Maintained by Greta LinseCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Generates 'DiagrammeR' model diagrams for hierarchical linear mixed effects models. Details can be found in Linse (2026) doi:10.6339/26-JDS1222.

Changes in 0.2.1

Removed linebreak from "Description" field of the DESCRIPTION file.

_ Removed \dontrun from examples in documentation.

Added examples for the internal functions missing examples.
Tagged internal functions as such in the documentation using @keywords internal.
Added return values for md_color(), md_fill(), and md_fontColor().
Created a function to simulate the SSPD3 data in order to remove the code used to simulate the data from a \dontrun code block in the documentation for that data.
Added additional packages to the "Suggests" list: FielDHub and rsvg.
Ensured temporary paths are used in the example of writing to a PDF file.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("modeldiagramR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("glinse-stat/modeldiagramr")

Development version from glinse-stat/modeldiagramr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-modeldiagramr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-modeldiagramR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-modeldiagramR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
