trackdf - A data frame class for tracking data

Description

trackdf is a R package that aims to standardize and accelerate the processing of data describing animal trajectories captured in the lab (e.g., video tracking) or in the field (e.g., GPS trackers). trackdf provides a data frame-like class based on the popular tibble class and is compatible with both base R and most of the functions from the tidyverse (e.g., dplyr, ggplot2).

trackdf is a work in progress. Functions are not yet in a stable state and are likely to change as the package gets developed.
