Hi @jhollist -- quick question -- do you have any plans to add terra support for the elevatr package?

jhollist commented

I do have plans for some fairly extensive re-factoring. Removing sp entirely. I haven't been paying too much attention to the development of terra or stars, but figuring out what to do about raster was on the list too.

So short answer is more or less, yes! Just not sure of the timing at the moment.

Great -- I asked because I want to add elevatr to the chapter 7 of the Geocomputation with R book. Let me know if you need some help with the refactoring.

I am taking a pretty close look at my schedule coming up and hoping to chunk out some time just for elevatr! This is at the top of the list,

All, see #83 (comment) I am slowly getting there. Hope to have something that resembles a working version in main this week.

@jhollist Thanks for working on that. I will add elevatr to the data packages table in Geocompr ed2.

Thanks for waiting for me @Nowosad. Took me long enough to get to it. I expect another update in the next 6 months or so to Version 1.0 that will make the final switch and return SpatRasters instead of RasterLayers. I kept that last part in to give folks time to get ready for that switch.
