Thx for doing it! Do you know what kind of format are available in https://www.naturalearthdata.com/features/ ?
|
|
This is what I have partially implemented but the back conversions break on some of the features, or are non-trivial. Types need to be correctly specified as there is no catch all as |
|
Yeah ... Can |
|
Thanks, this works. Build tests on my local machine are clean but I'm not sure how comprehensive unit tests are. |
|
Many thanks for your work @khufkens @defuneste @maelle |
|
As long as Would be happy to be mentioned as contributor, thanks! |
|
@rsbivand, can you give us your opinion to the question of @andysouth [" whether we should change default vector class from sp to sf"]? |

Try |

@khufkens Can you provide information (full name, email) so we can add you as a contributor? |

@PMassicotte for the DESCRIPTION file |
# rnaturalearth 1.0.1 # rnaturalearth 1.0.0 ## Breaking changes This is a breaking changes release that ends support to `sp` object in favour of more modern interfaces (`sf` and `terra`). Although that `sp` is still available on CRAN, it is no longer being actively developed (https://geocompx.org/post/2023/rgdal-retirement/). This is the main reason that motivated the choice to transition toward `sf` (the default) and `terra`. Users can choose either get an `sf` or `SpatVector` using the `returnclass` argument: ``` ne_countries(returnclass = "sf") ne_countries(returnclass = "sv") ``` Affected functions are `ne_countries()`, `ne_coastline()`, `ne_states()`, `ne_load()` and `ne_download()`. If changing the return type to `sf` creates too many problems to your existing code, you can still convert it back to `sp` : ``` countries <- ne_countries(returnclass = "sf") # option 1 sf::as_Spatial(countries) # option 2 as(countries, "Spatial") ``` More information about the retirement of `rgdal`, `rgeos` and `maptools`: https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/04/12/evolution.html ## Bugfix - Correctly downloading and reading raster object (#96, closes #52). # rnaturalearth 0.3.4 - This is a maintenance release that document/use the new special sentinel "\_PACKAGE". # rnaturalearth 0.3.3 - Using `lifecycle` to indicate that support of `sp` object will be eventually dropped. Users should now use `ne_download(returnclass = "sf")`, instead of `ne_download(returnclass = "sp")`. - `terra` is now included in the Imports section. # rnaturalearth 0.3.2 - Added new maintainer and contributors ([#62](ropensci/rnaturalearth#62)). - Using terra over raster ([#63](ropensci/rnaturalearth#63)) - See <https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/04/12/evolution.html#packages-depending-on-sp-and-raster> and <https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/12/14/evolution2.html#deprecations-in-retiring-packages> - Fixes broken data download links. Now using Amazon hosted URLs as - the primary source for downloading data - ([#48](ropensci/rnaturalearth#48), - [#64](ropensci/rnaturalearth#64)). # rnaturalearth 0.3.0 2021-10-11 - fix rnaturalearthhires installation #47 thank you Ian Taylor for #43 # rnaturalearth 0.2.0 - add to river options in ne_download() by adding to data_list_physical.csv fixing [#23](ropensci/rnaturalearth#23) - update data to new version [Natural Earth v4.1](https://www.naturalearthdata.com/blog/miscellaneous/natural-earth-v4-1-0-release-notes/) released May 2018.
This patches the
rasterdependency as raised by #60Follow up will deal with the
rgdal, which is more challenging.rgdaldeals with reading in shape files, and although this can be replaced bysfthe back conversions tospfor consistency are tedious duesp, well, not beingsf.
