onemap vs tectonicr
A side-by-side editorial comparison of onemap and tectonicr — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
onemap vs tectonicr: at a glance
What is onemap?
A genetic-mapping mainstay that now points new users toward MAPpoly at load time
OneMap constructs genetic linkage maps for experimental crosses, and its 3.x line turned it into a hub in a wider mapping toolchain: export functions for VIEWpoly and QTLpoly, summary and interactive ordering functions adapted from MAPpoly, and retention of reference and alternative allele information from imported VCFs. The most recent release, 3.2.0 in January 2025, adds an announcement about MAPpoly to the README and the package load message, fixes a subscript-out-of-bounds warning in rf_2pts and refreshes vignettes and tests.
What is tectonicr?
Stress-field analysis tracks the 2025 World Stress Map and keeps adding plotting shortcuts.
tectonicr analyses the orientation of maximum horizontal stress, comparing observed azimuths against those predicted by plate motion in a plate-of-rotation reference frame. Version 0.4.7 added support for the 2025 World Stress Map release and made the version selectable at download; 0.4.8 followed with new summary statistics for axial data, ggplot2 geoms for plotting directions, and a faster kappa estimator.

◆ Current state
OneMap constructs genetic linkage maps for experimental crosses, and its 3.x line turned it into a hub in a wider mapping toolchain: export functions for VIEWpoly and QTLpoly, summary and interactive ordering functions adapted from MAPpoly, and retention of reference and alternative allele information from imported VCFs. The most recent release, 3.2.0 in January 2025, adds an announcement about MAPpoly to the README and the package load message, fixes a subscript-out-of-bounds warning in rf_2pts and refreshes vignettes and tests.
◆ Where it's heading
Versions 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 were driven by a benchmarking preprint on genotyping-by-sequencing best practice, and their content follows directly: marker filtering from two-point estimates, memory reduction after filtering, and optimisation of find_bins and map_avoid_unlinked. What has happened since is signposting rather than capability — a package that spent two releases integrating with MAPpoly now tells users about it every time it loads. The pre-3.0 tags are backfilled, with versions 2.3 through 2.7 sharing a single August 2021 timestamp, so their order carries no information.
◆ Prediction
The load-message announcement suggests attention is flowing toward the MAPpoly side of the toolchain; expect maintenance and compatibility releases here rather than new mapping algorithms.
tectonicr
0.0INFRA · APIS
Stress-field analysis tracks the 2025 World Stress Map and keeps adding plotting shortcuts.
◆ Current state
tectonicr analyses the orientation of maximum horizontal stress, comparing observed azimuths against those predicted by plate motion in a plate-of-rotation reference frame. Version 0.4.7 added support for the 2025 World Stress Map release and made the version selectable at download; 0.4.8 followed with new summary statistics for axial data, ggplot2 geoms for plotting directions, and a faster kappa estimator.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is maturing along two axes at once. On the statistics side the circular methods keep getting corrected and accelerated, with a major fix to est.kappa() for doubling angles before treating them as directional data and a faster approximation replacing the maximum likelihood path by default. On the usability side the additions are convenience wrappers, data2PoR() and the geom_azimuth pair, which is what a package does once its core methods stop moving. A sign convention for deviation was also flipped, which quietly changes existing results.
◆ Prediction
Expect the convenience layer to keep growing around a stable core, and the next substantive release to track whatever the World Stress Map publishes after 2025.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between onemap and tectonicr?
They serve adjacent needs but don't currently overlap on shipped themes. onemap and tectonicr are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band). See the at-a-glance table above for a side-by-side breakdown of velocity, recent sparks, and editorial themes.
Is onemap better than tectonicr?
Sparkpulse doesn't pick a winner — we score release velocity, not feature parity. onemap and tectonicr are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band).
