Colored Terminal Output

The crayon package is now superseded. Please use the 'cli' package for new projects. Colored terminal output on terminals that support 'ANSI' color and highlight codes. It also works in 'Emacs' 'ESS'. 'ANSI' color support is automatically detected. Colors and highlighting can be combined and nested. New styles can also be created easily. This package was inspired by the 'chalk' 'JavaScript' project.

Cross-Platform File System Operations Based on 'libuv'

A cross-platform interface to file system operations, built on top of the 'libuv' C library.

Terminal Progress Bars

Configurable Progress bars, they may include percentage, elapsed time, and/or the estimated completion time. They work in terminals, in 'Emacs' 'ESS', 'RStudio', 'Windows' 'Rgui' and the 'macOS' 'R.app'. The package also provides a 'C++' 'API', that works with or without 'Rcpp'.

In-Line Documentation for R

Generate your Rd documentation, 'NAMESPACE' file, and collation field using specially formatted comments. Writing documentation in-line with code makes it easier to keep your documentation up-to-date as your requirements change. 'roxygen2' is inspired by the 'Doxygen' system for C++.

Call R from R

It is sometimes useful to perform a computation in a separate R process, without affecting the current R process at all. This packages does exactly that.

R Package Installation from Remote Repositories, Including 'GitHub'

Download and install R packages stored in 'GitHub', 'GitLab', 'Bitbucket', 'Bioconductor', or plain 'subversion' or 'git' repositories. This package provides the 'install_*' functions in 'devtools'. Indeed most of the code was copied over from 'devtools'.

Interface to 'Lp_solve' v. 5.5 to Solve Linear/Integer Programs

Lp_solve is freely available (under LGPL 2) software for solving linear, integer and mixed integer programs. In this implementation we supply a "wrapper" function in C and some R functions that solve general linear/integer problems, assignment problems, and transportation problems. This version calls lp_solve version 5.5.

Network Analysis and Visualization

Routines for simple graphs and network analysis. It can handle large graphs very well and provides functions for generating random and regular graphs, graph visualization, centrality methods and much more.

Cross-Platform 'zip' Compression

Cross-Platform 'zip' Compression Library. A replacement for the 'zip' function, that does not require any additional external tools on any platform.

Manipulate DESCRIPTION Files

Tools to read, write, create, and manipulate DESCRIPTION files. It is intended for packages that create or manipulate other packages.
