replace ReadImages with some other package #6

Closed sckott closed 11 years ago

Message from Brian Ripley:

"ReadImages has been orphaned and will be archived shortly: the 'maintainer' never updated it for R 2.14.0 and never gave credit for work he included.

Packages:

Histdata ImageMetrics Momocs RXKCD RcmdrPlugin.SCDA SCVA geomorph rdryad

in theory make use of it (only HistData does in its checks). Please make alternative arrangements (e.g. read.jpeg can be replaced by readJPEG in package jpeg) by the end of January."

Can you elaborate on what purpose it served? PNG is a good alternative and I use it in rAltmetric.

sckott commented 11 years ago

I was using read.jpeg from ReadImages, but had it commented out anyway. see here

We need to do full revamp of the pkg anyway, but since he wants it done by end of Jan we can just replace readimages with jpeg pkg for now and push up to CRAN?
