DramaAnalysis 3.0.0 (2019-07-10)

This is a redesign and complete overhaul of the R package. Existing code that uses functions of the package cannot be expected to continue to run without modifications. The major changes (compared to 2.x) are:

• Classes: Most functions now produce a classed object. This makes it easier to prevent an erroneous use of functions.
• Ids and names: All functions now rely only on character ids. If one needs character names for plotting and visualization, they can be inserted later using characterNames(), with a controlled formatting.
• Data files now include stage directions and character mentions, and functions can process them
• Extensive documentation in the form of a tutorial: https://quadrama.github.io/DramaAnalysis/tutorial/3/
• The wording in documentation and functions has been updated, so that figures are now called characters.
• Some functions have been renamed:
  • setup() is now called setDirectories() to avoid name conflicts
  • figureStatistics() is now called characterStatistics()
• Some functions have been removed:
  • rankFiguresByAppearance()
  • rankFiguresByDramatisPersonae()
  • regroup()
  • dictionaryStatisticsL()
  • limitFigures()
  • filterMentioned()
  • dramaHead()
  • dramaTail()
  • enrichDictionary()
