Change log of the R
package ‘rgplates’
rgplates 0.4.1 - 2024-08-19
Added
- The
checkgws()
, getgws()
and
setgws()
functions that allow the customization of the
remote location of the GPlates Web Service.
Changed
- Docs updated to reflect repo transfer to
https://github.com/gplates
rgplates 0.4.0 - 2024-02-02
- “Wondering Continents”
Added
- New suggested package ‘httr2’ to be used with the online method (see
changed), which allows the customized usage of HTTP requests.
- The
from
argument for reconstruct()
,
providing explicit support for forward reconstruction. The argumentation
from!=0, age=0 (default)
, calculates present-day
coordinates of past coordinates. The argumentation
from!=0, age!=0
calculates shifted positions of coordinates
at different times (age
) than their original
(from
).
- Support for missing values (
NA
) for the point
reconstructions, which no longer trigger an error, but are rather
propagated through the pipeline as missing values.
- The
warn
argument of reconstruct()
,
allowing users to switch off warnings that indicate that
paleocoordinates are off the partitioning polygons.
- The
anchor
argument of reconstruct()
,
allowing users to change the anchor plate for the online submodule. This
is necessary for toggling the paleomagnetic reference frame of the
"TorsvikCocks2017"
model in the GWS.
- The former
plateperiod
(now: validtime
)
argument is usable with the GPlates Web Service and the online
reconstruction method.
Changed
- Online reconstruction method (with GWS) now uses the HTTP POST
method for points and sends coordinates as form data. Internals were
changed accordingly. This allows the processing of theoretically
unlimited number of coordinates.
- Online reconstruction method (with GWS) is no longer bound to
integer ages.
- Point reconstruction results (
matrix
and
data.frame
objects) now consistently have the column names
paleolong
and paleolat
for past coordinates,
and long
and lat
for present-day
coordinates.
- The
plateperiod
argument was renamed to
validtime
for better semantic compatibility with the
GPlates Web Service.
Fixed
- Online reconstruction was not working when the package was not
attached due to issue of the checking of the valid input.
Deleted
- The ‘chunk’ argument of
reconstruct()
was deprecacted
and is scheduled for omission.
rgplates 0.3.2 - 2023-09-06
![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.8321157.svg)
Fixed
- Bug fix for windows paths in the offline reconstruction methods
rgplates 0.3.1 - 2023-08-09
![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.8229554.svg)
Added
- The
gws
data object that includes details about the
reconstructable features in the GPlates Web services
- Routines to check user entry to the GPlates Web Service with the
gws
Object.
- The
platemodel
class now accepts feature descriptions
as a data.frame
. This allows the inclusion of valid age
ranges for the reconstruction of feature collections.
- Simon Williams as contributor, as his code was the basis for
accessing the GWS
- import of
utils::data()
Fixed
- Minor bug that did not allow topological features to be
reconstructed.
- Minor bug that occurred when
enumerate=FALSE
and cases
when the target age
included NA
s
- An error that occurred when
plateperiod=TRUE
, the
target age went beyond the duration of the plates and no coordinates
were returned by the GPlates Desktop Application.
rgplates 0.3.0 - 2023-06-29
![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.8098723.svg)
Added
- The
platemodel
class now accepts multiple feature
collections. These can be recontructed by setting the x
argument of recontruct()
.
Changed
- The interface of the
reconstruct()
function now matches
that of the GPlates web service. Use "static_polygons"
instead of "plates"
.
- The
plateperiod
argument of reconstruct()
now defaults to TRUE
- Documentation to reflect models avialble through the GPlates web
service
- Changed default method of online reconstruction to
"MERDITH2021"
Removed
- unnecessary imports from
utils
rgplates 0.2.1 - 2023-03-08
![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.8094071.svg)
Added
- the
mapedge()
function
- function website assets
Changed
- example data switched to PaleoMAP v3
rgplates 0.2.0 - 2022-09-19
![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.8094042.svg)
Added
- Package now depends on the sustainable ‘sf’-based interface to
GPLates
- Defense against non-integer reconstruction dates for the online
method.
- Support for ‘sf’ type objects for the online reconstruction
method
- defense against decimal ages for online reconstruction method.
- Support for all ’Spatial*’ objects (sp) in the offline
reconstruction method
- The ‘gmeta’ argument of the local reconstruction submodule and sf
output.
Changed
- All spatial outputs now default to sf instead of Spatial* types
- online reconstruction method now suggests the ‘geojsonsf’ extension
package for reading in features
Removed
- dependency of deprecated ‘rgdal’ extension
- Support for polygons for the online reconstruction method.
Known issues
- Matrix-based reconstructinos do not accept missing values.
