我用mysql数据库做了很多工作，所以马上连接是天赐良机。我只希望有一种方法可以列出可用的数据库，这样我就不必记住所有不同的名称。

下面是将表导出到LaTeX的一小段代码。它将我编写的许多报告的所有列名更改为数学模式。我的. r配置文件的其余部分是相当标准的，上面已经介绍了大部分内容。

# Puts $dollar signs in front and behind all column names col_{sub} -> $col_{sub}$

amscols<-function(x){
    colnames(x) <- paste("$", colnames(x), "$", sep = "")
    x
}

sink(file = 'R.log', split=T)

options(scipen=5)

.ls.objects <- function (pos = 1, pattern, order.by = "Size", decreasing=TRUE, head =     TRUE, n = 10) {
  # based on postings by Petr Pikal and David Hinds to the r-help list in 2004
  # modified by: Dirk Eddelbuettel (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1358003/tricks-to-    manage-the-available-memory-in-an-r-session) 
  # I then gave it a few tweaks (show size as megabytes and use defaults that I like)
  # a data frame of the objects and their associated storage needs.
  napply <- function(names, fn) sapply(names, function(x)
          fn(get(x, pos = pos)))
  names <- ls(pos = pos, pattern = pattern)
  obj.class <- napply(names, function(x) as.character(class(x))[1])
  obj.mode <- napply(names, mode)
  obj.type <- ifelse(is.na(obj.class), obj.mode, obj.class)
  obj.size <- napply(names, object.size) / 10^6 # megabytes
  obj.dim <- t(napply(names, function(x)
            as.numeric(dim(x))[1:2]))
  vec <- is.na(obj.dim)[, 1] & (obj.type != "function")
  obj.dim[vec, 1] <- napply(names, length)[vec]
  out <- data.frame(obj.type, obj.size, obj.dim)
  names(out) <- c("Type", "Size", "Rows", "Columns")
  out <- out[order(out[[order.by]], decreasing=decreasing), ]
  if (head)
    out <- head(out, n)
  out
}

这是我的。它不会帮助你着色，但我从ESS和Emacs…

我经常需要调用一系列调试调用，取消注释它们可能非常乏味。在SO社区的帮助下，我找到了以下解决方案，并将其插入到我的. rprofile .site中。# BROWSER是为我的Eclipse任务设置的，这样我就可以在任务视图窗口中对浏览器调用有一个概述。

# turn debugging on or off
# place "browser(expr = isTRUE(getOption("debug"))) # BROWSER" in your function
# and turn debugging on or off by bugon() or bugoff()
bugon <- function() options("debug" = TRUE)
bugoff <- function() options("debug" = FALSE) #pun intended

我的大部分个人函数和加载的库都在rfunction中。r脚本

source("c:\\data\\rprojects\\functions\\Rfunctions.r")


.First <- function(){
   cat("\n Rrrr! The statistics program for Pirates !\n\n")

  }

  .Last <- function(){
   cat("\n Rrrr! Avast Ye, YO HO!\n\n")

  }
