You can find this in the ‘Tools’ menu if you select the ‘Global Options…’ and then look at the ‘Code Editing’ panel. Set the column width marker to 80 columns. But before we get started lets configure a couple of things so that your code will be formatted the way that we prefer it for Bioconductor. Started because RStudio has already added tools to make packageĬreation easier for end users. Today a lot of people use RStudio, and this is a great place to get Other R users can also easily reproduce and build on your work. Words, these are packages that wrap some functionality up so that They are by far the most complex to create and maintain. Purposes of this document, we are focusing on software packages since Other packages are primarily for distributing software. Used primarily for holding annotations or examples of data sets while The Bioconductor project recognizes that there are many different Needed to make R code run as a Bioconductor package. Simplify the discussion by focusing on the bare minimum of what is So the final word on whatĬan be done with them can be found in this documentīut because that document is exhaustively detailed, it can be difficultįor a beginner to know what they need to get started with writing R Various questions about developing for Bioconductor.īioconductor packages are really just R packages. How to documents that can be explored to answer Introductory guide, there are other developer resources on theīioconductor website here. We also have other resources that can help developers with variousĪspects of package development. And it will also attempt to explain the mostįundamental aspects of package anatomy with the aim of helping your

The steps necessary to do this using tools available in the widelyĪvailable IDE RStudio.

The aim of this guide is to be a primer for new package authors whoĪspire to write packages for Bioconductor.
