[R-pkg-devel] using package data in package code
Dear Duncan, Thank you very much!
For data, the sysdata.rda file is the easiest solution. It's for data that is used by the functions in the package, not user-visible. Just put x into that file in the package/R directory to make use of it. You don't need a two-pass solution. As long as the sysdata.rda file stays unmodified, x will be available for code in the package to use as it sees fit, without any special handling. (If x is created from complicated source code that changes regularly, I'd go with one of my earlier suggestions.)
This is exactly the approach I tried first. In my naive mind, this looks to be the most natural way, and I thought it SHOULD work. However, it did not work on my computer..., and that is why I started to invent ugly work-arounds... Please see attached a minimal example to reproduce the error message: object 'x' not found. Thank you very much! Lei -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
