In sckott/rphylopic: Get Silhouettes of Organisms from PhyloPic

rphylopic (development version)

• Added add_phylopic_legend (#83)
• Added permalink generation option to get_attribution (#81)

rphylopic 1.3.0

• updated citation
• added warning when specified size is more than 1000 times smaller than the y-axis range (mostly useful for when making maps with coord_sf) (#86)
• changed the defaults and behavior of the color and fill argument/aesthetics to better maintain backwards compatibility but also prevent unnecessary outlines (#87)
• added resolve_phylopic (#66)
• pick_phylopic now accepts a list of uuids via the uuid argument (#95)
• fixed check behavior on CRAN (all tests and examples are now skipped)
• caught a rare error when nothing matched filter

rphylopic 1.2.2

• vignettes are now precompiled

rphylopic 1.2.1

• updated rphylopic to work with grImport2 version 0.3.0 and rsvg version 2.6.0
• rphylopic now requires grImport2 >= 0.3.0 and rsvg >= 2.6.0

rphylopic 1.2.0

• added text argument to get_attribution (#56)
• get_attribution now handles multiple uuids
• added browse_phylopic function (#60)
• added preview argument to get_phylopic (#59)
• switched to {maps} package in base R advanced vignette
• geom_phylopic now properly handles a single unlisted image object passed to the "img" parameter (#75)
• added filter (license) argument to get_uuid, pick_phylo, add_phylopic_base, add_phylopic, and geom_phylopic (#72)
• added img argument to get_uuid and get_attribution
• added verbose argument (calls get_attribution) to geom_phylopic, add_phylopic, and add_phylopic_base (#71)
• split out the functionality of the color argument/aesthetic to color (silhouette outline) and fill (silhouette) arguments/aesthetics in add_phylopic, geom_phylopic, and add_phylopic_base (#58)
• when only the color argument/aesthetic is specified, it is copied to the fill argument/aesthetic (maintaining mostly backwards compatibility with old code)
• added plot and print methods for silhouette objects (#73)
• fixed the behavior of geom_phylopic when used with coord_sf
• added phylopic_key_glyph for using silhouettes inside ggplot legends (#57)

rphylopic 1.1.1

• Minor fixes for Fedora
• Better handling of malformed Picture objects

rphylopic 1.1.0

• added functions for transforming PhyloPic silhouettes (flipping and rotating)
• save_phylopic bg argument updated to be "transparent" by default
• added geom_phylopic (#25)
• vectorized add_phylopic and add_phylopic_base (#42)
• recolor_phylopic now removes white backgrounds by default
• fixed the handling of alpha values
• get_phylopic can now return any size raster image (#50)
• removed the "thumbnail" and "twitter" format options for get_phylopic
• fixed how silhouettes are gathered from PhyloPic (#51)
• pick_phylopic updated to allow visualization of multiple silhouettes at once (#43)
• fixed add_phylopic_base for multi-panel figures
• added three vignettes (#49, #55)

rphylopic 1.0.0

• rphylopic has now been transferred to the Palaeoverse community (new maintainer: William Gearty and author: Lewis Jones)
• The package has been updated to work with PhyloPic API ver. >=2.1.1
• The package has been reworked to its core functionality of fetching silhouettes and plotting them in base R and ggplot2:
• get_uuid: this function enables users to get uuid(s) associated with a taxonomic name (new function)
• get_phylopic: this function enables users to get the PhyloPic silhouette associated with a specific uuid (replaces image_get)
• pick_phylopic: this function enables users to pick specific PhyloPic silhouettes when multiple are available for a given taxonomic name (new function)
• add_phylopic_base: this function retains it's core functionality and is used to add a silhouette to a base R plot (updated from add_phylopic_base)
• add_phylopic: this function retains it's core functionality and is used to add a silhouette to a ggplot2 (updated from add_phylopic)
• get_attribution: this function enables users to get the attribution data associated with a specific uuid (new function)
• save_phylopic: this function enables users to save PhyloPic silhouettes using various formats (replaces save_png)

rphylopic 0.3.4
