Overview

About

Maintained by Michael SumnerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

A collection of commonly used tools for animal movement and other tracking data. Variously distance, angle, bearing, distance-to, bearing-to and speed are provided for geographic data that can be used directly or within 'tidyverse' syntax. Distances and bearings are calculated using modern geodesic methods as provided by Charles F. F. Karney (2013) doi:10.1007/s00190-012-0578-z via the 'geographiclib' package.

Changes in 0.4.0

Package repository has changed to now https://github.com/AustralianAntarcticDivision/traipse, for issues and information.
traipse now depends on CRAN package geographiclib.
Entirely removed geosphere dependency.
Now using geographiclib, have equivalence for bearings, angles, and turns. Better accuracy now for

'track_intermediate()' on exact ellipsoidal calculations.

Fixed: track_angle and track_turn now return all-NA for fewer than 3 input points.

Install

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

install.packages("traipse", 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("AustralianAntarcticDivision/traipse")

Development version from AustralianAntarcticDivision/traipse. 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-traipse

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-traipse

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-traipse

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.
