "take multiple numbers, and return a single number."
 landscapremetrics::lsm_l_condent is not configured that way.

Perhaps you need to create your own version of the function that just
operates on an input of numbers rather than an input of raster-like objects?

Cheers,
Ben
