Introduction

PackagestarsExtra

R packagestarsExtra provides several miscellaneousfunctions for working withstars objects, mainlysingle-band rasters. Currently includes functions for:

• Focal filtering
• Detrending of Digital Elevation Models
• Calculating flow length
• Calculating the Convergence Index
• Calculating topographic slope
• Calculating topographic aspect

Installation

CRAN version:

install.packages("starsExtra")

GitHub version:

install.packages("remotes")remotes::install_github("michaeldorman/starsExtra")

Usage

Once installed, the library can be loaded as follows:
