This environment is used throughout the sampSurf package. Even though it is hidden, it is simply an environment to hold ‘global’ variables/parameters and functions in a central, but “out of the way” place. It is exported from the sampSurf namespace, so you can access any objects within it, though most of the contents will not be of interest to the majority of users. Also note that it has been locked for safety, so one can not add or change its contents.
