Dependency heatmap

In the following dependency heatmap, rows are the parent packages of gdata 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 gdata.

Adjust heatmap size:
Base packages Imports Suggests methods utils stats graphics 0 2 4 6 8 Imported methods 0 1 2 3 Required packages 0 1 2 Heaviness from parents stats methods utils gtools RUnit In total 4 packages are required directly or indirectly (6) when installing 'gdata' (2.18.0.1) Imports Suggests Base packages that are required Contributed packages that are required Packages that are required for installing 'gdata' Imported functions


Dependency table

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

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 gdata: number of required packages that can be reduced if moving parent package to Suggests of gdata.
