terrainr v 0.7.0

terrainr 0.7.0

• New features:
  • make_unity is a new function which uses the new unifir package to
    automatically create Unity scenes, no clicking necessary.
  • Internally, all calls to functions from {raster} have been replaced with
    calls to {terra}. This future-proofs the package against any coming
    deprecations and takes advantage of newer, faster terra code.
    This is not intended to be a breaking change; any methods that previously
    took {raster} objects should still work (and silently convert to {terra}
    under the hood). If you have any workflows impacted by this change,
    please file a bug report!
• Improvements and bug fixes:
  • make_manifest, transform_elevation, and transform_overlay no longer
    error when providing non-standard side lengths; they now warn as intended.
  • make_manifest, transform_elevation, and transform_overlay
    should no longer give warnings about nodata values in most cases.
    being clamped to 0.
  • Fixed some documentation, unused objects, restyled and removed lints.
  • transform_overlay (and by extension, every Unity overlay importer) now
    tries to automatically guess the scale of the input raster. Values under
    1 are scaled from 0-1, integers under 255 are scaled 0-255, and integers
    under 65535 are scaled 0-65536. The main effect of this is more realistic
    coloring when importing terrain. Floats above 1 won't be affected.
• Dependency changes:
  • terra is now included as an Import (had been recursively imported
    through raster previously).
  • raster and rgdal are now in Suggests (used temporarily in
    Raster* methods for get_tiles and add_bbox_buffer, until the new
    version of raster hits CRAN).
• Internal changes:
  • raster_to_raw_tiles is now a thin wrapper around the functions
    transform_overlay and transform_elevation. It is no longer tested;
    it will be removed entirely in the next release (see deprecation notice
    in terrainr 0.5.0).
