RPy has four different conversion modes. A mode can be
global or local to every Robj
object. When a global
mode is active, the output from every Robj
is converted
according to that mode (see Modes). (We'll use default as a
synonym of global.)
The local mode is an attribute of the Robj
objects, which can
be retrieved with the local_mode
method (see Methods of Robj type). When the global mode is not active, the local mode is looked
up to convert the output of a given Robj
object.
