a short introduction to the workings of {targets}

You are going to learn how to use the {targets} package.
You'll do this by running, and optionally, amending, some functions.
These functions have already been created for you as a starting point.

/img - folder contains 5 images of a character from the TV sitcom Friends.
You probably can't guess who it is. Resist the urge to look at them, or you risk removing what little comedic value exists.

/R - contains one file with a few R functions which

• read in the images
• adds captions
• creates a new combined image
• saves it to disk

vowels.csv - a simple text file list the vowels in the English alphabet

_targets.R - creates the links between the functions and the inputs and outputs

run.R - uses targets to create a list of functions and inputs, in the correct order. It also creates a plot of these dependencies, and will create the final image. When run successfully, it will also create a folder named _targets, which will contain information to track the current status of the project
