Notes

Misc tricks

• docker X11 sharing

docker run  -ti --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro r-base

• devtools::install_version

• devtools::use_readme_rmd (with git commit hooks)

• How to specify a custom action for the knit button: add knit: (function(inputFile, encoding) ...) to the top-level YAML header; e.g. to control output directory:

rmarkdown::render(inputFile, 
                  encoding = encoding, 
                  output_file = paste0(dirname(inputFile),
                                       basename(inputFile), 
                                       ".pdf"))
