Hi
I wondering if its possible to make a hidden environment for a package, so
the user cant see whats in it but the diffrent functions inside the package
can use the variables in the environment.
Up to a point:
1) See the manual about the concept of a name space.
2) A package can also have one or more private environments, using
new.env() or local(): grDevices is an example.
However, R is Open Source so a determined user can find such
environments: hence 'the user cant see whats in it' (is your ' key
broken?) is not really achievable.
Hope you can understand what Im after.
