Changelog • ggOceanMaps

ggOceanMaps 2.2 (development version on GitHub)

Add tests better explaining wrongly specified arguments
Update the user manual
Fix an issue with certain bathy.style abbreviations
qmap arguments did not match those of basemap: add bathy.alpha and downsample arguments to qmap
Fix an issue when trying to plot basemaps using plotly::ggplotly()
Fix an issue with . in file path
Fix an issue when plotting singular points
Fix basemap(c(-180, 180, -90, 90)) case and turn off automatic rotation when crossing the anti-meridian. A message is shown instead.
Turn off expand in ggplot2::coord_sf() to avoid an error when having map border at 0 meridian.
Fix a case where data argument produced too wide boundaries
expand.factor should work now as designed
Fix an error in dist2land(binary = TRUE)
get_depth() now uses raster_user and returns depths as positive numeric.
Fix an issue where land boundaries did not get clipped correctly when using custom crs

CRAN release: 2023-08-30

Fix a bug in bathy.style wording.
Add get_depth() function.
Fix a critical issue with downloads failing on Windows.
Add detailed land shapes of Europe. Can be used by basemap(shapefiles = "Europe")

CRAN release: 2023-07-04

Full sf integration. Old GIS packages for R and ggspatial dependencies removed. Since this change required rewriting of most functions, new bugs have almost certainly been introduced.
Bathymetry system redesigned (see this)
Decimal degree maps can now be plotted across the antimeridian.
Added spatial data to ggOceanMaps making the ggOceanMapsData package not needed any longer.
dist2land() now uses great circle distances on a spherical Earth (s2) by default and should be able to calculate distances to land anywhere around the globe.
qmap points turned red. Addressed a long-standing issue with shapefiles and shape getting mixed.
Fixed a bug with shapefiles argument shortcut.
Fixed a bug in ices_data
Added sf support for clip_shapefile
Added sf support for shapefiles (converts to sp, needs to be refined)
Fixed a bug with expanded limits in decimal degree projection
Fixed a bug where shapefile_list(“all”) would return multiple rows per shapefile name.

CRAN release: 2022-09-26

Added shapefiles to the x argument shortcut in basemap().
Added limits to premade shapefiles to make visualization easier.
Removed many CRS warning from sp and rgdal
Added a way to control the plotting order of graticules
Added transparency (alpha) scaling to bathymetry fill
Added GEBCO bathymetry which is more detailed than the ArcticSterographic.
Added EMODnet bathymetry which is more detailed than GEBCO for the Northeast Atlantic
Improved vignette and webpage:
- Added a way to control the plotting order of graticules.
- New design
- Added vignettes
Added ICES and Norwegian directorate of fisheries areas.

CRAN release: 2022-01-08

added x argument to basemap() and qmap()
Conversion from PROJ4 to PROJ6. This change will make the old ggOceanMapsData files incompatible with ggOceanMaps 1.2 and vice versa. Changed most functions.
Added NEWS.md
Improved premade_shapefiles and shapefile documentation.
Started rewriting the package from sp, rgeos and rgdal to sf.
Moved the rgdal package from Imports to Suggests.
Added geonorge_bathymetry()
Added the possiblity to adjust data limits using the expand.factor parameter in basemap() and qmap()
Improved the user manual and website.
Fixed an issue with other than decimal degree input rasters in raster_bathymetry()
Fixed an issue with ggplot2 (>=3.3.4)

CRAN release: 2021-05-21

Started replacing the PROJ4 system by the PROJ6 wkt based system by replacing “+init=epsg:NNNN” strings by “EPSG:NNNN”. Did not finish the conversion.

CRAN release: 2021-01-14

First CRAN release. Contains the core of the package code rewritten from PlotSvalbard
