Simularia/simulariatools: simulariatools 3.0.0

Breaking changes

• Deprecated functions contourPlot() and createBaseMap() have been removed.
• downloadBasemap() now returns a tiff file with GeoTIFF metadata, instead of png.

New features

• contourPlot2() introduces new arguments mask and inverse_mask. These allow plotting data only inside (or outside) a polygon specified by a shp file.
• Labels in plotAvgTemp(), plotStabilityClass() and plotAvgRad() now respect the locale setting. The optional argument locale has also been added to override the system locale. Currently supported locales are Italian and English; unsupported locales are converted to English.
• plotAvgRad() now includes options to change the y-axis label and the title.
• plgtAvgTemp() and plotStabilityClass() gain date argument to specify the name of the column with datetime data.

Minor improvements and fixes

• contourPlot2() now masks content outside the plot domain. Previously, values outside plot domain were set to NA's, which could potentially cause artefacts at the borders.
• contourPlot2() has been updated to fix some breaking changes introduced by ggplot2 since version 3.5.0 where guide_legend() only draws a key glyph for a layer when the value is in the layer's data.
• contourPlot2() now removes -Inf from the levels list (if present) when plotting only contour lines.
• In plotAvgRad(), a missing colour for average radiation in the legend has been fixed.
• In plotAvgTemp(), a missing colour for average temperature in the legend has been fixed.
• In plotAvgTemp(), a bug related to the name of the column with temperature data has been fixed.
• In stabilityClass(), the tables defining the stability class as functions of radiation, wind speed and cloud cover have been slightly updated.
• In stabilityClass() the impact method has been deprecated and renamed to iaea.
• In plotStabilityClass(), a bug where a missing class was not shown in the legend has been fixed.
• Almost all the dependencies from Openair have been removed.
• Other minor bugs have been fixed and documentation has been updated and hopefully improved.
