rgrassdoc

Are you a user of rgrass7, the R interfacte to GRASS GIS? Do you find yourself looking at the online GRASS manuals all the time? rgrassdoc provide two simple functions, man and browse, which allow you to visualize the GRASS GIS manual page for any GRASS module, right in the RStudio Viewer pane (or to easily open the manual page in your browser). The goal is to fluidify your workflow when using rgrass7.

Installation

Install from CRAN as such:

install.packages("rgrassdoc")

You can also install the dev version from GitHub like so:

devtools::install_github("vlucet/rgrassdoc")

Example

The man function supports non standard evaluation for even less typing and faster access to the information:

library(rgrassdoc)

man(r.in.gdal)

man also supports partial matching:

man(r.gdal)

You can also open the page in your browser with browse. Your browser will then of course support links to other pages of the manual:

browse(v.overlay)

Using the RStudio viewer pane, this is what you can expect to see:
