Generate contour lines (isolines) and contour polygons (isobands) from regularly spaced grids containing elevation data. Package originally written by Claus Wilke and donated to r-lib in 2022.

## Installation

Install the latest official release from CRAN via:
``` r
install.packages("isoband")
```

Install the current development from github via:
``` r
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("r-lib/isoband")
```

## Examples

The two main workhorses of the package are the functions `isolines()` and `isobands()`, respectively. They return a list of isolines/isobands for each isolevel specified. Each isoline/isoband consists of vectors of x and y coordinates, as well as a vector of ids specifying which sets of coordinates should be connected. This format can be handed directly to `grid.polyline()`/`grid.path()` for drawing. However, we can also convert the output to spatial features and draw with ggplot2 (see below).

```{r basic-example}
library(isoband)

m <- matrix(c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 1, 2, 1, 0,
0, 1, 2, 0, 0,
0, 1, 0, 1, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0), 5, 5, byrow = TRUE)

isolines(1:ncol(m), 1:nrow(m), m, 0.5)

isobands(1:ncol(m), 1:nrow(m), m, 0.5, 1.5)
```

The function `plot_iso()` is a convenience function for debugging and testing.
```{r basic-example-plot, fig.asp = 1, out.width = "50%"}
plot_iso(m, 0.5, 1.5)
```

The isolining and isobanding algorithms have no problem with larger datasets. Let’s calculate isolines and isobands for the volcano dataset, convert to sf, and plot with ggplot2.

```{r volcano, fig.asp = 1, out.width = "50%"}
library(ggplot2)
suppressWarnings(library(sf))

m <- volcano
b <- isobands((1:ncol(m))/(ncol(m)+1), (nrow(m):1)/(nrow(m)+1), m, 10*(9:19), 10*(10:20))
l <- isolines((1:ncol(m))/(ncol(m)+1), (nrow(m):1)/(nrow(m)+1), m, 10*(10:19))

bands <- iso_to_sfg(b)
data_bands <- st_sf(
level = 1:length(bands),
geometry = st_sfc(bands)
)
lines <- iso_to_sfg(l)
data_lines <- st_sf(
level = 2:(length(lines)+1),
geometry = st_sfc(lines)
)

ggplot() +
geom_sf(data = data_bands, aes(fill = level), color = NA, alpha = 0.7) +
geom_sf(data = data_lines, color = "black") +
scale_fill_viridis_c(guide = "none") +
coord_sf(expand = FALSE)
```
