Publication, added parallelization, new memory settings and bug fixes. Released on CRAN: 2020-02-07.

Peer-reviewed publication:

  • An open-access paper accompanying the moveVis R package has been peer-reviewed by and published in 'Methods in Ecology and Evolution' (see https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13374).
  • Reference: Schwalb-Willmann, J.; Remelgado, R.; Safi, K.; Wegmann, M. (2020). moveVis: Animating movement trajectories in synchronicity with static or temporally dynamic environmental data in R. Methods in Ecology and Evolution. Accepted Author Manuscript. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13374.
  • Citation: Please use citation("moveVis") to cite moveVis, e.g. when you use it in publications or presentations.

New features:

  • Many computationally expensive moveVis tasks can now be parallelized, as multi-core support for moveVis has been implemented (see use_multicore())
  • Added a new example data set whitestork_data, representing coordinates and acquisition times of 15 White Storks migrating from Lake of Constance, Germany, to Africa.

New functions:

  • use_multicore() lets you turn on multi-core support of moveVis to increase computational time through parallelization.
  • use_disk() enables the usage of disk space for creating frames. This can prevent memory overload when creating frames for very large animations.

Bug fixes:

  • Bug that caused a gap between traces and paths.
