Description: This software has evolved from fisheries research conducted at the
Pacific Biological Station (PBS) in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. It
extends the R language to include two-dimensional plotting features similar
to those commonly available in a Geographic Information System (GIS).
Embedded C code speeds algorithms from computational geometry, such as
finding polygons that contain specified point events or converting between
longitude-latitude and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates.
Additionally, we include C++ code developed by Angus Johnson for the Clipper
library.  PBSmapping also includes data for a global shoreline and other

Description: PBS Modelling provides software to facilitate the design,
testing, and operation of computer models. It focuses particularly on
tools that make it easy to construct and edit a customized graphical
user interface (GUI). Although it depends heavily on the R interface
to the Tcl/Tk package, a user does not need to know Tcl/Tk. The
package contains examples that illustrate models built with other R
packages, including PBS Mapping, odesolve, and BRugs. It also serves
as a convenient prototype for building new R packages, along with
instructions and batch files to facilitate that process. The root
library directory of PBSmodelling includes a complete user guide
PBSmodelling-UG.pdf. To use this package effectively, please consult
the guide.
