naijR 0.7.0

New Features:

• Introduced ngdist, a dist object containing road distances (in km) between all 37 Nigerian State capitals, sourced from UNDP.
• Added ng_distance() for convenient lookup of the driving distance between any two State capitals, with support for kilometres and miles.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed non-interactive vignette builds due to a failure to import key functions explicitly.

• Added ng_distance() for convenient lookup of the driving distance between any two State capitals, with support for kilometers and miles.

Bug fixes:

naijR 0.6.1

• Added more function examples and other documentation improvements.
• Increased compression for internal data.

naijR 0.6.0

naijR 0.6.0

New Features:

• Added a new dataset states_nigeria for the States of Nigeria.
• Migrated from RGDAL-based spatial data; the {sf} package is now the main dependency.
• map_ng gained a newly documented argument plot, which hitherto was passed internally to maps::map() via ....
• Added a new function disambiguate_lga, which takes a single-element lgas object for handling the names of Local Government Areas that are shared between separate States. This function enables the (re)setting of the State attribute of such objects; this can be done interactively, where the replicated States' names are presented for selection by users.

Fixes:

• Improved on the accuracy of LGA naming in the light of spelling mistakes discovered in the earlier reference document.
• Unwanted display of dialogs when fixing LGA names on Windows OS was reversed (suggested by Laura DeCicco).

naijR 0.5.2

Silenced a warning on EOL spatial package dependencies ahead of necessary changes.

v0.5.1

Changes

• In nested calls with the function fix_region, the lgas constructor function does not warn if there are spelling mistakes, as this turned out to be a bit confusing when it was used. In earlier versions, warnings persisted even after fixes were applied.
• In carrying out interactive fixes, particularly of LGA spellings, the more familiar and intuitive native Windows messaging and dialog system is used. Works only on Windows machines; on Linux and macOS, the usual messaging and interaction occur at the R console.
• Control the size of map labels with the cex argument (passed on to maps::map.text internally, via ...).
• Handle instances where the term Abuja is used as a State (which technically it is not) and signal a warning to the user.

naijR 0.5.0

New features:

• New methods for ?InternalGenerics were introduced e.g. for c(), [, [[, na.exclude, etc.

Enhancements:

• Effectively handle mobile numbers that have common separators in them, namely whitespace, '-' or '.'.
• Repair mobile numbers where poor data entry interchanges zeros (0s) with the letter O (works for both upper and lower case).
• Repair of mobile numbers now offers optional information for users.
• Allow the use of factor input when creating objects of class regions.
• Added a new argument legend.text for map_ng using an idiom that is similar to the one used in base::barplot, thanks to observations made by @VictoriaLatham in issue #27.
• Simplified the creation of choropleth maps with 2-column data frames; one of the columns is to be a vector of valid States or Local Government Areas, and the other a factor or something coercible to one.

Bug fixes:

• map_ng accepted arguments that were not data.frames leading to unwieldy errors. It is now made sure to fail early in such cases

Deprecated:

• Arguments of map_ng - leg.x, leg.y, and leg.orient were marked for deprecation in the next minor release.

naijR 0.4.4

Bug fix:

• fix_mobile fails unexpectedly when only NA is supplied as argument. This causes practical problems when, for example, it encounters a column with only missing values.
