Dependency heatmap

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

Adjust heatmap size:
Base packages Other packages Depends Suggests methods bitops 0 0.5 1 Imported methods 0 1 2 Required packages 0 1 2 Heaviness from parents methods utils bitops RCurl In total 2 packages are required directly or indirectly (4) when installing 'XML' (3.99-0.9) Depends Suggests Base packages that are required Contributed packages that are required Packages that are required for installing 'XML' Imported functions The whole namespace is imported


Dependency table

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

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

Parent package Field imports importMethods importClasses Required packages Heaviness from parent on XML
methods Depends The whole set of functions/methods/classes from parent package is imported to the namespace of XML. 0 1
utils Depends 1 0 0 0 1
RCurl Suggests No object is imported into the namespace of XML. 2 2
bitops Suggests No object is imported into the namespace of XML. 0 1
