A Smaller 'codemetar' Package

The 'Codemeta' Project defines a 'JSON-LD' format for describing software metadata, as detailed at < https://codemeta.github.io>. This package provides core utilities to generate this metadata with a minimum of dependencies.

Render SVG Images into PDF, PNG, (Encapsulated) PostScript, or Bitmap Arrays

Renders vector-based svg images into high-quality custom-size bitmap arrays using 'librsvg2'. The resulting bitmap can be written to e.g. png, jpeg or webp format. In addition, the package can convert images directly to various formats such as pdf or postscript.

Advanced Graphics and Image-Processing in R

Bindings to 'ImageMagick': the most comprehensive open-source image processing library available. Supports many common formats (png, jpeg, tiff, pdf, etc) and manipulations (rotate, scale, crop, trim, flip, blur, etc). All operations are vectorized via the Magick++ STL meaning they operate either on a single frame or a series of frames for working with layers, collages, or animation. In RStudio images are automatically previewed when printed to the console, resulting in an interactive editing environment. Also includes a graphics device for creating drawing onto images using pixel coordinates.

HTTP Client

A simple HTTP client, with tools for making HTTP requests, and mocking HTTP requests. The package is built on R6, and takes inspiration from Ruby's 'faraday' gem (< https://rubygems.org/gems/faraday>). The package name is a play on curl, the widely used command line tool for HTTP, and this package is built on top of the R package 'curl', an interface to 'libcurl' (< https://curl.se/libcurl/>).

Provides Access to Git Repositories

Interface to the 'libgit2' library, which is a pure C implementation of the 'Git' core methods. Provides access to 'Git' repositories to extract data and running some basic 'Git' commands.

Text Mining using 'dplyr', 'ggplot2', and Other Tidy Tools

Using tidy data principles can make many text mining tasks easier, more effective, and consistent with tools already in wide use. Much of the infrastructure needed for text mining with tidy data frames already exists in packages like 'dplyr', 'broom', 'tidyr', and 'ggplot2'. In this package, we provide functions and supporting data sets to allow conversion of text to and from tidy formats, and to switch seamlessly between tidy tools and existing text mining packages.

World Vector Map Data from Natural Earth Used in 'rnaturalearth'

Vector map data from < https://www.naturalearthdata.com/>. Access functions are provided in the accompanying package 'rnaturalearth'.

'Entrez' in R

Provides an R interface to the NCBI's 'EUtils' API, allowing users to search databases like 'GenBank' < https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/> and 'PubMed' < https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/>, process the results of those searches and pull data into their R sessions.

Export Data Frames to Excel 'xlsx' Format

Zero-dependency data frame to xlsx exporter based on 'libxlsxwriter' < https://libxlsxwriter.github.io>. Fast and no Java or Excel required.

Validate 'JSON' Schema

Uses the node library 'is-my-json-valid' or 'ajv' to validate 'JSON' against a 'JSON' schema. Drafts 04, 06 and 07 of 'JSON' schema are supported.
