Title: Info about retiring of R GIS packages rgdal, rgeos, maptools in 2023
Category: Docs
Skill Level:
Beginner (304), Intermediate (305), Advanced (306)
Description:
R GIS packages "rgdal", "rgeos", and "maptools" are package set to be
archived and no longer supported by end of 2023. Many other R GIS packages
are build on top of these packages, including "sp" and "raster". The
packages recommended as replacement for "sp" is "sf" and the replacement for
"raster" is "terra". Below are links to published articles regarding this
transition. Additionally, I am including links to the documentation for the
new packages recommended to be used "sf" and "terra".
