[R] R newbie configuration

[Petr Pikal]

Hi

here is my example of .Rprofile file


require(graphics)
require(utils)

# setHook(packageEvent("graphics", "onLoad"), function(...) 
# graphics::par(bg="white"))  ## did not manage to persuade setHook 
# to work properly

par(bg="white")
RNGkind("Mersenne-Twister", "Inversion")

# some set of my functions and data

.libPaths("D:/programy/R/R-2.2.0/library/fun")
library(fun)
data(stand)
