ympes provides a collection of lightweight helper functions (imps) both for interactive use and for inclusion within other packages. These include functions for visualising colour palettes, quoting user input, searching rows of a data frame and a set of minimal assertion functions.
You can install the released version of ympes from CRAN with:
