Perhaps you could add a Makefile with a rule that compiles the vignettes into the inst/doc directory? This might avoid the build process. - Zhian N. Kamvar, Ph. D. Postdoctoral Researcher (Everhart Lab) Department of Plant Pathology University of Nebraska-Lincoln > On Apr 20, 2017, at 15:3

To rephrase my needs, I need to find a way to create the file /Meta/vignette.rds at install, not build, as all other files for the vignettes to run are being installed properly. Has anyone managed to do that? For now my horrible hack is to have a function calling the vignette through a call to brow

Thanks but I don't think so, that would imply them to rebuild the vignettes, which is exactly what I want to avoid. Without knitr cached chunk it would take forever on their laptops and they would also need to install tons of packages... ++ On 20 April 2017 at 21:01, Sven E Templer wrote: > Hi A

Thanks all for the suggestions. If I have screenshots in the Vignette, where should I put the picture files - in the vignette folder (this is so it will work when submitted to CRAN)? As for why display the result, just a design decision. Sometimes it makes sense to display right away the resul

David, I'd suggest creating a vignette for each of HTML and PDF, and including a source file that contains the common code. e.g. have a pdf header and an html header file, and then include the 'main' Rmd as a child doc from each header Rmd. This way R CMD build could build both pdf and html

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

Dear Roy, In case you create a HTML vignette you can use datatable() from the DT package. That creates a dynamic table in the output. Best regards, ir. Thierry Onkelinx Instituut voor natuur- en bosonderzoek / Research Institute for Nature and Forest team Biometrie & Kwaliteitszorg / team Biomet
