Dear all: I am having trouble with automating R under win32. Is there a way to guarantee R server instance to remain 'alive' and also to pass complicated interactive commands? It works well as a simple calculator, but the overhead of creating an instance of R for each minor calculation is too heavy. Also, when using interactive features, R server does not seem to respond, esp for ggobi. BTW, I surveyed a while ago how much interest there was in using vtk for 3d visualization for R. It is not so difficult, but it seems that ggobi serves the purpose in most cases, and with even less effort. Thanks in advance for any help/comment. /js -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help 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 !)
