In EarthSystemDiagnostics/TrenchR: Analyse and Plot Trench-like Proxy Records

TrenchR 0.2.0

This update narrows down the scope of TrenchR by removing functions which have a more general application than just for use with trench-like data. Since this is applied to both internal as well as NAMESPACE functions, this update may break code that calls any of these functions from TrenchR which is, however, alleviated by the fact that all these functions are available from dependent packages installed along with this new version.

In detail, the following functions are no longer part of TrenchR but instead available from the specified external packages:

• Polyplot is replaced by grfxtools::Polyplot;
• rmsd is replaced by stattools::rmsd;
• SetPlotPar is replaced by grfxtools::Par;
• AverageIndexBins is replaced by prxytools::AverageByIndex;
• MinorTick is replaced by grfxtools::MinorTick;
• which.peaks is replaced by prxytools::LocatePeaks;
• my.legend is replaced by grfxtools::Legend.

Note the function name change in some cases. Usage and version of the new functions are identical to the previous ones, except for grfxtools::Par and grfxtools::MinorTick which are enhanced versions of the respective TrenchR versions.

In order to additionally optimise dependencies, the dependencies on the packages prettymapr and Hmisc have been removed since only one function is used from either package: prettymapr::addnortharrow and Hmisc::Lag. prettymapr::addnortharrow is replaced by the slightly enhanced version grfxtools::AddNorthArrow and Hmisc::Lag is replaced by the identical prxytools::Lag. The former case also circumvents the problem of a potential future deprecation of prettymapr and consequent removal from CRAN.

TrenchR 0.1.3

• A package vignette showing how to reproduce the figures of the Münch et al. (2017) paper is now included.

TrenchR 0.1.2

• Replaced GISTools dependency since the package is no longer on CRAN. This only affects the layout of the north arrow plotted on the map in Figure 2 of Münch et al. (2017).

TrenchR 0.1.1

• Improved checking for reasonable advection values in LoopParamSpace().

TrenchR 0.1.0

• Full functionality and documentation.
• Generalised usage of some functions.

TrenchR 0.0.9

• Development version of package released along with the publication Münch, T., et al.: Constraints on post-depositional isotope modifications in East Antarctic firn from analysing temporal changes of isotope profiles, The Cryosphere, 11(5), 2175-2188, doi: 10.5194/tc-11-2175-2017, 2017.
