The new R version of ENMTools is in the works! Here's how to build an enmtools.species object.

But for real this time.  I've started over entirely from scratch, and I'm using the new R package as a foundation for some novel analyses that I'm developing as part of my current research.  You can download it and view a fairly lengthy manual of what's currently implemented here:

https://github.com/danlwarren/ENMTools

For reasons that will become clear with time (when some of the downstream stuff gets finished), the way you interface with ENMTools is going to be a bit different from how you work with dismo or Biomod.  First off, you start by defining enmtools.species objects for each species (or population) that you want to compare.

Here I'll create one called ahli (based on data from Anolis ahli).

ahli = enmtools.species()

Now that doesn't have any data associated with it, so if we get a summary of it, we basically just hear back from R that we don't have any data.

ahli

## 
## 
## Range raster not defined.
## 
## Presence points not defined.
## 
## Background points not defined.
## 
## Species name not defined.

So let's add some data:

ahli$species.name = "ahli"
ahli$presence.points = read.csv("test/testdata/ahli.csv")[,3:4]

ahli$background.points = background.points.buffer(ahli$presence.points, 20000, 1000, env[[1]])

ahli

And then look at it again:

## 
## 
## Range raster: 
## class       : RasterLayer 
## dimensions  : 418, 1535, 641630  (nrow, ncol, ncell)

## extent      : -86.90809, -74.11642, 19.80837, 23.2917  (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
## coord. ref. : NA 
## data source : in memory
## names       : layer.1 
## values      : 1, 1  (min, max)

Neat, huh?  Next up I'll show you how to build an ENM.
