[Rd] Fwd: Understanding R's Environment concept
*Initially, I posted this topic in R-help however, folks there suggested me to post this in R-devel forum. Here is my problem* Hi all, I am trying to understand the R's environment concept however the underlying help files look quite technical to me. Can experts here provide me some more intuitive ideas behind this concept like, why it is there, what exactly it is doing in R's architecture etc.? I mainly need some non-technical intuitive explanation. Thanks, __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
[Rd] Creating package Vignette
Hi all, I was trying to create some vignette files for my newly developed package, however wondering whether there could be any simpler way to do so. In writing R extension it is advised to go through Sweave route, however I have already got a big pdf file and want to use this as package vignette. So far I have manually created the inst/doc folder in the main package skeleton, and put that file into this, which is not working by calling vignette(file_name) after I build and load the package. I am getting following error without opening that pdf file: vignette 'file_name' *not* found So I like to know, is there any way to use any arbitrary pdf file as vignette? Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks, __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

[Rd] How to add a welcome message in Package development?
Dear all, it is my first post in R-devel list, and hope that this is the right place to ask question related to package development. I have created my first package in Windows through the usual route. Now I want to add some ***Welcome message*** as soon as user loads my package into their R console, using library() function. However I could not figure out where and how should I add this functionality in entire package development procedure, and the Writing R Exts document also seem to be mum on this issue. Can somebody help me how to add this functionality in the development route of package. I believe this is possible as in many existing packages that functionality is present.
