bcmaps v0.8.2

• Added a tries argument to fix_geo_problems function to set the maximum number of iterations it should go through in attempting to repair topological issues.

bcmaps v0.8.1

Fixed encodings of French names in watercourses data

bcmaps v0.8.0

Added watercourse layers for B.C. at both 1:5M and 1:15M scales.

bcmaps v0.7.1

Bug fixes

bcmaps v0.7.0

• fix_geo_problems and transform_bc_albers are Generic functions with methods for sf objects as well as Spatial objects
• fix_self_intersect is now defunct

bcmaps v0.6.2

Minor bugfix of fix_geo_problems

v0.6.1

bcmaps 0.6.1

• fix_self_intersect has been renamed to fix_geo_problems (but kept as an alias for now)
• fix_geo_problems can often also fix orphaned holes in addition to self-intersections.

bcmaps v0.6.0

• Added watersheds dataset (#15, @markjohnsonubc)
• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

v0.5.0

Added two new functions to create and work with SpatailPolygonsDataFrames with nested data frames:

• self_union performs a union on a single SpatialPolygons* object to take into account overlaps. Polygon attributes are combined in a nested dataframe.
• get_poly_attribute allows you to easily parse a nested data frame column (created by self_union) to extract or calculate the attributes you want

v0.4.0

Added a couple of convenience functions:

• transform_bc_albers() transforms a Spatial object to BC Albers projection
• fix_self_intersect() checks for and repairs self-intersecting polygons
