Hello. I'm trying to adapt the package “hexbin” to suit my needs. This is the first time I do this. I've read a bit through Hadley's “R packages”, but now I'm pretty lost (from a workflow point of view). I am using RStudio and Hadley's devtools.
So I forked the repo I want to adapt: https://github.com/grssnbchr/hexbin and cloned it using RStudio (I created a new project). What I basically want to do is adapt the package slightly and use the adapted source on my use case (an Rmd file in another location) - ideally, I would call the respective function (hexbin::grid.hexagons) in the Rmd and the source code of “hexbin” would be called and debugged (just for understanding what the package “hexbin” actually does in that case, I do not have to build it yet, or even publish it). What is the workflow for this? Also, I tried running devtools::check() and it already fails there: R version 3.2.5 (2016-04-14) -- "Very, Very Secure Dishes" Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) > devtools::check() Updating hexbin documentation Loading hexbin Creating a generic function for ‘plot’ from package ‘graphics’ in package ‘hexbin’ Creating a generic function for ‘summary’ from package ‘base’ in package ‘hexbin’ Setting env vars ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CFLAGS : -Wall -pedantic CXXFLAGS: -Wall -pedantic Building hexbin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ '/usr/lib/R/bin/R' --no-site-file --no-environ --no-save --no-restore --quiet CMD build '/home/tgrossen/R/hexbin' --no-resave-data --no-manual * checking for file ‘/home/tgrossen/R/hexbin/DESCRIPTION’ ...

ERROR Error: processing vignette 'hexagon_binning.Rnw' failed with diagnostics: chunk 1 (label = comphexsq) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : could not find function “hexbin” Execution halted Error: Command failed (1) As you can see, I am very much lost. I googled for "adapt R package and debug" and so forth but couldn't find any tutorial or anything.
