This is an auxiliary package to [rdwd](https://github.com/brry/rdwd#rdwd).  
`dwdradar` is used in some of the functions underlying `readDWD()`,
see the [raster chapter](https://brry.github.io/rdwd/raster-data.html) in the documentation.

### Installation

*Regular:*
```R
install.packages("dwdradar")
```

*Latest version:*  
Note: on Windows, you need to have [Rtools](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/)
installed directly at `C:/Rtools`  
(Compiler paths may not have spaces, as there would be with `C:/Program Files/R/Rtools/`).
```R
if(!requireNamespace("remotes", quietly=TRUE)) install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("brry/dwdradar")
```

### History
The main function, `readRadarFile`, was originally developed inside the `rdwd` package, see [version history](https://github.com/brry/rdwd/commits/7ab29c92f5257d7801f22413725c6cdd4ca6cc13/R/readRadarFile.R) there.  
Development since Oct 2019 can be tracked in the corresponding dwdradar [version history](https://github.com/brry/dwdradar/commits/master/R/readRadarFile.R).
