MazamaSpatialUtils 0.8.7

Added a new set of country code conversion functions whose names match those for state and county conversions:

• countryCodeToName()
• countryCodeToFIPS()
• countryFIPSToName()
• countryCodeToCode()
• countryNameToCode()
• countryNameToFIPS()

These are now preferred over the older codeToCountry() and countryToCode() functions which, while deprecated, are still supported for backwards compatibility.

MazamaSpatialUtils 0.8.6

• Addressed CRAN package documentation issue.
• Package-internal datasets can be loaded by getCountryCode() and getTimezone() without invoking library MazamaSpatialUtils.

MazamaSpatialUtils 0.8.5

• Tweaks to satisfy CRAN submission checks.

MazamaSpatialUtils 0.8.4

• Added dependency on sf.

This addresses the following error seen when using internal data in a dplyr context:

> IS <- SimpleCountriesEEZ %>% dplyr::filter(countryCode == "IS")
Error in `vec_size()`:
! `x` must be a vector, not a <sfc_MULTIPOLYGON/sfc> object.

This error is explained here: https://www.mm218.dev/posts/2022-12-01-sf-in-packages/ and the simplest solution for this spatially-oriented package is to simply move sf from an import to a dependency (by moving it to the “Depends:” section of DESCRIPTION).

MazamaSpatialUtils 0.8.3

• Added handling of “Sparse geometry binary predicate list of length 1” error in getSpatialData() by simply choosing the first polygon returned.
• Added convertWBDHUC() and pre-generated spatial data files: WBDHU2, WBDHU4, WBDHU6, WBDHU8 and WBDHU10.
• Added getHUC() and getHUCName().

Added the following datasets to the archive at: http://data.mazamascience.com/MazamaSpatialUtils/Spatial_0.8/ * WBDHU2 (and simplified versions) * WBDHU4 (and simplified versions) * WBDHU6 (and simplified versions) * WBDHU8 * WBDHU10

MazamaSpatialUtils 0.8.2

• Documentation fixes associated with change from sp to sf.

MazamaSpatialUtils 0.8.1

• Tweaks to satisfy CRAN submission checks.

MazamaSpatialUtils 0.8.0

Version 0.8.x is a complete refactoring of MazamaSpatialUtils to upgrade from dependence on the sp package to use of the sf package. As much as possible, the suite of functions and arguments will remain the same.

The following changes have been made:

• The dataset parameter has been renamed to datasetName in all functions where a name is expected rather than a sf dataframe object. This should have no effect on existing code which should “fuzzy match” dataset => datasetName.
