Dear R development people, We have developed a bi-directional link between the GIS package ArcView and XGobi. The link operates using RPC calls transparent to the user. We are interested in expanding the link to a stats package such as R, and would like to know if there is any interest in implementing inter-application protocols. We are interested in implementing a link where data could be passed from ArcView to both XGobi and R. Once the data is passed different views of the data could be displayed in both packages and linked to the map in ArcView for brushing. We also envision calculating various spatial statistics in R and passing them back to ArcView for display. We would also be interested in implementing better sturctures for display of spatial data in R. If there is interest please let us know.
