For example, the Zevenbergen and Thorne method to compute the slope is missing.

Equally, many other terrain and GIS functions are **not** implemented in R such as curvatures, contributing areas, different wetness indexes, and many more.

Fortunately, desktop GIS commonly provide these algorithms.

For example, one might want to compute the distance to the nearest coast (see also `raster::distance()`).
785784
We might also want to consider topography, that means, we are not only interested in the pure distance but would like also to avoid the crossing of mountain ranges when going to the coast.
786785
To do so, we can weight the distance with elevation so that each additional altitudinal meter 'prolongs' the euclidean distance.

Many map algebra operations have a counterpart in vector processing [@liu_essential_2009].

Computing a distance raster (zonal operation) while only considering a maximum distance (logical focal operation) is the equivalent to a vector buffer operation (section \@ref(clipping)).
