📢 ¡Nueva edición del libro Usa R como Sistema de Información Geográfica! 🌍

Me da mucho gusto compartir que ya está disponible la nueva edición de este libro, escrito originalmente por Jean-François Mas, y que en esta versión suma a nuevos colaboradores y colaboradoras, ampliándose con capítulos adicionales y casos de uso aplicados.

The first major version of {mapsf} has arrived on CRAN!

mapsf is a thematic mapping R package. Its goal is to be simple and lightweight while offering all the necessary features to create beautiful statistical maps.

This release includes a revamped theming system, an updated cheat sheet and improved PNG and SVG exports and solves some long-lasting display bugs.

I finally manage to watch @paleolimbot presentation at @RConsortium on "scaling the #Rspatial ecosystem" !

Quick subjective key points:

- Use the database Luke and learn a bit SQL (I was already converted)

- the diversity of R packages to do some workflows also represent the diversity of standards (s.f.) and steps to reach similar results

- wkt_filter seems very nice (I was using "query" and GDAL/SQL instead)

From Brittany Barker: ‘My "GIS and Mapping in R" workshop for the Cascadia R Conference . . . is available at GitHub and includes four exercises that focus on using "sf", "terra", "ggplot2", and "leaflet" for geospatial analyses and creating static and interactive maps’

Rainy day here, so I'm using #GenerativeAI to help teach me more about Kyle Walker's cool {mapgl} #RStats 📦 . And it's been pretty fun so far.

1) I uploaded mapgl help files and vignettes to both ChatGPT & Claude.
2) I used the CustomGPT AI Tutor Blueprint chatgpt.com/g/g-1rlItjngn-ai-t to create a good prompt for a mapGL tutor.
3) I added that prompt to Claude, and my tutor was ready!

The {pkgprompt} and {rdocdump} #R 📦s help turn R docs into text.
