I am writing a package, which contains several functions and variables. The variables are for internal use by functions. Functions are ment to be callable by a user. However, the function cannot access these variables.
The package contains only R code, and was created using package.skeleton package.skeleton(name="ac9", list=c(ls(pattern="(AB2)|(ac9)"), "Chl","Pro","LP","SP","syn","unk","Y","Nh", "plot.C","read.AC9.data","EstimC","plot.AC9"), namespace=TRUE,force=TRUE) Among others, the package contains the functions EstimC, AB2C, AB2C.S, and AB2C.HK, and variables ac9nw, ac9wl, ac9aw, ... Functions use these variables for calculations, and I would like to hide them from users. The file NAMESPACE contains the single line: export(AB2C.HK,AB2C,AB2C.S,EstimC,plot.C,read.AC9.data,plot.AC9) I am getting the following error: Error in AB2C(a, b, model.type) : object "ac9nw" not found > traceback() 2: AB2C(a, b, model.type) 1: EstimC(i, plot.base.name = paste(plt.base.name, "S_", sep = ""), model.type = "S") > sessionInfo() R version 2.5.0 Patched (2007-05-13 r41549) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: LC_COLLATE=Russian_Russia.1251;LC_CTYPE=Russian_Russia.1251;LC_MONETARY=Russian_Russia.1251;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Russian_Russia.1251 attached base packages: [1] "datasets" "utils" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "methods" [7] "base" other attached packages: ac9 xlsReadWrite matlab MASS "0.1" "1.3.2" "0.8-1" "7.2-33" -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-accessing-internal-variable-in-package.-tf3814649.html#a10798364 Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
