[R-pkg-devel] Interplay between knitr() and View()

[David Hugh-Jones]

Two questions:

1. If your package definitely needs to call View(), and you want to explain
how that will look, then why not show one or more screenshots in your
documentation?

2. Why does your package need to call View? Why can't it return the
metadata as a data frame, and let the user do what he wants with it himself
- using View(), head(), or any other tool?

Cheers
