Overview

About

Maintained by Yana OutkinCRAN page ↗

Plots traced ultrasound tongue imaging data according to a polar coordinate system. There is currently support for plotting means and standard deviations of each category's trace; Smoothing Splines Analysis of Variance (SSANOVA) could be implemented as well. The origin of the polar coordinates may be defined manually or automatically determined based on different algorithms. Points for each category can be split into two groups (anterior and posterior) at the point of maximum curvature of each trace. User can specify rays to intersect various parts of the tongue; intersections along these rays serve as input for a pairwise t-test to measure significant contrasts between segments. Currently 'ultrapolaRplot' supports ultrasound tongue imaging trace data from 'UltraTrace' (https://github.com/SwatPhonLab/UltraTrace). 'UltraTrace' is capable of importing data from Articulate Instruments AAA. 'read_textgrid.R' is required for opening TextGrids to determine category and alignment information of ultrasound traces.

Install

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

install.packages("ultrapolaRplot", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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-ultrapolarplot

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-ultrapolaRplot

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-ultrapolaRplot

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.
