tidyterra 0.7.2 (2025-04-14)

• Hotfix: Correct error on tests for CRAN.

tidyterra 0.7.1 (2025-04-07)

• New parameters in geom_spatraster_*: mask_projection. When set to TRUE avoid SpatRaster to wrapping around on some projections (see #115 and #169, by @dramanica).
• Fix an old bug exposed after terra 1.8-42: Plots crash when using ggplot2::facet_wrap() in combination with coord_sf() (or with implicit change of CRS due to other sf/Spat* objects).

tidyterra 0.7.0 (2025-02-03)

• Minimal version of terra required is 1.8-10.
• Remove metR from Suggests.
• Improve handling of factors when several layers have different levels. This is done using terra::combineLevels() (terra >= 1.8-10). See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79340152.
• Now scales that uses limits truncate the legend when limits parameter is provided (#165 @Fan-iX). Scales impacted:
  • scale_*_cross_blended_tint_c and scale_*_cross_blended_tint_b.
  • scale_*_hypso_tint_c and scale_*_hypso_tint_b.
  • scale_*_grass_c and scale_*_grass_b.
• Now geom_spatraster() (and overall pivoting of SpatRaster is less strict with different layer classes: if several layers can be defined as numeric (i.e. double, integer and numeric) the pivoting (and therefore the plot) can be performed. This is consistent with tidyr::pivot_longer() behavior (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79292989).

tidyterra 0.6.2 (2025-01-08)

• Add (limited) support for SpatGraticule (see terra::graticule()) #155.
• New arguments in geom_spatraster_rgb(): stretch and zlim. See terra::plotRGB() for clarification.
• geom_spatraster() suggests geom_spatraster_rgb() when a SpatRaster with RGB specification is detected (terra::has.RGB() is TRUE)

tidyterra 0.6.1 (2024-06-08)

• Add new scales:
  • grass_db and scale_fill_grass_c() family. This is an implementation of terra::map.pal(), that is the default palette for terra::plot() (> 1.7.78).
  • autoplot.SpatRaster() now uses also grass_db as the default palette.
  • Add scale_fill_princess_c() scale family.
• Fix tests.

tidyterra 0.6.0 (2024-04-22)

• Requires ggplot2 (>= 3.5.0).
• New methods for SpatVector objects:
  • pivot_longer.SpatVector() and pivot_wider.SpatVector().
  • fill.SpatVector().
• New geom geom_spatraster_contour_text() implemented on top of isoband::isolines_grob() .
• glimpse.SpatRaster() and glimpse.SpatVector() now displays information using ?tibble::print.tbl_df approach for the header and the footer. The body is still displayed transposed as of dplyr::glimpse(). See pillar::tbl_format_header() and pillar::tbl_format_footer() for examples.
• as_sf() converts a SpatVector to a sf object with an additional tbl_df class for pretty printing.
• fortify.SpatRaster() gains a new argument pivot that allows better integration with other ggplot2 geoms when pivoting. This is a wrapper of tidyr::pivot_longer().
• Tidy documentation.
• metR added to Suggests.

tidyterra 0.5.2 (2024-01-19)

• Adapt tests to ggplot2 3.5.0 (#129) @teunbrand.
• Reduce package size, specially relevant in the external raster asia.tif.

tidyterra 0.5.1 (2023-12-15)

• Adjust tests for as_sf() (#124).

tidyterra 0.5.0 (2023-11-21)

tidyterra has been accepted on JOSS. Please use the result of citation("tidyterra") or the following string:

Hernangómez, D. (2023). "Using the tidyverse with terra objects: the tidyterra package." Journal of Open Source Software, 8(91), 5751. ISSN 2475-9066, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.05751

Other changes on this version:

• Support for SpatRaster objects with a color table
  • autoplot.SpatRaster() can detect now SpatRaster objects with color tables.
  • geom_spatraster() can detect now SpatRaster objects with color tables.
  • New scales for plotting SpatRaster objects with color tables: scale_fill_coltab() and rest of family scales (colour).
  • tidyverse verbs keeps the associated coltab of a SpatRaster.
• By default all the discrete scales of tidyterra now have the following setup: na.translate = FALSE.
• By default, all the non-discrete (e.g. continuous or breaks) scales of tidyterra have now na.value = "transparent" (#120).
• Enhanced glimpse.Spat() with meta-information on type of geometry, crs, etc.
• New messaging interface thanks to cli package.

tidyterra 0.4.1

• Release for JOSS paper. No relevant changes.

tidyterra 0.4.0 (2023-03-17)

• This release focuses heavily on SpatVector objects. The improvements have been:
  • New methods for SpatVector:
    • glimpse.SpatVector()
    • arrange.SpatVector()
    • distinct.SpatVector()
    • inner_join.SpatVector(), left_join.SpatVector(), right_join.SpatVector() and full_join.SpatVector()
    • semi_join.SpatVector() and anti_join.SpatVector()
    • summarise.SpatVector()
    • rowwise.SpatVector()
    • group_by.SpatVector(),ungroup.SpatVector()
    • count.SpatVector(), tally.SpatVector()
    • bind_spat_cols(), bind_spat_rows()

• New glimpse.SpatRaster() method for SpatRaster.
• Other coercing and helper functions:
  • as_spatvector()
  • as_sf()
  • is_grouped_spatvector()

tidyterra 0.3.2 (2023-02-24)

• Improve docs on scales_* (#73) .
• Remove dependency on crayon package (superseded) in favor of cli.
• Remove tidyverse from Suggests.

tidyterra 0.3.1 (2022-11-09)

• New ggplot2 methods added:
  • Methods for autoplot.SpatVector(), autoplot.SpatRaster().
    • autoplot.SpatRaster() now is smarter on identifying the type of plot to produce. Can still be overridden with parameters.
  • Methods for fortifying SpatRaster and SpatVector objects: fortify.SpatRaster(), fortify.SpatVector().
• Three additional palettes are included on hypso.colors(): "artic", "meyers" and "nordisk-familjebok".
• Added colour scales to all palettes: scale_colour_*.
• Remove use of ggplot2::aes_string().
• Adapt geom_spatraster_contour() and geom_spatraster_contour_filled() to the changes introduced in ggplot2 (3.4.0), most notably the adoption of linewidth = .2, by default.

tidyterra 0.3.0 (2022-10-12)

• Package back to CRAN.
• Libraries dplyr, tidyr, tibble are not attached by default. Needed functions are reexported instead.
• Improvements on geom_spatraster():
  • Now in geom_spatraster() is possible to avoid the default fill of the layer using geom_spatraster(fill = NA) or geom_spatraster(aes(fill = NULL)).
  • aes(fill = ggplot2::after_stat()) now works on geom_spatraster().
  • Internal: Better handling of aes() and layers
• Add new function stat_spatraster().
• Reduce the size of external files.

tidyterra 0.2.2 (2022-09-29)

• Changes on how dplyr, tibble and tidyr are attached. Now these packages are listed on 'Depends' and are attached before tidyterra when library or require is called. Messages on load can be suppressed with suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(tidyterra)).
