Dear R-List Members,
I am looking for collaborators to further develop the BioShapes
almost-package. I added a brief description below.
A.) BioShapes (Almost-) Package
The aim of the BioShapes quasi-package is to facilitate the generation
of graphical objects resembling biological and chemical entities,
enabling the construction of diagrams based on these objects. It
currently includes functions to generate diagrams depicting viral
particles, liposomes, double helix / DNA strands, various cell types
(like neurons, brush-border cells and duct cells), Ig-domains, as well
as more basic shapes.
It should offer researchers in the field of biological and chemical
sciences a tool to easily generate diagrams depicting the studied
biological processes.
The package lacks a proper documentation and is not yet released on
CRAN. However, it is available on GitHub:
https://github.com/discoleo/BioShapes
Although there are 27 unique cloners on GitHub, I am still looking for
contributors and collaborators. I would appreciate any collaborations to
develop it further. I can be contacted both by email and on GitHub.
B.) Documentation Tools
Is there a succinct, but sufficiently informative description of
documentation tools?
I find that including the documentation in the source files is very
distracting. I would prefer to have only basic comments in the source
files and an expanded documentation in a separate location.
This question may be more appropriate for the R-package-devel list. I
can move the 2nd question to that list.
###
As the biological sciences are very vast, I would be very happy for
collaborators on the development of this package. Examples with existing
shapes are available in (but are unfortunately not documented):
Man/examples/Examples.Man.R
R/Examples.R
R/Examples.Cells.R
tests/experimental/*
Many thanks,
Leonard
