berryFunctions 1.5

• To-Do-list centralized and sorted here, no to-Dos left in source code.
• climateGraph: argument lists for each polygon with owa. sum and avg now at figure margins via mtext.
• createDoc: extreme simplification of creation of usage section. Now creates new .Rd file if one already exists. Backslash handling optimized, but not perfect yet. Now allows latex in arg explanation, but the function start has to be indicated by a single { in an otherwise empty line. "fun" argument does not have to be in quotation marks anymore. Equal sign in defaults now handled correctly.
• logVals: Default values for 'from' and 'to' changed

• owa: throws an understandable error when unnamed arguments are in the list
• lsc: now warns when sum under UH is !=1. Calculation time Rcmd check in examples reduced. nse and rmse explicitly called from this package.

• require2 received the alias library2
• colPoints, colPointsLegend: generally rewritten. classification methods, cpHist and smallPlot added.
• extremeStatLmom: code for legend arguments improved (with owa)
• packages lmom and spatstat were moved from "suggests" to "imports", as they are within functions and not just in the examples.
• New functions: normPlot, betaPlot, exp4p, compFiles, funTinn, pretty2, colPointsHist, classify, smallPlot
• Removed functions: compareDoc (Rcmd check does this better, once a package is set up), extremeStat (replaced with extremeStatLmom)

• Added To-Do list with my personal wishes (and some comments from other people) at the top of this ChangeLog.
• Examples in several functions received line breaks / shortening
• extremeStatLmom: p.value by ks.test as measure for goodness of fit addded. Output is now data.frame instead of matrix. Value field in Doc is complemented. Examples are updated.
• lsc: example QP-Data is now a file in the package folder extdata, not a dropbox link anymore (files were accidentally deleted and it was too slow anyways). P and Q labels are now placed in the outer margin.
• mReg: ditto for temp data
• New function: linLogTrans
