wdpa_clean()
documentation.wdpa_fetch()
and wdpa_read()
on MacOS. Thanks to Jason Everett (@jaseeverett) for code
contribution.wdpa_fetch()
to use the chromote
package to handle web scrapping (instead of the webdriver
package).wdpa_fetch()
so that it can download
country-level data in either shapefile or file geodatabase format (using
the new datatype
parameter). Since file geodatabase data
appears to be more robust, wdpa_fetch()
now defaults to
downloading data in file geodatabase format.wdpa_clean()
to standardize column names so that
cleaning either shapefile or file geodatabase data results in the same
output.wdpa_clean()
so that it removes leading/trailing
white space characters from the "MANG_PLAN"
field.wdpa_read()
that causes output objects to
contain no columns.st_erase_overlaps()
not correctly
removing overlaps when a protected area are completely contained within
another (#73).wdpa_clean()
to be more robust (#68).wdpa_fetch()
when PhantomJS
is not installed (#63).wdpa_fetch()
documentation to provide
information on out of date warnings (#59).wdpa_fetch()
warnings to be more descriptive and
use the cli package for consistent alert messages.wdpa_fetch()
function to use the webdriver
package for obtaining data (replacing Rselenium package as a dependency)
(#63).st_repair_geometry()
to be more robust.st_repair_geometry()
function.wdpa_clean()
function.read_sf_n
to import data faster.wdpa_clean
to format the PA_DEF
column to indicate if each area is a protected area (per IUCN and CBD
protected area definitions) or an other effective area-based
conservation measure (OECM).wdpa_fetch
with new check_version
argument to specify if the version of cached data should be checked
against the latest version available online.wdpa_clean
to not throw an unnecessary and
confusing warning message when attempting to clean data that do not
contain any valid polygon geometries.wdpa_read
to ensure that all data from
global database. This is a bug previously meant that protected areas
denoted with polygon geometry data were not imported. It is strongly
recommended that users double check processed versions of the global
database to verify correctness.inst/scripts/global-example-script.R
)st_repair_geometry
function to repair geometry
using a combination of sf::st_make_valid
and
prepr::st_prepair
. This function is now used by the
wdpa_clean
function to augment data cleaning
procedures.wdpa_url
and wdpa_fetch
to have a
page_wait
parameter to specify the wait time for loading
web pages when finding the download URLs for datasets (#39).wdpa_clean
to provide better information when
cleaning data.wdpa_dissolve
function to dissolve geometries
together (#22).wdpa_url
function to be compatible with changes
on https://www.protectedplanet.net/en for downloading
country-level datasets.wdpa_fetch
function to conform with CRAN
policies. Specifically, data are now always saved in a temporary
directory by default.wdpa_url
function to be compatible with changes
on https://www.protectedplanet.net/en.wdpa_read
function to be compatible with new
global dataset format.st_erase_overlaps
function to be more resilient
against topology errors (#33).wdpa_clean
function with new
retain_status
parameter to specify which protected areas
should be retained during the cleaning process (#33). Defaults to a
character
vector containing "Designated"
,
"Inscribed"
, "Established"
to indicate that
protected areas with these status (i.e. per "STATUS"
column) are retained. Thus the default behavior from previous versions
remains unchanged.wdpa_clean
with new exclude_unesco
parameter to specify if UNESCO Biosphere Reserves should be included
(#33). Defaults to TRUE
such that default behavior remains
unchanged from previous versions.wdpa_read
function to be compatible with changes
to global dataset (#31).wdpa_fetch
function to be compatible with
changes to Protected Planet website for downloading global dataset.wdpa_clean
documentation (#28).wdpa_clean
documentation (#29).wdpa_latest_version
function for determining the
latest version of the dataset.wdpa_read
so that it is compatible with the new
data format provided by https://www.protectedplanet.net/en.st_erase_overlaps
so that
overlapping geometries are clearly shown.--run-donttest
).st_erase_overlaps
so that it is more robust to
geometry issues.lwgeom
package
version 0.2-3 (#24).lwgeom
and sf
package version
requirements.wdpa_clean
function now returns an empty result
(i.e. sf
object with zero rows) for countries that do not
have any protected areas represented by spatially valid non-empty
geometries (e.g. Somalia in February 2020, #19).wdpa_clean
function.wdpa_clean
function more robust to typology
issues (#20).wdpa_clean
(#21).wdpa_clean
so that it works with a single
protected area.st_erase_overlaps
.wdpa_clean
so that it works with shapefiles that
do not have geometry stored in the geometry
column
(e.g. global data).st_erase_overlaps
so that it has a higher
success rate for really invalid geometries (e.g. protected areas for
Gabon).Summary: ElementNotVisible
