Hi the list, I am writing a package that happen to not be compatible with linux because I did not know that the function "savePlot" was available only on windows. Is there a list of "incompatible" function? How can I get this kind of information?
One way is to obtain a copy of the R sources and then grep the Rd files for '#ifdef'. I don't claim this is convenient.
nor sufficient - lot of it is simply in the windows directory (such as savePlot). The safest approach right now is simply to read the documentation - savePlot does tell you that it works only for the Windows device. I'm not aware of an automated list (save for dumping the function lists per-package on each platform). Cheers, Simon
There has been discussion, and I believe general consensus, that we'd like to eliminate the conditional documentation. This requires editing the Rd files to make the contents sensible (you can't just remove the #ifdef's). Patches along these lines would be welcome. + seth -- Seth Falcon | @sfalcon | http://userprimary.net/
