Get/Print Objects From or Put Objects Into Temporary Work Environment
Get/print objects from or put objects into a temporary work environment
called .PBSmodEnv
. These objects include .PBSmod
,
which controls the GUI system.
tget(x, penv=NULL, tenv=.PBSmodEnv) tcall(x, penv=NULL, tenv=.PBSmodEnv) tprint(x, penv=NULL, tenv=.PBSmodEnv) tput(x, penv=NULL, tenv=.PBSmodEnv)
x |
name (with or without quotes) of an object to retrieve or store in the temporary environment. |
penv |
parent environment, defaults to |
tenv |
temporary working environment, defaults to |
These accessor functions were developed as a response to the CRAN repository policy statement: “Packages should not modify the global environment (user's workspace).”
There are also wrapper functions called .win.tget
,
.win.tcall
, and .win.tprint
that can be used in
window description files to launch functions or print objects
from the .PBSmodEnv
workspace.
The wrapper uses getWinAct
to get the function (or object)
name that a user specifies in the action
argument of a
widget command.
Objects are retrieved from or sent to the temporary working
environment to/from the place where the function(s) are called.
Additionally, tcall
invisibly returns the object without
transferring, which is useful when the object is a function that the
user may wish to call, for example, tcall(myfunc)()
.
Additional wrapper functions to access functions in .PBSmodEnv
are named with the prefix .win
.
