R help - Jul 2002 - Deriv and integrate

Dear R users,

I would like to express a function (with only one argument) as the integrate of
its derivate.
For example, for y=x^2, I would like something like

integrate(deriv(~x^2,"x", function(x) NULL, formal=T),0,2)

which would give me... 4.

Thank you,
Tristan

 integrate(function(x) attr(deriv(~x^2,"x", function(x) NULL,
formal=T)(x),
			    "gradient"),0,2)

will do it. The deriv() function is designed to produce derivatives for
optimisers, which is why it returns the function value with the derivative
as an attribute.

This does seem a strange thing to want to do...
