Description of options

Data = Name | #Number

Specifies the coordinate matrix for which to create distances.

Distances = Yes | No

Controls whether to create a geographic distance matrix. This option is only used when the coordinates are two- or three-dimensional.

DistName = Name

Specifies the name for the geographic distance matrix. This name cannot be in use by another matrix already in memory.

Angles = Yes | No

Controls whether to create an angular distance matrix. This option is only used when the coordinates are two- or three-dimensional.

AngName = Name

Specifies the name for the angular distance matrix. This name cannot be in use by another matrix already in memory.

Measure = Euclidean | Spherical

For two-dimensional coordinates which are represented as longitude and latitude, this option controls whether the distances and angles are determined for Euclidean space of as great-circle distances/angles across the surface of a sphere.
