R help - Sep 2004 - Controling a tcl/tk slider

Hi,

Is there any command  in R that drags a tcl/tk slider to a 
particular position (value)?

  thanks in advance,

     Johan Van Horebeek

Dear Johan,

If I understand you correctly, you want to change the position of the slider
without directly moving the "thumb." If so, you can simply change the
value
of the variable associated with the slider; for example:

    top <- tktoplevel()
    Var <- tclVar("5")
    slider <- tkscale(top, from=1, to=10, showvalue=TRUE,
      variable=Var, resolution=1, orient="horizontal")
    tkgrid(slider)

    tclvalue(Var) <- "1"

I hope that this helps,
 John
