• Remove dependency on sp, rgeos and rgdal (Demote sp and raster to suggests #332)
• That involved removal of the following functions:
  • catchmentArea.R
  • Some of the functionality from linefuns.R
  • Browse the code base as of stplanr 0.8.5 here: https://github.com/ropensci/stplanr/blob/v0.8.5
• Removal of 'ABS' reading functionality in favour of https://github.com/mattcowgill/readabs

@Robinlovelace Do you happen to know of good alternative packages for the catchment area style of analysis?

[Robinlovelace]

Not sure, @rafaelpeira may have some ideas on the R side..

In case anyone else finds this useful, we're looking at spnetworks, sfnetworks, r5r, openrouteservice, dodgr, and mapboxapi which all have some flavor of isochrone functionality.

Hi @stevenpandrews. I think you've already found some of the key libraries. I list a few others in the 3rd page of my slides here and on this post.
@Robinlovelace , thanks for the ping !

Cool, let us know how it goes. If your explorations go well and you do manage to get catchment area analysis going with open source software for reproducible research, feel free to ping me test it out and provide feedback. Definite need for more in this space so good luck!
