Installation

To run the code in this vignette a number of packages need to be installed, from CRAN and the FLR website, where tutorials are also available.

Libraries

FLR

The FLR packages can be installed from www.flr-project.org

library(FLCore)
library(FLBRP)
library(FLasher)
library(ggplotFL)

CRAN

The examples make extensive use of the packages of Hadley Wickham. For example plotting is done using ggplot2 based on the Grammar of Graphics.1 Grammar is to specifies the individual building blocks and allows them to be combined to create the graphic desired2.

While ‘dplyr’ is a grammar of data manipulation, providing a consistent set of verbs that help solve the most common data manipulation challenges, while ‘plyr’ is a set of tools to split up a big data structure into homogeneous pieces, apply a function to each piece and then combine all the results back together.

library(ggplot2)
library(plyr)
library(dplyr)

Install development version of FLife

library(devtools)
install_github("flr/FLife")
