title: Suppress a progress bar in R
body: <p>The HOF function in the eHOF package of R automatically generates a progress bar. There is no argument in the function to turn off the progress bar. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to suppress the generation of the progress bar outside of the function? (I am applying the function many hundreds of times, and the progress bars currently serve no purpose other than to flood my screen.)</p>
