tigers 0.1-3.5

NEW FEATURES

• The new function buffer() defines a (homogeneous) buffer zone around a polygon.
• The functions ECEF2lonlat, lonlat2ECEF, lonlat2UTM, UTM2lonlat, fast2waytable, BlackBodySpectrum, spectrum2col, wl2col, axisMap, and rose have been moved from the (now defunct package) sentinel to tigers.
• redundantVertices() gains the option 'colinear = TRUE'.
• A data set has been included: the coordinates of the limits of the Anduki Forest Reserve (Brunei).

BUG FIXES

• polygon2mask() has a modified internal C code with larger buffers making it more stable.
• The aspect of the compas drawn by rose() has been improved. The new default is 'size = 0.5' (instead of 1) and its unit is now inch.

OTHER CHANGES

• In triangulate(), method = 3 and 4 have been removed.

OTHER CHANGES

• The calculations of polygon area with lon-lat coordinates has been removed because of errors in the formulas.

BUG FIXES

• distance_to_arc() now returns the correct answer when the point (x,y) is close to an end-point of the arc.
• A memory leak in the C code of polygon2raster() has been fixed. Thin polygons (i.e., spread on a single row of polygons) are also correctly handled.
