How to open the source code of a function in R studio?

[polina]

Hello,
I am trying to open a function in R studio to see how it works. For example, in Matlab if I want to see the code of the regression I will use the command open regress and the function is open.

This gives me the opportunity to see the code behind the function. Is this possible in Rstudio?

You can use View
Example: View(lm)

[martin.R]

Or just type the name of the function without View to see the output in the console.

It doesn't work. Actually, I want to open the file sgt.
I installed the package sgt and then I run the command that you said to me but it doesn't work. Do you know the reason?

[rafaelmenmell]

View does not open files but shows you the code of the function.
For example for the function dsgt from sgt package:

library(sgt)
View(dsgt)

A shortcut in R Studio is to put the cursor on the function name and press F2. It's a nice feature when digging through nested functions.

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
