[ACCEPTED]-View the source of an R package-r-faq
Just enter the name of a function/method 1 without parentheses:
R> base::rev.default
function (x)
if (length(x)) x[length(x):1L] else x
<environment: namespace:base>
See also R-Help Desk - Accessing the Sources in R News Volume 6/4, October 2006.
How you find the source code depends on 6 the type of function. See my answer to this related 5 question.
As rcs pointed out, if you want 4 to specify a package, you can use ::.
> lattice::xyplot
function (x, data, ...)
UseMethod("xyplot")
<environment: namespace:lattice>
Not 3 all functions from a package will be exported 2 (i.e. made publically available); for these 1 you need to use :::.
> lattice::xyplot.formula
Error: 'xyplot.formula' is not an exported object from 'namespace:lattice'
> lattice:::xyplot.formula
function (x, data = NULL, allow.multiple = is.null(groups) ||
outer, outer = !is.null(groups), auto.key = FALSE, aspect = "fill",
panel = lattice.getOption("panel.xyplot"), prepanel = NULL,
scales = list(), strip = TRUE, groups = NULL, xlab, xlim,
ylab, ylim, drop.unused.levels = lattice.getOption("drop.unused.levels"),
..., lattice.options = NULL, default.scales = list(), subscripts = !is.null(groups),
subset = TRUE)
{
formula <- x
dots <- list(...)
# etc.
To find out which methods you want to see, write 1 methods(funcOfInterest)
Sometimes it does not suffice to print(funcOfInterest.class). Try print(getAnywhere(funcOfInterest.class)) then.
Download package source from https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib and open it 3 with your favorite editor. Find the function 2 definition (you can use grep for that). Sometimes 1 you can find a useful introduction as well.
