pkgicon

This is a local alternative to [pkgdown::build_favicons()].

It is also expected to work on more cases and avoid strange issues where some logo elements were dropped from the online converter used by pkgdown.

Installation

You can install the development version of pkgicon from GitHub with:

# install.packages("pak")
# pak::pak("Bisaloo/pkgicon")
install.packages("pkgicon", repos = c('https://bisaloo.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))

Example

To generate your package favicons, please the source logo (ideally saved as an .svg) under one of the locations recognized by pkgdown and r-universe:

• ./logo.svg (. is the root of your R package, where the DESCRIPTION file is located)
• ./man/figures/logo.svg
• ./logo.png
• ./man.figures/logo.png

And then run:

pkgicon::build_pkgdown_favicons(
  pkg = "." # change this to the path of the root of your pkg
)
