lumpR

Landscape Unit Mapping Program for R

DESCRIPTION

This project deals with an R-package called "lumpR". The package provides functions for a semi-automated approach of the delineation and description of landscape units and partition into terrain components. It can be used for the pre-processing of semi-distributed large-scale hydrological and erosion models using catena-representation (WASA-SED, CATFLOW). It is closely connected to and uses functionalities of GRASS GIS. Additional pre-processing tools beyond the scope of the original LUMP algorithm are included.

INSTALLATION

  • command line installation:
install.packages("devtools") 
library(devtools)
Sys.setenv(R_REMOTES_NO_ERRORS_FROM_WARNINGS=TRUE) #tell git_install() to ignore warnings. Otherwise, it gets stuck at each warning
install_github("tPilz/lumpR")
  • from zip/tar:
    • download zip/tar from github: >LINK<
    • install via R-GUI

The main branch relies on GRASS7. The migration of the packaga to GRASS8 is underway, but not fully tested: [https://github.com/tpilz/lumpR/tree/grass8]

NOTE

This package was also known as LUMP and has been renamed by Jan 9th 2017 to distinguish it from the LUMP algorithm published by Francke et al. (2008).
