Download test IFCB data — ifcb_download_test

This function downloads two zip archives containing .png images and MATLAB files from the `svea_skagerrak_kattegat` dataset available in the SMHI IFCB plankton image reference library (Torstensson et al. 2024), and unzips them into the specified folder. These data can, for instance, be used for testing `iRfcb`.

ifcb_download_test_data(dest_dir, method = "auto")

Arguments

dest_dir: The destination directory where the files will be unzipped.
method: Method to be used for downloading files. Current download methods are "internal", "libcurl", "wget", "curl" and "wininet" (Windows only), and there is a value "auto": see ‘utils::download.file’.
