Dependency heatmap

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

Adjust heatmap size:
Base packages Depends Suggests utils parallel 0 0.5 1 Imported methods 0 0.5 1 Required packages 0 1 2 Heaviness from parents snow Rmpi In total 2 packages are required directly or indirectly (4) when installing 'snowfall' (1.84-6.1) Depends Suggests Base packages that are required Contributed packages that are required Packages that are required for installing 'snowfall' Package is listed in 'Imports' but namespace is not imported

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

Parent package Field imports importMethods importClasses Required packages Heaviness from parent on snowfall
