Hi,
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who had replied to my earlier
question of using Xgobi with R under windows. After a little messing around
with the xgobi.bat file, I can now export data from R into Xgobi running on
the free MIX X server.
In summary here is the procedure to make Xgobi work under windows for R:
1) Download the Xgobi for windows executables from Brian Ripley's
S-Liberries
at
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/SWin/
I used the xgobi3-99.zip from 03-Mar-1999 09:55. Unzip it and place in any
directory of your choice.
2) Download R interface windows compiled library, xgobi.zip from CRAN or
mirror sites and installed it in your library directory under which ever
version of R you have running.
3) Modify the xgobi.bat file found in (2) to read something like this:
@echo off
PATH=c:\windows\;
set DISPLAY=your machine name: 0.0
set XGOBID=c:/Xgobi3
c:\Xgobi3\xgobi.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Thanks very much to Martin you suggested to use the pass argument. Although
it didn't work using
%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9, whihc was originally there did.
In my case my parent directory for Xgobi was Xgobi3.
4) From within R do the following.
> library(xgobi)
then you can use the function:
> xgobi(your matrix or data.frame)
That's ll you need to do.
Thanks again
Peter
