huito vs tealeaves
A side-by-side editorial comparison of huito and tealeaves — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
huito vs tealeaves: at a glance
What is huito?
A label designer for field research keeps chasing the gap between screen and printed page.
huito builds printable labels and tags from R, aimed at field research where every plot and sample needs one. Version 0.2.6 tracks the current ggplot2 release, lets image options be passed as a list, and extends include_text() with a prefix argument and font face control. Releases are infrequent and each is small.
What is tealeaves?
A leaf-temperature model that finished its job in 2020 and has stayed finished
tealeaves solves for leaf temperature from an energy balance, using explicit units to keep parameters consistent and modelling lower and upper leaf surfaces separately so sensible and latent heat loss are computed for each. The package reached its current form in 2020 across versions 1.0.2 to 1.0.5, which added direct or functional sky temperature, dplyr 1.0.0 compatibility, and fixes to a parameter-crossing bug that the new sky temperature function had introduced. The only release since, v1.0.6 in July 2022, corrects a name in the citation file, stops parallel evaluation in a vignette and fixes README links.

A label designer for field research keeps chasing the gap between screen and printed page.
◆ Current state
huito builds printable labels and tags from R, aimed at field research where every plot and sample needs one. Version 0.2.6 tracks the current ggplot2 release, lets image options be passed as a list, and extends include_text() with a prefix argument and font face control. Releases are infrequent and each is small.
◆ Where it's heading
Almost every change in the feed is about the physical output rather than the API: printing exactly one page when the label set is short, avoiding quality loss when an image is rotated into the PDF, real-size hexagons for stickers, borders suppressed with width zero. That is the right preoccupation for a package whose result is measured with a ruler, and it is why the notes read as small even when the fix matters. The remaining work tracks ggplot2, which the package renders through.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued ggplot2 compatibility releases and more control over element placement and typography. Nothing suggests a change in what the package is for.

◆ Current state
tealeaves solves for leaf temperature from an energy balance, using explicit units to keep parameters consistent and modelling lower and upper leaf surfaces separately so sensible and latent heat loss are computed for each.

The only release since, v1.0.6 in July 2022, corrects a name in the citation file, stops parallel evaluation in a vignette and fixes README links.
◆ Where it's heading
This is finished scientific software. The arc runs from a 1.0.0 that already described the full model, through a usability decision in 1.0.1 to accept unitless values and assign units rather than demand them, to a 2020 cluster of compatibility and correctness work around publication. Nothing since has touched the model, and the 2022 release is pure paperwork. Its most instructive entry remains 1.0.5, where a new feature silently produced incorrect parameter crossing and the fix arrived with tests to pin the behaviour.
◆ Prediction
Expect nothing unless a dependency or CRAN check forces a release; on this record any such release will be documentation and packaging rather than a change to the energy balance.
