UrbanTempo-package: Package "UrbanTempo"
In marieflutre/UrbanTempo: Manage urban temporalities from observational data

This package manages urban temporalities from observational data, similarly to figure 4.6 in Marie Gibert's PhD thesis (2014).

First of all, before using the UrbanTempo package, you need to define your research question and choose the urban location you are interested in. Then, you can start the long process of collecting data on urban temporalities. Once this is done, the goal of this package is to help you drawing a figure representing the urban temporalities you observed.

In order to use the UrbanTempo package, you will need to save your data into a "plain text" file formatted in a specific way so that it can be loaded without error. To help you preparing such a file, you can see an example available online. Once your data are properly formatted, you can load them via the readTemporalities function. The documentation of this function, available via ?readTemporalities, provides an example.

Once your data are loaded, you will need to specify how you want them to appear on the figure (their colors, etc). Such appearances should be saved into a "plain text" file (an example is also available online). Such a file can then be loaded via the readAppearances function. The documentation of this function, available via ?readAppearances, provides an example.

At this stage, you will be ready to make your first figure, via the plotTemporalities function. See also the plotLegend function.

An example of the full process is described in the tutorial available via the following command: browseVignettes("UrbanTempo").
