Dependency heatmap

In the following dependency heatmap, rows are the parent packages of descr and columns are the dependency packages that each parent package brings in. On the right side of the heatmap, there are three barplot annotations: 1. number of imported functions/S4 methods/S4 classes from parent packages; 2. number of dependency packages from each parent package; 3. heaviness of each parent package on descr.

Adjust heatmap size:
Base packages Imports stats utils 0 5 10 Imported methods 0 1 2 Required packages 0 0.5 1 Heaviness from parents utils grDevices graphics stats xtable In total 5 packages are required directly or indirectly (5) when installing 'descr' (1.1.5) Imports Base packages that are required Contributed packages that are required Packages that are required for installing 'descr' Imported functions


Dependency table

"Import" information is from the NAMESPACE file of descr.

imports: number of imported functions/objects; importMethods: number of imported S4 methods; importClasses: number of imported S4 classes.

Required packages: number of strong dependency packages for each of the parent package (or in other words, number of dependency packages the parent package brings in).

Heaviness from parent on descr: number of required packages that can be reduced if moving parent package to Suggests of descr.
