[R] Building Packages.

[Jorgen Harmse]

I was thinking of making it Open Source, but I haven’t yet. It’s mostly a collection of small utility functions (more oxygen comments than actual code). I built the package on my Windows machine a few months ago, but my Mac first wouldn’t install roygen2 & devtools and now (with the latest version of R) won’t install the tarball that they create. (A work-around that I might try again is to build the package under Windows and ship the tarball to my Mac.)

Regards,
Jorgen.

Example:

#' Adjust number of columns used in printing

#'

#' Use \code{\link{options}} to determine the current number of columns, increment

#' or decrement, and pass the result as \code{width} in a second call to \code{options}.

#'

#' @param dw signed amount by which to increment the number of columns

#'

#' @return a list with the old value of \code{options('width')}

#'

#' @export



width <- function(dw) options(width = options('width')[[1L]] + as.integer(dw))

Is the source for your package online somewhere?
