Change log of the R package ‘orange’

orange 0.1.0 - 2026-08-23

Added

• The kentsamples data for testing and demonstration.
• The prop argument to occupancy allowing the calculation of proportional occupancies. Both the "relative" and "global" methods are available.
• The bradypus dataset for testing and demonstration.
• The sc_shape function to calculate points on small circles
• The sc_center function to calculate a small circle based on points on the sphere
• The sc_in function to calculate whether a bunch of points are inside a small circle or not (based on planes, rather than distances, about 10x faster).
• The shull function for the definition of spherical hulls from data, with plotting.
• The shullarea function to calculate the area of spherical hulls.
• The emptymap function for quick demonsrations.

Changed

• The pinna dataset now includes all species from the genus.
• Omitted irrelevant functions from biodome (based on an initial screening).
• Omitted ranges_ prefix from range calculation functions.
• The function cenrad was renamed to radius
• Refactored functions and standardized interface.

Known Missing

• Convex hulls
• plot=TRUE for data.frame methods when a metric is iterated with tax
• mstlength, maxdist with tax entry and either full=TRUE or dm!=NULL, because the tracing of coordates in the original dataset is not yet implemented

Initialization

• The package was forked from the ‘biodome’ project (v0.2.0-6) to efficiently focus on geographic range estimation. The corresponding functions were removed from that package.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
