[R-sig-Geo] Ideas on qualifying urban shapes: linear / circular / star

[Sarah Goslee]

Fragstats used to be more freely available; too bad the source version
is no longer available. It hasn't been supported for a very long time,
but used to be downloadable anyway.

Regardless, if I were going to implement that functionality in R, I would
start with the r.le code from GRASS GIS. Using the R-GRASS would
give you almost the same effect, but only if you already use GRASS.
