Revisit function naming
There are now a lot more functions within usmap than when the project was started. There should be some thought given to the naming of these functions going forward (before we reach a stable 1.0 release).
If the functions are to be changed, they will be renamed by v0.7.0 and the old function names will remain but be deprecated until v1.0.0 (where they will be removed).
| Current Name | Proposed Name |
|---|---|
fips |
|
fips_info |
|
map_with_data |
|
plot_usmap |
|
usmap_crs |
|
usmap_transform |
|
usmap |
I recommend changing usmap_transform to something different that does not include "usmap". This is confusing as it implies I am transforming your map, and not my data frame to conform to your maps.
Changed the target release for this change from v0.6.0 to v0.7.0 since usmapdata changes are going into v0.6.0. This allows for more separation of large changes between multiple releases.
Since it's been so long since I first came up with this idea I've decided to put it on hold since the functions have been named this way for many years at this point and there will be some friction to re-learning any new names, even with a deprecation schedule.
I may revisit this in the future, especially after 1.0 (if usmap ever even reaches that version number 🤪).
