## The grid intro vignette -- open it
|
- |
|
| 77 |
\dontrun{vignette("grid") # calling print()}
|
- |
|
| 78 |
## The same (conditional on existence of the vignette).
|
- |
|
| 79 |
## Note that 'package = *' is much faster in the case of many installed packages:
|
- |
|
| 80 |
if(!is.null(v1 <- vignette("grid", package="grid"))) {
|
- |
|
| 81 |
\dontrun{v1 # calling print(.)}
|
- |
|
| 82 |
str(v1)
|
- |
|
| 83 |
## Now let us have a closer look at the code
|
- |
|
| 84 |
%% print(utils:::getRcode(v1)) # the R file name
|
- |
|
| 85 |
%% if(interactive()) # "display" it
|
- |
|
| 86 |
%% file.show(utils:::getRcode(v1))
|
- |
|
| 87 |
%% ## or even more interactively:
|
- |
|
| 88 |
\dontrun{edit(v1) # e.g., to send lines ...}
|
- |
|
| 89 |
}# if( has vignette "installed")
|
- |
|
| 90 |
## A package can have more than one vignette (package grid has several):
|
76 |
## List all vignettes of a specific package (package 'grid' has several)
|
| 91 |
vignette(package = "grid")
|
77 |
vignette(package = "grid")
|
| - |
|
78 |
|
| - |
|
79 |
## Open one of the 'grid' vignettes
|
| 92 |
if(interactive()) {
|
80 |
if(interactive()) {
|
| 93 |
## vignette("rotated")
|
81 |
## vignette("rotated", package = "grid")
|
| - |
|
82 |
## Or, the same:
|
| - |
|
83 |
vignette(grid::rotated) # calling the print() method
|
| - |
|
84 |
}
|
| - |
|
85 |
|
| 94 |
## The same, but without searching for it:
|
86 |
## Now open the 'grid' intro vignette -- without specifying the package
|
| - |
|
87 |
\dontrun{vignette("grid")}
|
| - |
|
88 |
## OK, but warns as this topic is ambiguous: both {grid} and {lattice} have it.
|
| - |
|
89 |
## => Specify the 'package' argument or use the <package>::<topic> syntax
|
| - |
|
90 |
## (also accelerates vignette retrieval, esp. with many installed packages):
|
| 95 |
vignette("rotated", package = "grid")
|
91 |
v1 <- vignette("grid", package = "grid") # not "printed" (opened) yet
|
| - |
|
92 |
if(inherits(v1, "vignette")) { # it was found installed
|
| - |
|
93 |
\dontrun{print(v1) # open it}
|
| - |
|
94 |
str(v1)
|
| - |
|
95 |
## To open the associated R code in an editor:
|
| - |
|
96 |
\dontrun{edit(v1) # e.g., to send lines ...}
|
| - |
|
97 |
%% print(rfilepath <- utils:::getRcode(v1))
|
| - |
|
98 |
%% if(interactive()) file.show(rfilepath)
|
| 96 |
