Dear list,

 

I've had this a few times now, and wonder if this is possible:

I'm using a package, often for plotting something, but I want to tune the
way the plotting goes, in a way that was not foreseen by the maker of the
package.

Now, most of the time, these kinds of R functions (say pkg::plot.something)
call into other R functions (say pkg::plot.something.internal), and it is
these that I want to tinker with.

 

So, my question is: can I replace an R function in a package with  a version
of my own, without having to somehow rebuild the package? I don't just want
a non-package bound copy of the function, I want to make sure that when I
call pkg::plot.something, this works as before, but when, from within this
function, pkg:: plot.something.internal is called, I want it to call _my_
version of it.

 

Any takes?
