bcmaps 2.0.0

Removal of sp and raster support

We’ve removed support for the sp and raster packages, especially those parts that require the use of the rgdal and rgeos packages, which will be retired in October 2023. See the r-spatial blog for details of this evolution.

bcmaps 1.2.0

Deprecation of sp and raster support

We’ve started the process of removing support for the sp and raster packages, especially those parts of that require the use of the rgdal and rgeos packages, which will be retired in October 2023. See the r-spatial blog for details of this evolution. We will fully remove support for Spatial classes (from package sp) in the next release in Summer 2023.

This is a major new release with breaking changes.

All data has been removed from the bcmaps package and moved to the bcmaps.rdata package, which is hosted on the bcgov drat repository: https://github.com/bcgov/drat. That package must be installed in order for bcmaps to access the data. It can be installed with: install.packages('bcmaps.rdata', repos='https://bcgov.github.io/drat/')

In previous versions of bcmaps, data was stored in the package and loaded by calling data("layername") or simply layername (e.g., data("bc_bound") or bc_bound).

Now loading data requires a function call - either using a shortcut function that is the same name as the dataset (e.g., bc_bound() whereas previously one would simply use bc_bound). Alternatively, one can use the get_layer() function (e.g., get_layer("bc_bound")).

Another major change is that all the layers are now returned as sf classes by default, rather than Spatial classes. Spatial versions of the data can still be obtained by setting the class argument to "sp" in get_layer() and the shortcut functions (E.g., bc_bound(class = "sp") or get_layer("bc_bound", class = "sp")).
