\usage{
is_linepoint(l)
}
\arguments{
\item{l}{A spatial lines object}
}
\description{
OD matrices often contain 'intrazonal' flows, where the origin is the same point as the
destination. This function can help identify such intrazonal OD pairs, using 2 criteria:
the total number of vertices (2 or fewer) and whether the origin and destination are the same.
}
\details{
Returns a boolean vector. TRUE means that the associated line is in fact a point
(has no distance). This can be useful for removing data that will not be plotted.
}
\examples{
islp <- is_linepoint(flowlines_sf)
nrow(flowlines_sf)
sum(islp)
# Remove invisible 'linepoints'
nrow(flowlines_sf[!islp, ])
