Overview

About

Maintained by Matt GibbsCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Functions to speed up work flow for hydrological analysis. Focused on Australian climate data (SILO climate data), hydrological models (eWater Source) and in particular South Australia (https://water.data.sa.gov.au hydrological data).

Changes in 1.1.1

Fix SILOCheckConsistency() and SILOCorrectSite() failing with hydroTSM >= 0.8.0 (issue #2). daily2annual() now defaults to a character year index rather than a Date index; the affected calls now request a Date index explicitly (out.fmt="%Y-%m-%d") so date-axis plotting and arithmetic work across hydroTSM versions.
SILOCheckConsistency() double mass curve: the breakpoint confidence interval is now drawn as an error bar on the fitted line at the breakpoint, rather than at the top of the plot.
SILOCheckConsistency() breakpoint year labels are now robust when a confidence bound falls before the start of the record (previously produced a warning and an NA year).

Install

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

install.packages("SWTools", 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("matt-s-gibbs/SWTools")

Development version from matt-s-gibbs/SWTools. 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-swtools

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-SWTools

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-SWTools

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.
