Working with Audio and Video in R

Bindings to 'FFmpeg' < http://www.ffmpeg.org/> AV library for working with audio and video in R. Generates high quality video from images or R graphics with custom audio. Also offers high performance tools for reading raw audio, creating 'spectrograms', and converting between countless audio / video formats. This package interfaces directly to the C API and does not require any command line utilities.

Database Interface and 'MySQL' Driver for R

Legacy 'DBI' interface to 'MySQL' / 'MariaDB' based on old code ported from S-PLUS. A modern 'MySQL' client written in 'C++' is available from the 'RMariaDB' package.

Fast and Simple 'MongoDB' Client for R

High-performance MongoDB client based on 'mongo-c-driver' and 'jsonlite'. Includes support for aggregation, indexing, map-reduce, streaming, encryption, enterprise authentication, and GridFS. The online user manual provides an overview of the available methods in the package: < https://jeroen.github.io/mongolite/>.

High-Performance Stemmer, Tokenizer, and Spell Checker

Low level spell checker and morphological analyzer based on the famous 'hunspell' library < https://hunspell.github.io>. The package can analyze or check individual words as well as parse text, latex, html or xml documents. For a more user-friendly interface use the 'spelling' package which builds on this package to automate checking of files, documentation and vignettes in all common formats.

Secure Shell (SSH) Client for R

Connect to a remote server over SSH to transfer files via SCP, setup a secure tunnel, or run a command or script on the host while streaming stdout and stderr directly to the client.

JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption

Read and write JSON Web Keys (JWK, rfc7517), generate and verify JSON Web Signatures (JWS, rfc7515) and encode/decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT, rfc7519) < https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jose/documents/>. These standards provide modern signing and encryption formats that are natively supported by browsers via the JavaScript WebCryptoAPI < https://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/#jose>, and used by services like OAuth 2.0, LetsEncrypt, and Github Apps.

3D Visualization Using OpenGL

Provides medium to high level functions for 3D interactive graphics, including functions modelled on base graphics (plot3d(), etc.) as well as functions for constructing representations of geometric objects (cube3d(), etc.). Output may be on screen using OpenGL, or to various standard 3D file formats including WebGL, PLY, OBJ, STL as well as 2D image formats, including PNG, Postscript, SVG, PGF.

R Interface to NLopt

Solve optimization problems using an R interface to NLopt. NLopt is a free/open-source library for nonlinear optimization, providing a common interface for a number of different free optimization routines available online as well as original implementations of various other algorithms. See < https://nlopt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/NLopt_Algorithms/> for more information on the available algorithms. Building from included sources requires 'CMake'. On Linux and 'macOS', if a suitable system build of NLopt (2.7.0 or later) is found, it is used; otherwise, it is built from included sources via 'CMake'. On Windows, NLopt is obtained through 'rwinlib' for 'R <= 4.1.x' or grabbed from the appropriate toolchain for 'R >= 4.2.0'.

A New Format for Lossless and Lossy Image Compression

Lossless webp images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNG. Lossy webp images are 25-34% smaller in size compared to JPEG. This package reads and writes webp images into a 3 (rgb) or 4 (rgba) channel bitmap array using conventions from the 'jpeg' and 'png' packages.

Highly Optimized Protocol Buffer Serializers

Pure C++ implementations for reading and writing several common data formats based on Google protocol-buffers. Currently supports 'rexp.proto' for serialized R objects, 'geobuf.proto' for binary geojson, and 'mvt.proto' for vector tiles. This package uses the auto-generated C++ code by protobuf-compiler, hence the entire serialization is optimized at compile time. The 'RProtoBuf' package on the other hand uses the protobuf runtime library to provide a general- purpose toolkit for reading and writing arbitrary protocol-buffer data in R.
