Overview

About

Maintained by Gregory JefferisCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides function to read data from the 'Igor Pro' data analysis program by 'Wavemetrics'. The data formats supported are 'Igor' packed experiment format ('pxp') and 'Igor' binary wave ('ibw'). See: https://www.wavemetrics.com/ for details. Also includes functions to load special 'pxp' files produced by the 'Igor Pro' 'Neuromatic' and 'Nclamp' packages for recording and analysing neuronal data. See https://github.com/SilverLabUCL/NeuroMatic for details.

Changes in 0.9.0

fix: handling of Igor dates using timechange library (#6)
remove warnings due to recent changes in how readChar handles strings containing embedded nulls
fix URLs for CRAN
dev: switch to github actions for R CMD check and pkgdown (and remove travis)

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("IgorR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("jefferis/IgorR")

Development version from jefferis/IgorR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-igorr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-IgorR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-IgorR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
