title: 'areaOfEffect: Classify Points by Distance to Polygon Boundaries'
version: 0.2.5
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.areaOfEffect
abstract: Classifies spatial points relative to polygon boundaries, labeling each
  point as "core" (inside), "halo" (in a buffer zone), or pruning it (outside both).
  Handles projection, buffering, and point-in-polygon operations automatically. The
  default buffer produces equal core and halo areas, providing a scale-independent
  definition of "near the boundary." An optional mask clips the buffer to relevant
  areas such as coastlines.
