Dear list, I do not understand how to get group variables from XGobi into R. For example, I start with data(laser) xgobi(laser) and in xgobi I brush some points red. Now xgobi creates a group variable (I did not understand *when* this group variable is created and how I get it even in xgobi, but, however, suddenly it was there...). What must I do if I want this group variable as a variable of R?

This is not very convenient, I agree, but the R <-> Xgobi connection is only via ascii files. Instead of putting considerable effort into the R-xgobi interface, the real thing will soon be ggobi, a gobi version based on GTK and hence available for Unix and Windows at least. --> http://www.ggobi.org/ if you dare to try the pre-release beta version Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch> http://stat.ethz.ch/~maechler/ Seminar fuer Statistik, ETH-Zentrum LEO D10 Leonhardstr. 27 ETH (Federal Inst.
