Overview

About

Maintained by Giuseppe CarlinoCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: Simularia

A set of tools developed at Simularia for Simularia, to help preprocessing and post-processing of meteorological and air quality data.

Changes in 3.1.0

New feature: contourPlot2() utilizes the coordinates extent of a geo-referenced TIFF basemap file. If plot limits are not provided, use the basemap extent to set them. If xlim or ylim are provided, the basemap is automatically cropped.
contourPlot2(): now deprecates background in favour of basemap.
contourPlot2() now deprecates domain in favour of xlim, ylim and nticks.
contourPlot2() now deprecates bare in favour of theme_void.
New function: turnerStabilityClass() to compute PGT stability class with Turner method.
Removed dependency on reshape2 package.
In plotStabilityClass(), fixed a bug when input data is a *tibble*.
In plotAvgRad(), fixed a bug where the bars at hours 0 and 23 were not always shown.

Install

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

install.packages("simulariatools", 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("Simularia/simulariatools")

Development version from Simularia/simulariatools. 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-simulariatools

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-simulariatools

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-simulariatools

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.
