Interface package for 'sala', the spatial network analysis library from the 'depthmapX' software application. The R parts of the code are based on the 'rdepthmap' package. Allows for the analysis of urban and building-scale networks and provides metrics and methods usually found within the Space Syntax domain. Methods in this package are described by K. Al-Sayed, A. Turner, B. Hillier, S. Iida and A. Penn (2014) "Space Syntax methodology", and also by A. Turner (2004) < https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/2651> "Depthmap 4: a researcher's handbook".
An R package for spatial network analysis. Based on the rdepthmap package and leveraging the sala library from depthmapX
install.packages("alcyon")
Windows users might need to also install Rtools
A demonstration of the package took place in the “Space syntax analysis in R” workshop of the 12th International Space Syntax Symposium (SSS12) in China on the 8th of July 2019, the content of which you may find here.
Make sure that git hooks are enabled, to avoid committing minor issues:
git config --local core.hooksPath .githooks/
To be able to do all development tasks (including testing and linting) all these packages are necessary:
install.packages(c('sf', 'stars', 'rmarkdown', 'devtools', 'spelling', 'lintr', 'Rcpp', 'knitr', 'testthat', 'withr', 'cyclocomp', 'httr'))
Do not change configure directly, instead change configure.ac and run autoconf
To force enable OpenMP if R was not built with it, install the source package with:
install.packages("alcyon", configure.args = "--enable-force-openmp")
