[R-pkg-devel] some notes

Everyone, I appreciate for your help!
Hey Uwe Ligges:
There are four examples in my package: read data, calculate correlation,
plot, and summarize connection network. The plot is the slowest one and
I have to use donttest{} to avoid testing it on CRAN. All other examples
are fast and take less than 10s, so I can let CRAN test it.
Also Swetlana suggest me to write a vignette to demonstrate plot.
However, my plot is in rgl device (an rgl window separated from default
R plot window) and cannot be integrated into rmarkdown.
That's not true -- see the rgl vignettes, and the rglwidget() function. The main limitation is that the output needs to be HTML rather than LaTeX/PDF. (There are ways to incorporate interactive rgl graphics into PDF documents, but they are limited and fragile, so I don't recommend them.) Duncan Murdoch
So in a nutshell: can I just use donttest{} to my plot example and
comment that it takes a long time to run?
It is my first time to submit r package, sorry for any inconvenience!
Thank you very much for your help!

? ????? If it becomes infeasible to find smaller datasets,
etc., you can
cut out certain tests with a construct like the following:
if(!fda::CRAN()){
# ... tests to run on other computers but to skip on CRAN.? ...
}
Ummm, how should fda::CRAN() now that it runs on CRAN?
CRAN prefers to ship a set of examples/tests etc. that meet our
requirements. If you want to ru addtional tests and/or examples,
then
run them conditionally on something that is true for your local
machine,
e.g. some defined environment variable.
For Xubo Yue, who may not be aware of all of the players:
Uwe Ligges is one of the individuals who runs CRAN.? When you submit
a package to CRAN, you are asking Uwe and others to distribute your
work. You should listen to what he says.
Spencer Graves and I are not involved in running CRAN.? We will give
you advice that we think is good advice, but if it conflicts with
Uwe's, follow his.
