Extract from class object ltraj.

Thanks a lot. It works perfectly fine! Though I don't know how to arrange
that into a column, I shall find something not too time consuming.

Hi everyone,

I am working on class object "ltraj" mainly using the package Adehabitat
HT
and LT.
Is there a way to extract from this class object the distances between
relocations ("dist")? I am pretty sure that it is possible and it has to
be
easy, but I am probably missing something. I tried the following though:

ltrj.obj <- as.ltraj(xy, date = dates, id = data$name, infolocs =
data.frame(idnr = data$idnr))
str(ltrj.obj)

List of 1

distance <- ltrj.obj$data.frame$dist

You're conflating class and name.

A ltraj object is a list of data frames. Your list happens to only
have one data frame, but there can be many. That data frame has 10
columns, and str() gives the names, as would
names(ltrj.obj[[1]])

length(ltrj.obj) # should be 1, based on the output you showed

ltrj.obj[[1]]$dist

will give you what you're looking for, as would

ltrj.obj[[1]][['dist']]
