PaleoMapR is in alpha, so the most useful contribution right now is feedback from making real maps with it.

Reporting a problem

Open a bug report and include:

  • what you did (tab, map age, plate model, button or settings) and what you expected;
  • the message in the status line or the R console; for a failed figure, maps/last_render_error.txt; for the Windows setup, state/setup_log.txt;
  • if the problem depends on your points, points/user_points.csv and points/record_edits.csv.

Running sessionInfo() in R and pasting the output helps for installation problems.

Suggesting a change

Open a feature request, ideally with a reference to the data set or method, or an example map.

Code

Pull requests are welcome; please open an issue first for anything larger than a small fix. The editor code is in inst/app/: app.R (the Shiny app) and the scripts in inst/app/R/ (settings in config.R, the correction in dem_correction.R, maps in maps.R, climate in climate*.R); R/ holds the package functions that start and set up the editor. Code style for new code: base R, braces on every if/for body, no apply family or tidyverse, par() and options() restored with on.exit().
