In andrew-MET/harpVis: Visualisation functions for harp.

harpVis v0.2.2

Hotfix release that adds defaults for shinyOptions() in the point verification Shiny app

harpVis v0.2.1

Hotfix release that adds functionality to plot new spatial verification scores

harpVis v0.2.0

This is a major update. The main focus has been on ensuring that plot functions for verification scores can handle outputs from harpPoint 0.2.0 while also being backwards compatible with outputs from older versions of harpPoint.

In addition there are some new functionalities. In particular new geoms for plotting harp georeferenced gridded data in ggplot, with options to thin the data to speed up plotting.

plot_scatter() is soft deprecated. Since the data are computed in verification functions, scatter (or more accurately hexbin) plots can now be made with plot_point_verif(..., score = hexbin)
plot_station_eps() is defunct. plot_station_ts() should be used instead.

Plot functions are backwards compatible so that verification data produced by old versions of {harpPoint} with leadtime, mname, fcdate, validdate included in the column names will still work.
geom_georaster(), geom_geocontour() and geom_geocontour_filled() are new functions for plotting gridded data using ggplot. An upscaling option is added to enable faster plotting of rasters and calculation / smoothing of contours.
Map data for plots projected to the domain of a gridded data field can be retrieved using get_map().
The shiny app for point verification can now select from different time axes and will recognise and plot vertical profile verifications.
The shiny app for point verification has gained two new options: full_dir_navigation controls whether a modal is opened for selecting data directories (the old behaviour), or simply populating a dropdown selector. theme allows you to control the overall appearance of the app and you can choose between "dark", "light" and "white".
