tigers 0.1-3.3

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 package sentinel (which is now defunct).
• 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 which should make the function more stable.

BUG FIXES

• is.insidePolygon() returned two values when 'points' was not a matrix: the vector is now converted as a one-row matrix.

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.
