Re: [R-pkg-devel] translation .mo files

Dear Paul, Here's some information that I prepared for translators of the Rcmdr package, slightly edited to make it more generic. Perhaps you'll find it useful: R provides a general facility for translating messages from English to other languages using the GNU gettext translation tools

[R-pkg-devel] advice about errorCondition() function in the Rcmdr package

Dear list members, I noticed that there's a name clash between errorCondition() in the Rcmdr package and the new function by the same name in the base package in R 3.6.0. errorCondition() has been in the Rcmdr package for many years and is used extensively -- literally dozens of times. It's exp

[R-pkg-devel] creating a link to a vignette in a .Rd file

Dear r-package-devel list members, I'd like to create a link to a package vignette from a help file in the same package, for example to the "partial-residuals" vignette in the effects package from effect.Rd. I'm able to generate a URL for the vignette as follows: \Sexpr[results=text]{pa

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Trying to work around missing functionality

Hi John, It's possible that I didn’t follow what you did, but it appears as if you call globalVariables() *inside* the function. Instead try to do as Richard Heiberger suggested and place the call outside of the function, e.g., in a source file in the package R directory named globals.R. (Of co

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Package builds, installs, and runs but does not pass devtools::check()

Dear Michael, You could add a call to globalVariables() in the package sources for cases like this. I hope this helps, John - John Fox Professor Emeritus McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Web: https://socialsciences.mc

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Changing a package's name

Dear David, No one at CRAN has responded yet, so I'll take a stab at it. First, you're right about the resonance of "huxtable" for North Americans, and if the package were mine, I'd be slightly embarrassed about the name. CRAN generally will not allow you to rename a package, for several obviou

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Problem in stats::model.matrix when omitting two-way interactions

Dear Paul, Isn't this really a question for r-help rather than r-package-devel? In any event, I think that your message is based on (an entirely understandable) misunderstanding of what the : operator on the right-hand side of a model formula does. The : operator is equivalent to %in%, and used

[R-pkg-devel] multiple bibentry()s in CITATION

Dear list members, I've noticed that citation(package="pkg") generates both a text citation and a BiBTeX entry when the CITATION file contains a single call to bibentry() or citEntry(), but that only text citations are shown if there are multiple calls to bibentry() or citEntry(). Is this beh

Re: [R-pkg-devel] data function from utils package

Dear Mike, Perhaps it's stating the obvious, but why not save the .csv file with ";" as the delimiter using the sep argument to write.csv() or write.table(), or save as a .txt file with " " as the delimiter? Although I don't know why ";" was chosen in preference to "," for data(), I doubt that
