S4Cartographer

This is the development version of S4Cartographer; to use it, please install the devel version of Bioconductor.

Visualize S4 class inheritance across R/Bioconductor packages


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

S4 Object-Oriented Programming is fundamental to the Bioconductor ecosystem, enabling modularity and code reuse across hundreds of packages. However, the multi-layered inheritance structures within and between packages can be difficult to navigate. S4Cartographer facilitates the exploration of these relationships by visualizing S4 class hierarchies as directed graphs. By representing classes as nodes and inheritance as edges, it provides a clear overview of complex dependency networks.
