Set minimum z-axis values from a raster
Set the lower bounds in the z-dimension for each location in the x and y dimensions from a raster.
setMinimumZfromRaster(mkde.obj, raster.layer)
mkde.obj | 
 A 2D or 3D MKDE object created with
  | 
raster.layer | 
 A RasterLayer object representing the lower bounds of the space the animal may occupy in the z-dimension.  | 
This function sets the lower bounds of the space the animal may occupy
in the z-dimension. For example, the ascii.raster.file argument
may represent a raster for elevation, depth of the sea floor, or other
surface.
An updated MKDE list object is returned.
