New Functions

  • map_nhdplus() works much the same as plot_nhdplus() but creates a leaflet map rather than a static plot.
  • get_nldi_index() is used to call the NLDI web service to retrieve a hydrologic location.

Improvements

  • get_flowline_index() and get_waterbody_index() units and projection handling was altered. Defaults for the search_radius input were changed. Coordinate reference system handling in geoprocessing now relies on the CRS of the provided points rather than the flowlines.
  • get_nldi_basin() now supports precise basin delineation via a logical "split" parameter as well as the option to retrieve un-simplified basin geometry.
  • All network-dependent functions in nhdplusTools now return a warning and NULL if the web servicee is unavailable or fails for other reasons. This is according to CRAN policy.
