The plater package was an inspiration for me to write
tidyplate. There are two issues with
plater::read_plate() function that I wanted to fix. These
are:
- Performance.
- Incompatibility with excel files.
tidyplate::tidy_plate() can accept excel files as input
and after running several performance tests I can say that
tidyplate::tidy_plate() was significantly faster than
plater::read_plate(). The benchmarking code is in the
inst folder.
