# Packages for Use with Spotfire

TERR includes a set of packages specifically for working with Spotfire.

Package Name | Description
--- | ---
Spotfire | This package is deprecated. See SpotfireData.
SpotfireConnector | This package contains functions used between Spotfire and Spotfire Statistics Services. You would probably not call these functions directly.
SpotfireData | This package contains functions for managing datasets between Spotfire and TERR. (In particular, the functions are for reading and writing files in the Spotfire Binary Data format (SBDF).) Advanced users might consider importing their Spotfire data directly in the TERR engine for debugging purposes.
SpotfireSPK | This package contains two functions: `buildSPK` `buildServerSPK` Use this package to create an SPK to contain your R language packages that you want distributed to other Spotfire Analyst users or on Spotfire Server. (The packages in your SPK can be automatically distributed to Spotfire Analyst users who are working with data functions with local TERR engines.)
SpotfireStats | This package contains the helper functions used by Spotfire predictive analytics. You would probably not call these functions directly.
SpotfireUtils | This package contains utility functions for interfacing between Spotfire and the TERR engine.
