IGCparser

Provides functions that enable an IGC file to be parsed, creating a data.frame containing time (s), pressure and GNSS altitude (m), latitude and longitude (DDD.DDDDD°) and climb rate (m/s). Also provides functions for the analysis of the flight recorded within the IGC file.

Getting started

To install the version under development;

if (!require("devtools")) {
  install.packages("devtools")
  library("devtools")
}

install_github("roh6608/IGCparser", build_vignettes = TRUE)

Also ensure dplyr, hms and ggplot2 are installed;

if(!require("dplyr")){
  install.packages("dplyr")
  library("dplyr")
}

if(!require("hms")){
  install.packages("hms")
  library("hms")
}

if(!require("ggplot2")){
  install.packages("ggplot2")
  library("ggplot2")
}

Using IGCparser

The functions contained within the IGCparser package are;

• IGCparse(), which parses the IGC file into a simple format for analysis.
• barogram(), which creates a ggplot2 object, displaying the barogram for the flight.
• climb_plot(), which creates a ggplot2 object, displaying the climb rate for the flight.
• time_in_lift(), which gives a numerical output of time in lift in decimal hours.
