R devel - Jan 2003 - Announce: pmg -- menu driven GUI using RGtk

Hello all,

I've put together a quick and dirty menubar + dialogs + spreadsheet
GUI for R using the RGtk package. Performance is not great (OOP is a
real memory hog?), the design may be worse, but the hope is that it
will be useful in an introductory stats course while we await the
arrival of a real gui with ObveRsive and SciViews.

The package can be found at 

http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/Statistics/R/pmg/

Feedback welcome.

This build and runs fine in the Darwin/X11 version for Mac OS X. It  
does require some
hacking of RGtk. Basically, you need to build RGtk both as the bundle  
RGtk.so
and as the static archive libRGtk.a This is necessary to be able to  
build
RGtkExtras and RGtkGlade and so on. Binaries will be in the next  
archive on
gifi.

I have Debian packages of all the required pieces available at

  http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/R/ 	   [ note the trailing /R ]

which allows anyone running Debian testing or unstable to take a peek John's
most interesting code, play with and cleanly uninstall it if need be.

The files are 

    r-cran-pmg_0.1-1_i386.deb
    r-omegahat-oop_0.4.2.R-1_i386.deb
    r-omegahat-rgdkpixbuf_0.1-1_i386.deb
    r-omegahat-rgtk_0.6.0-1_i386.deb
    r-omegahat-rgtkextra_0.1-1_i386.deb

and of these, only r-omegahat-rgtk has thus far been part of the Debian
distributions.  I'd welcome feedback from Debian users to see if there is
interest in having Duncan's other modules be part of the Debian
distribution.
