Hi, folks:
I have used R for some time and have not explore deep inside the codes
of the packages.
Today, I try to modify some code in a package of arrayQuality (I do not
think it matters which package it is).
There is a function called maQualityPlots and I use fix(maQualityPlots)
that I can view and edit the code of this function.
However, there is another function qpMAPlots that I want to edit,
1. I type in ?qpMAPlots, it says:
Internal functions package:arrayQuality R Documentation
Internal arrayQuality functions
Description:
Internal arrayQuality functions
Details:
These are not to be called by the user.
(END)
2. I try to fix(qpMAPlots) and it gives me:
function()
{
}
3. I type in getAnywhere(qpMAPlots), it shows the code, but how should I
edit it?
Does anybody have idea of what should I do?
I have no prior experience on editing the codes of an existed package so
please some body could help me with this.
You should get the source to the package and edit that. It may have
comments in the code explaining why things were done a certain way; you
should certainly add comments explaining your changes. Installing the
package from source is described in the Writing R Extensions manual.
It's pretty easy, once you have the tools available; on Linux those are
often already there, and on Windows, you'll need to download some.
MacOS is a bit of both.
