Coyote

In an effort to keep my entire R environment reproducible, I'm moving everything from my .rprofile (except API keys) into a new package. This package has several functions and settings that make my daily coding in R much easier and faster.

Install this package in R using with:

install_github("karthik/coyote")

Notable functions

• lsp() - Lists all functions inside a package. Quick way to see what's been exported in a NAMESPACE.

lsp(ggplot2)
[1] "%+%"                       "%+replace%"               
  [3] "aes"                       "aes_all"                  
  [5] "aes_auto"                  "aes_string"               
  [7] "annotate"                  "annotation_custom"        
  [9] "annotation_logticks"       "annotation_map"           
 [11] "annotation_raster"         "autoplot"                 
 [13] "benchplot"                 "borders"                  
 [15] "calc_element"              "continuous_scale"         
 [17] "coord"                     "coord_cartesian"          
 [19] "coord_equal"               "coord_fixed"       
 ... [truncated]

You can also use the pattern argument to narrow down a function you might be looking for.

> lsp(ggplot2, "scale")
 [1] "continuous_scale"          "discrete_scale"           
 [3] "scale_alpha"               "scale_alpha_continuous"   
 [5] "scale_alpha_discrete"      "scale_alpha_identity"     
 [7] "scale_alpha_manual"        "scale_area"               
 [9] "scale_color_brewer"        "scale_color_continuous"   
[11] "scale_color_discrete"      "scale_color_gradient"     
[13] "scale_color_gradient2"     "scale_color_gradientn"    
[15] "scale_color_grey"          "scale_color_hue"          
[17] "scale_color_identity"      "scale_color_manual"       
[19] "scale_colour_brewer"       "scale_colour_continuous"  
[21] "scale_colour_discrete"     "scale_colour_gradient"    
[23] "scale_colour_gradient2"    "scale_colour_gradientn"  
...[truncated]

Shortcuts

I'm lazy, ok? len is particularly useful and wish it were R's default call.

• len short for length
• h short for head
• n short for names
• s short for summary
• clear - to clear your console (works on terminal only, not R gui)

Default ggplot themes

I prefer a minimalist theme for my ggplots. The onLoad() function inside the package automatically loads ggplot2, and set this theme.

So a default plot that would normally look like this:

will now look like this:

Miscellanea

Package also loads (inside onLoad()) libraries that I use all the time like knitr, devtools, ggplot2.

Additional notes
All these functions are meant to help with development. I never use any of these in production (i.e. coyote will never show up on the Imports or Depends list for any of my packages). I also run everything with R --vanilla before shipping code to someone else.

If you have suggestions for more functionality, please free to post suggestions via issues or by sending a pull request.
