Differences between ctfs and the CTFS R package

• Function names: replaced “.” by “_" in the names of some functions to overcome conflicts with R’s S3 system (http://adv-r.had.co.nz/OO-essentials.html#s3).

• Documentation: edited some documentation to make it clearer, or added documentation that was missing (e.g. some arguments where documented in some but not all functions that used those arguments).

• ctfs is an R package sensu stricto, but not the CTFS R Package.

  • To install ctfs see the section Installation and to learn how to use it see help files as you would normally do for any R package, i.e. with help(FUNCTION) or ?FUNCTION. Alternatively, go to https://forestgeo.github.io/ctfs/.

  • To install the CTFS R Package and to learn how to use it, go to http://ctfs.si.edu/Public/CTFSRPackage/.

• Added some functions, to facilitate development. E.g. to identify undocumented arguments, or to build a website automatically. These functions are in R/ft-*.R, where * is anything. These functions depend on some packages additional to those on which the original CTFS R Package depend (such packages are now declared in DESCRIPTIONS, under Imports: or Suggests:).
