Would be nice to have one function that can call to calculate and return all 27 indices #2

As a user of RClimDex (https://github.com/rodneychan-ec/RClimDex), it would be easier to shift to this package if there was one function call to calculate all 27 indices at once.

Hi, thanks s for your suggestion. Most users are interested in a subset of indices, so we have kept the function simple in that sense. Furthermore, very large datasets may cause memory problems. In any case, an external looping function can be created to automate the task if needed. best

Thanks! Do you already have codes for such external looping function somewhere? Would really appreciate if you could share. Why reinvent the wheel all over?

Unfortunately we didn't create such wrapping function so far. In any case, external contributions are welcome. Best regards
