David O'Sullivan and I had a go at using VGA on landscapes. We didn't
really manage to conclude that much from it: VGA integration is all but
meaningless (extending any area outwards may find another peak, and any
peak drastically increases VGA integration). VGA clustering coefficient is
quite interesting as it picks out troughs and ridges -- but: a) this has to
be taken in the light of a huge amount of research into viewshed analysis,
and b) is it space syntax?
