Spatial Analysis For Ecologists (SAFE)

version 03 (SAFE-v03), (Hartley, S.)

It accepts files of point locations, e.g. ID, x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and will calculate and save-to-file:

  • A matrix of inter-point distances
  • The number of separate clusters defined by a maximum spanning distance
  • The number of other points within a specified radius of each and every point
  • The number of other points within a specified size square centred over each and every point
  • The number of points within each grid cell, where the grid origin and resolution can be specified
