Our contribution presents the state of the art of distance-based methods employed in economic geography and which are also used in ecology. Topographic functions such as Ripley{\textquoteright}s K, absolute functions such as Duranton and Overman{\textquoteright}s Kd and relative functions such as Marcon and Puech{\textquoteright}s M are implemented. Their confidence envelopes (including global ones) and tests against counterfactuals are included in the package. {\textcopyright} 2015, American Statistical Association.
