In "An Introduction to R" (See R help menu), there is an example of a function
'open.account' that makes use of the lexical scope in R.
I have a set of functions that can be used to output R tables and graphics into a
single report document. (I am aware that several tools can do this already).
While reorganizing my code, I realize that I can collect my functions in a list, in
the style of 'open.account' above. This will result in a list containing data and
operations on those data. The data is for example the file name of the report. This
also results in a rather large object instead of a set of rather small functions and a
list of data.
Writing a package of these functions (or this object containing functions), would
require documentation of each function. The style that I see in the R help is that the
functions are not enclosed like this in a list.
I like the idea of having the functions collected in a single list, but I think the
documentation might be messy.
Any ideas, opinions, anyone?
Thanks in advance,
Sixten.
Example:
myreport <- report(filename="report.rtf")
my.report$add.table(my.data.frame, "Table of ...")
plot(runif(10))
my.report$add.picture("Plot of ...")
or...
r <- report(filename="report.rtf")
r <- add.table(r, my.data.frame, "Table of...")
plot(runit(10))
r <- add.picture(r, "Plot of...")
