In Guerry: Maps, Data and Methods Related to Guerry (1833) "Moral Statistics of France"

Version 1.8.5

This release adds an sf/ggplot2 mapping vignette, migrates dataset documentation to roxygen2, fixes a data-integrity bug in gfrance/gfrance85, and clears a long-standing R CMD check NOTE.

• Added a new vignette, guerry-sf-maps, showing Guerry's maps with sf and ggplot2::geom_sf(), including a reproduction of the six main "moral variables" as small multiples and a discussion of Guerry's own light/dark color convention, illustrated with his 1833 Instruction map

• Fixed a clipped variable label in the HE plot in guerry-multivariate

• Added a pkgdown documentation-site badge, section icons and a dynamic version/build-date line to README.Rmd

• Migrated dataset documentation from hand-written man/*.Rd files to roxygen2 (internal, no user-facing changes to help pages)

• Restored the CODE_DEPT, COUNT and AVE_ID_GEO shapefile-identifier columns to gfrance and gfrance85, inadvertently dropped in the unreleased 1.8.4 data corrections. This had shifted every later column left by 3, silently breaking gfrance85's own documented example ([,5]/[,7:12] positional indexing) and the adegraphics package's reverse-dependency tests and vignette, which index gfrance85 the same way

• Added @importClassesFrom sp SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, clearing the long-standing "Namespace in Imports field not imported from: 'sp'" R CMD check NOTE (gfrance/gfrance85/Angeville are sp-class objects, so sp must stay a hard dependency, but nothing in R/ code called it directly)

Version 1.8.4 (2025-01-01)

• Corrected numerous transcription errors in the Guerry data (thx: Kathryn DuBois)
• Added Guerry_ranks, with all numeric variables ranked
• Revised vignettes, using corrected data

Version 1.8.3 (2023-10-13)

A problem with the adegraphics package becoming archived triggered a warning on Guerry threatening the same fate. I did not reply in time, and so Guerry was archived. This re-submission fixes that and other issues found by win-builder.

• Moved some examples to demo/
• Edit example in gfrance85.Rd
• Restore use of adegraphics for vignette MultiSpat.Rmd
• The demo/guerry_ggradar.R used a non-CRAN package; this package has been removed from Suggests: and the example moved to examples/.

• Incorporate parallel coord plots and radar charts in vignette

Version 1.8.1 (2023-05-05)

• Add reference to Friendly (2022)
• Moved a number of examples/ to demo/
