Build a buffer around the a set of geographical coordinates and take a random point around the buffer. The function is used to omit the precise location of tricot participants but keeping a close distance to its agro-environment
rmGeoIdentity(longlat, dist = 0.015, nQuadSegs = 2L, ...)a data.frame or matrix with geographical coordinates long lat
numeric, buffer distance for all lonlat
integer, number of segments per quadrant
further arguments passed to sf methods
A data frame with the random coordinates long lat whithin a pre-defined buffer
if (FALSE) { # interactive()
xy <- matrix(c(11.097799, 60.801090,

nrow = 3, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE)
