abstract: 'Provides the facility to calculate non-isotropic accumulated cost surfaces,
  least-cost paths, least-cost corridors, least-cost networks, ranked alternative
  paths, cost allocation and cost boundaries, using a number of human-movement-related
  cost functions that can be selected by the user. The terrain factor can be set as
  a single value or vary across the landscape via a raster of terrain factors or terrain
  classes. The package is built around a compute-once design: a single cost surface
  object is created first and then reused by every analysis function, avoiding redundant
  computation. Visualisation is fully decoupled from computation and is provided through
  ''ggplot2'' methods that can be invoked, customised, and re-invoked at any time
  without re-running any analysis. It just requires a Digital Terrain Model, a start
  location and (optionally) destination locations. See Alberti (2019) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2019.100331>.'
