I have a 100x2 matrix to go into a package. I could type it into the R code but, more generally, what is the *best* way to read a table from disk into, say, package 'foo' when it is loaded into memory via library(foo)? I thought of having .onLoad create an environment and assign a matrix read from disk (read.csv), put "tbl.csv" into the directory 'inst/extdata' as recommended ("Writing R Extensions"), and use the .Library string to find the path to 'foo/inst/extdata'. However, I don't see other packages using an 'inst/extdata' directory.
Is there a "conventional" way to read auxiliary tables into a package when it is loaded? Thanks in advance for any help.
