List MomX ecosystem packages

Source: R/MomX.R
momx_packages.Rd

These functions return character vectors of package names in the MomX ecosystem. Use them to see which packages are available, check installation status, or programmatically install packages.

Usage

momx_packages(include_self = FALSE)

momx_packages_core()

momx_packages_extended()

momx_packages_all()

Arguments

include_self

For momx_packages(): Include the MomX meta-package itself in the list? Default is FALSE.

Value

A character vector of package names.

Details

The MomX ecosystem is organized into two tiers:

Core packages (loaded automatically with library(MomX)):

  • Momocs2: Core morphometric methods and data structures for outline and landmark analysis

  • Momacs: Interactive digitization tools for extracting coordinates from images

  • Momoshop: Image processing pipeline builder for reproducible preprocessing

Extended packages (install separately as needed):

  • Momdata: Curated example datasets for teaching and testing

  • Momstats: Advanced statistical methods for shape analysis

Functions

momx_packages()

Returns all packages by reading from the MomX DESCRIPTION file. This is the canonical list.

momx_packages_core()

Returns only core packages that are loaded automatically with library(MomX).

momx_packages_extended()

Returns only extended packages that should be installed separately.

momx_packages_all()

Returns all packages (core + extended). Equivalent to momx_packages() but uses the internal vectors.
