[Rd] UML Class and Object Diagrams in R

[spencerg]

I'm not familiar with 'class and object diagrams', but have you tried 
the sos package available from CRAN via something like the following: 


library(sos)
cod <- findFn('class and object diagram')
cods <- findFn('class and object diagrams')
(cod. <- cod|cods)
summary(cod.)


      When I ran this just now, cod included 287 matches and cods 126, 
totalling 413.  Their union 'cod.' 356 links in 100 packages;  the print 
method opened the results as a table in a browser sorted to put the 
packages with the most, best matches first, with links to each manual 
page.  The 7 packages with the most, best matches were given by the 
summary: 


Packages with at least 7 matches using pattern
  'class+and+object+diagram | class+and+object+diagrams'
