Manipulations of Triangular Meshes Based on the 'VCGLIB' API

Operations on triangular meshes based on 'VCGLIB'. This package integrates nicely with the R-package 'rgl' to render the meshes processed by 'Rvcg'. The Visualization and Computer Graphics Library (VCG for short) is an open source portable C++ templated library for manipulation, processing and displaying with OpenGL of triangle and tetrahedral meshes. The library, composed by more than 100k lines of code, is released under the GPL license, and it is the base of most of the software tools of the Visual Computing Lab of the Italian National Research Council Institute ISTI < https://vcg.isti.cnr.it/>, like 'metro' and 'MeshLab'. The 'VCGLIB' source is pulled from trunk < https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/vcglib> and patched to work with options determined by the configure script as well as to work with the header files included by 'RcppEigen'.

Supporting Tools for Tada Science

Suite of tools to support the practice of tada science. It includes an engaging package roulette that is designed to facilitate learning about new packages.

Companion to the 'xeus-r' 'jupyter' Kernel

Set of R functions to be coupled with the 'xeus-r' 'jupyter' kernel in order to drive execution of code in notebook input cells, how R objects are to be displayed in output cells, and handle two way communication with the front end through comms.

A Simple HTTP Server to Serve Static Files or Dynamic Documents

Start an HTTP server in R to serve static files, or dynamic documents that can be converted to HTML files (e.g., R Markdown) under a given directory.

Interface to the 'Open Tree of Life' API

An interface to the 'Open Tree of Life' API to retrieve phylogenetic trees, information about studies used to assemble the synthetic tree, and utilities to match taxonomic names to 'Open Tree identifiers'. The 'Open Tree of Life' aims at assembling a comprehensive phylogenetic tree for all named species.

Simplified Error Handling

Alternative to using withCallingHandlers() in the simple case of catch and rethrow. The `%!%` operator evaluates the expression on its left hand side, and if an error occurs, the right hand side is used to construct a new error that embeds the original error.

Hyperlink Automatic Detection

Automatic detection of hyperlinks for packages and calls in the text of 'rmarkdown' or 'quarto' documents.

Summarize CRAN Check Results in the Terminal

The CRAN check results and where your package stands in the CRAN submission queue in your R terminal.

R Interface to 'Keras'

Interface to 'Keras' < https://keras.io>, a high-level neural networks 'API'. 'Keras' was developed with a focus on enabling fast experimentation, supports both convolution based networks and recurrent networks (as well as combinations of the two), and runs seamlessly on both 'CPU' and 'GPU' devices.

R and C++11

Rcpp11 includes a header only C++11 library that facilitates integration between R and modern C++.
