Big, complex, well-structured .R file for demonstration?
Just because you have an editor that can let you see the organization within the file does not mean the code itself is well-structured. If you do put a lot of code in one file, you will be more likely in your next project that builds on this one to load code you do not need (bloat), and that is a very practical defect in the structure of the current project. Regardless of any arguments you can think of to the contrary, that is why single large files with otherwise well-structured code are uncommon.

Some would argue that "big" and "well structured" are not compatible.
Part
of structuring a project well is knowing when and how to break it
into
smaller pieces, so those authors who are best at creating well
structured R
code will often split it between several small files rather than one
big
file.
As Emacs Org-mode has proven for text files, this structuring into smaller pieces can be done in one single file too (that is structured as a hierarchical outline tree) an this can be even more convenient than to deal with many small files. But otherwise I agree with you, its much better to split a file up before it becomes a growing mess.

Hi List, I'm looking for a rather big, but well structured R file that
contains
as much of R language features as possible (i.e. that uses a lot of
the
functionality described in the 'R Reference Card' and, if possible,
S4
classes too). I want to check some code I wrote against such a file and use it for demonstration purposes. However, most .R files I find out there are rather short without much structure. Any links to candidate (open source) files would be appreciated. -- cheers, Thorsten
