Hi all,
The profr package provides a method for displaying its output with
ggplot: ggplot.print. You don't need this ggplot2 to use profr, so
ggplot2 is listed under enhances in the DESCRIPTION file.
If I have just S3method(ggplot, profr) in my NAMESPACE, then I get:
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error : object 'ggplot' not found whilst loading namespace 'profr'
ERROR: loading failed
If I have both S3method(ggplot, profr) and importFrom(ggplot2,
ggplot), then I get:
* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Namespace dependency not required: ggplot2
What's the correct way of exporting an S3 method for a generic in a
suggested package?
Thanks,
Hadley
