Hi all, I am new to using R on a Linux machine & I have a few questions on set-up. If anyone has experience in this area any advice would be greatly appreciated. - When I open R I have the option to do the following: o 'Run in Terminal' o 'Display' o 'Cancel' o 'Run' - My only option to open a window such as we find in the Windows version is to choose 'Run in Terminal'. - I really want to run a script where I can run sections of the code each time. - As we know in Windows we have the option to 'Open New Script' & from here can choose 'Run line or Selection' - In this version I can indeed save a script & open with 'Emacs', 'KWrite' OR 'Kate'. - But the only way I can run this script is to call the whole script using the source() function. - Does anyone know how I can implement a script that I can run as in the Windows version, whereby I can run one line at a time if I wish for testing purposes? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

You can run lines, regions, paragraphs etc. in an R instance within emacs itself. See the ess website for further details: http://ess.r-project.org I don't know about the other K* applications...

What a long and complicating mail for the simple question: is there a gui on Linux? However besides Emacs/ESS there is rkward which is probably easier to use for a closer to Windows gui feeling (it is much better of course). Since you have not given specifics about your Linux: on Fedora as well as on Ubuntu(s) it is in the standard repositories. hth Stefan PS There is also JGR as a cross-platform Java Gui. However on Fedora it is unusable since it consumes far to much CPU.
Emacs speaks statistics ( http://ess.r-project.org/ ) is a very good
choice for you. It allows single line, selected lines or running of an
entire script from within emacs.

[R] Running Scripting on Linux
04/23/2009 09:31 Machine
AM CET
Hi all,
I am new to using R on a Linux machine & I have a few questions on
set-up. If anyone has experience in this area any advice would be
greatly appreciated.
- When I open R I have the option to do the following:
o 'Run in Terminal'
o 'Display'
o 'Cancel'
o 'Run'
- My only option to open a window such as we find in the
Windows version is to choose 'Run in Terminal'.
- I really want to run a script where I can run sections of the
code each time.
- As we know in Windows we have the option to 'Open New Script'
& from here can choose 'Run line or Selection'
- In this version I can indeed save a script & open with
'Emacs', 'KWrite' OR 'Kate'.
- But the only way I can run this script is to call the whole
script using the source() function.
- Does anyone know how I can implement a script that I can run
as in the Windows version, whereby I can run one line at a time if I
wish for testing purposes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
