Utilities for Graphical Rendering and Fonts Management

Tools are provided to compute metrics of formatted strings and to check the availability of a font. Another set of functions is provided to support the collection of fonts from 'Google Fonts' in a cache. Their use is simple within 'R Markdown' documents and 'shiny' applications but also with graphic productions generated with the 'ggiraph', 'ragg' and 'svglite' packages or with tabular productions from the 'flextable' package.

R Inputs/Outputs for Tractography

An input-output interface for reading in and writing out common VTK formats that store tractography data. This data comes in the form of 3D polygons with possibly attributes at each point. These are obtained via tracking algorithms from diffusion MRI and are a non-invasive way of studying brain structural connectivity.

C++ Interface to PostgreSQL

Fully DBI-compliant C++-backed interface to PostgreSQL < https://www.postgresql.org/>, an open-source relational database.

Split, Combine and Compress PDF Files

Bindings to 'qpdf': 'qpdf' (< https://qpdf.sourceforge.io/>) is a an open-source PDF rendering library that allows to conduct content-preserving transformations of PDF files such as split, combine, and compress PDF files.

Open Source OCR Engine

Bindings to 'tesseract': 'tesseract' (< https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract>) is a powerful optical character recognition (OCR) engine that supports over 100 languages. The engine is highly configurable in order to tune the detection algorithms and obtain the best possible results.

Open 'ModPlug' Tracker Port

Tracker music uses audio samples and pattern tables to organise musical compositions. Such music is stored in module files. This package reads, renders and plays module files using the 'libopenmpt' library < https://lib.openmpt.org/>.

'NoSQL' Database Connector

Simplified JSON document database access and manipulation, providing a common API across supported 'NoSQL' databases 'Elasticsearch', 'CouchDB', 'MongoDB' as well as 'SQLite/JSON1', 'PostgreSQL', and 'DuckDB'.

'Rcpp' Bindings for the 'Corpus Workbench' ('CWB')

'Rcpp' Bindings for the C code of the 'Corpus Workbench' ('CWB'), an indexing and query engine to efficiently analyze large corpora (< https://cwb.sourceforge.io>). 'RcppCWB' is licensed under the GNU GPL-3, in line with the GPL-3 license of the 'CWB' (< https://www.r-project.org/Licenses/GPL-3>). The 'CWB' relies on 'pcre2' (BSD license, see < https://github.com/PCRE2Project/pcre2/blob/master/LICENCE.md>) and 'GLib' (LGPL license, see < https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.en.html>). See the file LICENSE.note for further information. The package includes modified code of the 'rcqp' package (GPL-2, see < https://cran.r-project.org/package=rcqp>). The original work of the authors of the 'rcqp' package is acknowledged with great respect, and they are listed as authors of this package. To achieve cross-platform portability (including Windows), using 'Rcpp' for wrapper code is the approach used by 'RcppCWB'.

Database Interface and MariaDB Driver

Implements a DBI-compliant interface to MariaDB (< https://mariadb.org/>) and MySQL (< https://www.mysql.com/>) databases.

Generic Coordinate System Transformations Using 'PROJ'

A wrapper around the generic coordinate transformation software 'PROJ' that transforms coordinates from one coordinate reference system ('CRS') to another. This includes cartographic projections as well as geodetic transformations. The intention is for this package to be used by user-packages such as 'reproj', and that the older 'PROJ.4' and version 5 pathways be provided by the 'proj4' package.
