Provides graphical user interface components to explore stable isotope data files using the 'isoreader2' package, including browsing, visualizing, and exporting isotope data.

Changes in 0.5.0

Requires **isoreader2 (>= 0.7.0)** and adopts its new plotting API.
Continuous flow plots now call ir_plot_traces() (isoreader2 renamed ir_plot_continuous_flow()), both for the plot itself and in the generated code.
The **Color by** option gained a (default) choice, which is now the initial one: the colour aesthetic is left to isoreader2 entirely, so an intensity trace and its ratios share a colour and a single legend entry (CO2: 45, 45/44). Picking trace gives every trace its own colour and legend entry, as before. The generated code emits color = ... only when you override the default.
The mass / ratio checkboxes no longer filter the plotted data in the app. The selection is passed to the plot functions as their own species = / mass = / ratio = arguments and isoreader2 does the sub-selecting, so the plot and the generated code can no longer disagree about what is shown. Both arguments default to everything(), so they are emitted only when the selection is narrowed.

Show all changes in 0.5.0Hide the rest of the changes in 0.5.0

Fixed un-checking every **ratio** of a species still plotting all of its ratios. The ratio argument was simply omitted when nothing was selected, which the plot functions read as "all of them"; an empty selection is now passed explicitly as c().
Un-checking every **mass** while keeping a ratio checked now plots the ratios on their own (mass = c()) instead of an empty plot. Previously the app filtered the data by mass first, which removed the ratio rows too, since a ratio lives on the row of its numerator mass.

Install

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

install.packages("isoexplorer", 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("isoverse/isoexplorer")

Development version from isoverse/isoexplorer. 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-isoexplorer

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-isoexplorer

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-isoexplorer

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.
