Hi All, I don't know if such a thing exists, but I am looking for a way to better keep track of where data is going, how it is being modified, and what functions are acting upon it when I give the data over to a function that calls many subfunctions (as happens in my current package I am working on), or in an R script I am using to do multiple processing steps on data. Currently I find it difficult to keep straight sometimes what a function has done to my data, or what output from another function is required now as input to my current internal function as I navigate through my software (or when I make changes six months later, and multiple objects are coming in).
>From what I can tell, I want to generate sequence diagrams of my program (http://www.agilemodeling.com/artifacts/sequenceDiagram.htm). Is there any way to generate these kinds of things automatically in R, or to get the information easily from R? I know I could add code to each function to spit out that it has been called with what input, but I thought there might be a way to do it by calling the function within some kind of wrapper function that would tell me what other functions are being called. I have tried searching for such a beast, but if it exists I cannot seem to come up with the right search terms to find it. Thanks in advance, -Robert Robert M.
