In cysouw/qlcVisualize: Visualization for Quantitative Language Comparison

qlcVisualize, version 0.2.1

New submission because package was archived on CRAN Package was archived on 2019-01-25 as issues were not corrected in time. This submission intends to simply get everything working again.

Comments to second review

• The word "Voronoi" is now capitalized throughout all text in the package
• The methods implemented in this package are not yet published. However, what is called "level-map" here is simply an implementation of widely-used visualizations, normally drawn by hand (as explained in the Rd file). Voronoi diagrams of course are well-known. Finally, the method "level-image" is completely new AFAIK, explicitly made for my own research (which I hope will be publishable soon).

Comments to review

• Description in DESCRIPTION has been extended.
• There are some literature references in the Rd-files, but they pertain to individual function, not to the packages as a whole. It does not seem sensible to elevate them to the level of the whole package.
• All example marked as \dontrun have some problem which preclude them from being passed through CRAN testing as \donttest. This is explained in the actual examples. There is one example that takes a long time to download data, and there are two examples that have Unicode phonetic symbols that result in errors on some machines. I would still like to keep these examples, as they show the linguistic community why these function are actually useful (other than for some made-up simple examples).
• Changing of "par" had been revised to a more sensible strategy as suggested (with "on.exit")
