Overview

About

Maintained by Rasmus Puggaard-RodeCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Quickly and easily generate plots of acoustic data aligned with transcriptions similar to those made in 'Praat' using either derived signals generated directly in R with 'wrassp' or imported derived signals from 'Praat'. Provides easy and fast out-of-the-box solutions but also a high extent of flexibility. Also provides options for embedding audio in figures and animating figures.

Changes in 1.9.0

Added the argument suppressAxes to praatpicture() and sister functions,

which suppresses all axes, axis labels, and the box drawn around plots and plot

components.

Replaced deprecated soundgen frequency scale conversion functions.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("praatpicture", 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("rpuggaardrode/praatpicture")

Development version from rpuggaardrode/praatpicture. 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-praatpicture

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
