A figure region is prepared, creating a plot region with suitable background color, grid lines or shadings, and providing axes and labeling if not suppressed. Subsequently, information carrying graphics elements can be added (points, lines, barplot with add=TRUE and so forth).

Reconcile species names across datasets and phylogenetic trees
    for comparative biology workflows. Identifies mismatches due to formatting
    differences, taxonomic synonymy, and spelling errors. Produces detailed
    reports documenting how each name was resolved, which taxonomic authority
    was used, and what remains unresolved. Supports exact matching, name
    normalisation, synonym resolution via local taxonomic databases, and
    fuzzy matching for likely typos. Detects taxonomic splits and lumps. For
    methodological context, see Nakagawa et al. (2026)
    <doi:10.32942/X2468Z>.

Provides classes to pre-process microarray gene
  expression data as part of the OOMPA collection of packages
  described at <http://oompa.r-forge.r-project.org/>.

Preprocess numeric data matrices into desired transformed representations.
    Standardization, Unitization, Cubitization and adaptive intervals are offered.

In this record linkage package, data preprocessing has been meticulously executed
  to cover a wide range of datasets, ensuring that variable names are standardized using synonyms. 
  This approach facilitates seamless data integration and analysis across various datasets. While users 
  have the flexibility to modify variable names, the system intelligently ensures that 
  changes are only permitted when they do not compromise data consistency or essential variable essence.

An interactive document for preprocessing the dataset using  'rmarkdown' and 'shiny' packages. Runtime examples are provided in the package function as well as at  <https://analyticmodels.shinyapps.io/PREPShiny/>.

Miscellaneous small utilities are provided to mitigate issues with messy, inconsistent or high dimensional data and help for preprocessing and preparing analyses.
