Description: Provides classes and functions to calculate various
        distance measures and routes in heterogeneous geographic spaces
        represented as grids. The package implements measures to model
        dispersal histories first presented by van Etten and Hijmans
        (2010) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0012060>. Least-cost distances
        as well as more complex distances based on (constrained) random
        walks can be calculated. The distances implemented in the
        package are used in geographical genetics, accessibility
        indicators, and may also have applications in other fields of
        geospatial analysis.
