Overview

About

Maintained by Héctor VillalobosCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Easily import multi-frequency acoustic data stored in 'HAC' files (see doi:10.17895/ices.pub.5482 for more information on the format), and produce echogram visualisations with predefined or customized color palettes. It is also possible to merge consecutive echograms; mask or delete unwanted echogram areas; model and subtract background noise; and more important, develop, test and interpret different combinations of frequencies in order to perform acoustic filtering of the echogram's data.

Changes in 0.1.3

Rd cross-references fixed
Several changes to echogram() and palette.echogram() functions:

Color scheme defaults to parula (from pals package).

When Svmax is used, Sv[Sv > Svmax] <- Svmax.

xref renamed to x.ref and now its options are "pings", "nmi", and "seconds". when x.ref = 'seconds', the user can define the format ('tformat') for ping time, according to notation of conversion specifications described in strptime().

It is now possible to select the number of colors (col.nb), as an alternative to defining color separation (col.sep).

Arguments depth.grid and x.grid allow to customize depth, and ping (time or distance) labels.

If detected bottom is present in the data, with seabed = TRUE can be added to the echogram.

depth.max, ping.ini and ping.max allow to visualise parts of the echogram.

Install

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

install.packages("echogram", 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("hvillalo/echogram")

Development version from hvillalo/echogram. 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-echogram

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-echogram

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-echogram

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.
