An R package for applying standardized file naming, directory structure, mapping, and metadata conventions to empirical Seed Transfer Zones (eSTZs).
The goal of this package is to standardize eSTZ documentation to accelerate the sharing of these resources among natural resource professionals.
eSTZwritR is available only on github.
It can be installed using remotes or devtools like so:
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('sagesteppe/eSTZwritR')
Once installed it can be attached for use like any other package from github or CRAN
library(eSTZwritR)
eSTZwritR requires only five user-facing functions to implement all data sharing conventions.
| Function | Purpose | Output |
|---|---|---|
| regionCoding | determine DOI Regions | Character string for file naming |
| dirmakR | create Directory | Directory, spatial data |
| mapmakR | create Map | PDF or png map (for publications) |
| fieldsmakR | ensure fields (columns) are named | sf object to local location |
| orderZones | ordering seed zone numbers | updated vector data, plot, summary |
A paper describing the impetus behind the creation of eSTZwritR, and broadly outlining it's functionality is available here (COMING SOON!).
A vignette showcasing the usage of the package is available here.
