mapsf 1.0.0

This is the first major version of mapsf.

Feat

• a new theming system has been introduced, leading to new default values and a new default map style. ‘bg’, ‘fg’, ‘tab’, ‘pos’, ‘inner’, ‘line’, ‘cex’ and ‘font’ are now deprecated arguments
• redraw map elements when resizing device, leading to a better display of maps in positron and rstudio graphics devices
• add a “center” position to mf_annotation(), no arrow displayed when used
• add “adj” argument to mf_scale() to adjust the scale bar
• default values for mf_scale() are “prettier”
• add alpha (transparency) for all map types in mf_map() and mf_raster()
• mf_get_pal() gains the ability to create diverging colors palettes based on a vector of break values
• add a new “banner” argument in mf_title()
• add a mf_frame() function to add a frame around the map or the figure
• add mf_png() and mf_svg() functions to export maps in PNG and SVG

Breaking changes

• removed deprecated functions: mf_legend_*() functions
• removed deprecated arguments: adjust in mf_arrow(); theme and export in mf_export(); theme in mf_init(); pt_pch, pt_cex, pt_pch_na, pt_cex_na in mf_legend(); unit in mf_scale()
• in mf_background(), ellipsis (…) is now ignored, no further parameters from graphics::rasterImage() can be passed
• in mf_base() (and mf_map(type=“base”)), the “bg” argument is removed
• in mf_base() (and mf_map(type=“base”)), 21:25 points symbols uses “col” and “border” for fill and contour colors instead of “bg” and “col”
• in mf_base() (and mf_map(type=“base”)), ellipsis (…) is ignored, no further parameters from sf::plot() can be passed
• in mf_get_ratio(), the “res” argument has been removed
