mise: Clear the Workspace (Mise en Place)

In papplegate/mise: Clears the Workspace (Mise en Place)

Description

Clears the workspace. Useful for the beginnings of R scripts, to avoid potential problems with accidentally using information from variables or functions from previous script evaluations, too many figure windows open at the same time, packages that you don't need any more, or a cluttered console.

Usage

mise(vars = TRUE, funs = TRUE, figs = TRUE, console = TRUE,
  pkgs = FALSE, where = parent.frame(1))

Arguments

vars	clear all variables in the parent environment?
funs	clear all functions in the parent environment?
figs	close all figure windows?
console	clear the console?
pkgs	clear all non-base packages? Defaults to FALSE.
where	which environment to delete variables and functions from; defaults to the calling environment
