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.)
Same from here, note that Swetlana generally suggested to move things that are slightly longer than the 5sec threshhold for examples to tests *or* perhaps in vignettes, this was not intended as a specific advice for this particular example. Best, Uwe
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!
