we still do not have dynamic graphics in R natively. i just found out about a widget library called fltk info is at www.fltk.org it has all the stuff r currently can do only through tcl/tk or (as i do it) excel: sliders, knobs, spinners and so on. it is multiplatform, there are production versions for unixen and windows, and there is a beta for macs. this could be a way of getting some of luke's dynamic graphics tools into R more easily. perhaps this looks interesting enough that some r-core member will have a look at it. -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported Didactics Working Group Visit our SunSITE at http://sunsite.univie.ac.at Phone: +43-1-4277-38624 Fax: +43-1-4277-9386 -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Thomas has already shown how to do this with XLispStat with sockets; we also have 2 ways to do this using Java/Java3d, both through sockets as well as RJava. Of course, this relies on RJava being stable, which is a stretch of the imagination. Note that everything you ask for is in both settings (XLispStat as well as Java...). I'm only not sure about the Mac interfaces... best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini Rsrch. Asst.

The hard bit is to find a way to describe how to use this from an R interface. Things like the placement of widgets are in my experience much easier with visual tools. -- Brian D.
