Interface to 'Phylocom'

Interface to 'Phylocom' (< https://phylodiversity.net/phylocom/>), a library for analysis of 'phylogenetic' community structure and character evolution. Includes low level methods for interacting with the three executables, as well as higher level interfaces for methods like 'aot', 'ecovolve', 'bladj', 'phylomatic', and more.

Parse Messy Geographic Coordinates

Parse messy geographic coordinates from various character formats to decimal degree numeric values. Parse coordinates into their parts (degree, minutes, seconds); calculate hemisphere from coordinates; pull out individually degrees, minutes, or seconds; add and subtract degrees, minutes, and seconds. C++ code herein originally inspired from code written by Jeffrey D. Bogan, but then completely re-written.

R Interface to the 'DataONE' REST API

Provides read and write access to data and metadata from the 'DataONE' network < https://www.dataone.org> of data repositories. Each 'DataONE' repository implements a consistent repository application programming interface. Users call methods in R to access these remote repository functions, such as methods to query the metadata catalog, get access to metadata for particular data packages, and read the data objects from the data repository. Users can also insert and update data objects on repositories that support these methods.

Sparse and Dense Matrix Classes and Methods

A rich hierarchy of sparse and dense matrix classes, including general, symmetric, triangular, and diagonal matrices with numeric, logical, or pattern entries. Efficient methods for operating on such matrices, often wrapping the 'BLAS', 'LAPACK', and 'SuiteSparse' libraries.

Manage the Life Cycle of your Package Functions

Manage the life cycle of your exported functions with shared conventions, documentation badges, and user-friendly deprecation warnings.

Automatically Position Non-Overlapping Text Labels with 'ggplot2'

Provides text and label geoms for 'ggplot2' that help to avoid overlapping text labels. Labels repel away from each other and away from the data points.

Fast and Versatile Argument Checks

Tests and assertions to perform frequent argument checks. A substantial part of the package was written in C to minimize any worries about execution time overhead.

Update and Manipulate Rd Documentation Objects

Functions for manipulation of R documentation objects, including functions reprompt() and ereprompt() for updating 'Rd' documentation for functions, methods and classes; 'Rd' macros for citations and import of references from 'bibtex' files for use in 'Rd' files and 'roxygen2' comments; 'Rd' macros for evaluating and inserting snippets of 'R' code and the results of its evaluation or creating graphics on the fly; and many functions for manipulation of references and Rd files.

Simple Features for R

Support for simple feature access, a standardized way to encode and analyze spatial vector data. Binds to 'GDAL' for reading and writing data, to 'GEOS' for geometrical operations, and to 'PROJ' for projection conversions and datum transformations. Uses by default the 's2' package for geometry operations on geodetic (long/lat degree) coordinates.

Create Compact Hash Digests of R Objects

Implementation of a function 'digest()' for the creation of hash digests of arbitrary R objects (using the 'md5', 'sha-1', 'sha-256', 'crc32', 'xxhash', 'murmurhash', 'spookyhash', 'blake3', 'crc32c', 'xxh3_64', and 'xxh3_128' algorithms) permitting easy comparison of R language objects, as well as functions such as 'hmac()' to create hash-based message authentication code. Please note that this package is not meant to be deployed for cryptographic purposes for which more comprehensive (and widely tested) libraries such as 'OpenSSL' should be used.
