## juicr package for R

### purpose of the juicr package
**juicr** is a GUI interface to automated, semi-automated, and manual tools for extracting data from scientific images -- like scatter or bar plots that contain data, or other images with information that can be converted numerically or coordinates classified. More information about **juicr** can be found at [http://lajeunesse.myweb.usf.edu](http://lajeunesse.myweb.usf.edu).

### installation instructions and dependencies
**juicr** has an external dependency that needs to be installed and loaded prior to use in R. This is the **EBImage** R package (Pau et al. 2010) available only from the Bioconductor repository: https://www.bioconductor.org.
To properly install **juicr**, start with the following R script that loads the Bioconductor resources needed to install the **EBImage** (also accept all dependencies):

``` r
install.packages("BiocManager");
BiocManager::install("EBImage")
library(metagear)
```

This dependency sometimes results in CRAN failing to generate a binary of **juicr** for your OS -- which sadly happens often. In this case install from the source, for example:

``` r
install.packages("juicr_0.1.tar.gz", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org", type = "source", dependencies = TRUE)
library(juicr)
```
