Deprecated and Defunct Elements of package ‘oce’

Description

Certain functions and function arguments are still provided for compatibility with older versions of ‘oce’, but will be removed soon. The ‘oce’ scheme for removing functions is similar to that used by ‘Bioconductor’: items are marked as "deprecated" in one release, marked as "defunct" in the next, and removed in the next after that. This goal is to provide a gentle migration path for users who keep their packages reasonably up-to-date.

Details

Several ‘oce’ functions are marked "deprecated" in the present release of oce. Please use the replacement functions as listed below. The next CRAN release of ‘oce’ will designate these functions as "defunct".

Deprecated Replacement Notes

The following are marked "defunct", so calling them in the the present version produces an error message that hints at a replacement function. Once a function is marked "defunct" on one CRAN release, it will be slated for outright deletion in a subsequent release.
