List and Build Package Vignettes

Description

Run Sweave and texi2dvi on all vignettes of a package.

Usage

buildVignettes(package, dir, lib.loc = NULL, quiet = TRUE, clean = TRUE)

pkgVignettes(package, dir, lib.loc = NULL)

Arguments

package

a character string naming an installed package. If given, Sweave files are searched in subdirectory ‘doc’.

dir

a character string specifying the path to a package's root source directory. This subdirectory ‘vignettes’ (or if it does not exist ‘inst/doc’) is searched for Sweave files.

lib.loc

a character vector of directory names of R libraries, or NULL. The default value of NULL corresponds to all libraries currently known. The specified library trees are used to search for package.

quiet

logical. Run Sweave and texi2pdf in quiet mode.

clean

Remove all files generated by the build, even if there were copies there before.

Details

buildVignettes is used by R CMD build and R CMD check to (re-)build vignette PDFs on the Sweave sources.

Value

buildVignettes is called for its side effect of creating the PDF versions of all vignettes.

pkgVignettes returns an object of class "pkgVignettes" if a vignette directory is found, otherwise NULL.
