Hi,
I'm building a package in R and not able to find key information for a
couple of things.
1. I have a .png graphic that the R code uses in print-outs it creates.
What is the appropriate folder, or manner to incorporate a .png into the
package?
2. I have two .txt data files I want incorporated into the package for
possible use by users, as well. When I put them in the data folder, I get
errors, and they get converted somehow.... What is the proper way to put
these data files into the package?
You can put arbitrary files into a subdirectory of inst in your package,
e.g. inst/pngfiles or inst/textfiles. The subdirectory will be
installed one level up when your package is installed, so you can't use
a standard directory name (R, src, etc.), but you can use anything else.
You can find the files from code using system.file().
BTW, questions about package development should be sent to the R-devel
list.
