vegtable 0.1.8
New Features
- New function
veg_diversity() and functions calculating
diversity indices: shannon(), evenness(),
dominance(), simpson(), and
richness().
- New function
new_relation() inserting new relations
into vegtable objects. This function is internally called
by veg_relation().
- New function
df2coverconvert() coercing data frames and
lists into coverconvert objects.
Improvements
- Slot relations may deal with any element that can
be coerced to
data.frame.
- All elements in slot syntax have to be of class
taxlist
- Parameter
in_header defined in several functions is set
as in_header = TRUE.
- Former method for ‘aggregate()’ is now defined in function
‘veg_aggregate()’.
- Deprecated functions:
match_names(),
merge_taxa(). These functions are now exclusive for objects
of class taxlist.
- Method
names() for vegtable objects will
retrieve a list with all names from the respective slots.
- New coercion methods including functions
as() and
as<-.
- Functions
trait_proportion() and
trait_stats() are also adding results to the slot
relations.
Bug Fixes
- An issue was solved for function
taxa2samples() when
setting an argument in the parameter 'merge_to', which was
not properly working in all cases.
vegtable 0.1.7
New Features
- New function
used_concepts() to extract taxon concepts
that are occurring in the plot observations.
- New function
cover_trans() in replacement of
transform()
- New slot
syntax in vegtable objects.
show() and print() methods for objects
vegtable, coverconvert, and
shaker.
Improvements
- In function
make_cocktail(), names of syntaxa are
allowed to start with numerical values.
- Function
write_juice() includes a messages when working
and with some metadata for cross-check when importing in Juice.
- New arguments in function
taxa2samples() setting the
levels to be included in output object (include_levels) and
to remove taxa without levels (na.rm).
- Application of
subset() extended to content in slot
relations.
- Function
vegtable2kml() was deprecated to resolve
dependencies on GIS packages associated to package
plotKML.
- Validity checks allow plots in slot header without
records in samples.
- Function
summary() also providing number of plots with
records.
- Function
transform() deprecated and replaced by
cover_trans().
Bug Fixes
- Files written by
write_juice() in Linux are now
readable in Windows.
- In
clean() objects with no entries resulted in invalid
objects.
- Bug in
count_taxa() for aggregating ranks with missing
records for lower taxa.
vegtable 0.1.6
Improvements
- Documentation implemented in
roxygen2.
- New argument
preserve_ids in function
add_releves().
Bug Fixes
- Function
count_taxa() adapted to the current package
taxlist.
vegtable 0.1.5
New Features
- New function
relation2header().
- New functions
trait_stats() and
trait_proportion().
Improvements
- New argument
add_traits in function
taxa2samples().
- Output of
count_taxa(), formula-method, indicates the
counted rank in the output.
- Adjusted settings in function
write_juice() for general
cases.
- Argument
as_matrix in function
crosstable() alternating matrix or
data.frame as output.
- New arguments
suffix and in_header for the
function count_taxa().
Bug Fixes
- Function
taxa2samples() was not properly working when
taxlist had taxon concepts without level information.
vegtable 0.1.4
New Features
- New data set
aspect_conv.
- New function
taxa2samples() for changing record names
by their respective accepted names.
- Function
count_taxa() implemented for
vegtable objects.
Improvements
- Updated data set
Kenya_veg Including hierarchical
ranks.
Bugs
- Function
cross2db was not working properly for tables
with only one column
vegtable 0.1.3
Improvements
- A method for
numeric values in function
transform().
vegtable 0.1.2
New Features
- File inst/ChangeLog replaced by
NEWS.md.
- Method
match_names() for vegtable
objects.
- New method
layers2samples().
- New method
add_releves(), adding releves from data
frames into vegtable objects.
Improvements
- No column
LayerID in prototype for
vegtable objects.
NA values are allowed for layers in slot
samples.- Layers are not any more restricted to single plots.
- Orphaned entries in slot
layers will be deleted by
function clean().
- Argument
match_header included in function
veg_relation().
- Validity check is not accepting
NA values in
TaxonUsageID at slot samples.
- Validity check tests also the values of relations matching header
with the respective relation.

aggregate.
- Slot
layers added to vegtable
objects.
Improvements
