Hello,
This message is little off-topic in R-help. Sorry for that, but not all
interested people are wired yet to r-sig-gui
(http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-gui). Thanks for your
comprehension.
A preview version of SciViews (a Graphical User Interface for R under
Windows, http://www.sciviews.org) was released a few weeks ago. Since then,
the Web site recorded several thousands of downloads. I would really
appreciate your feedback:
- What you like,
- What you don't like,
- Wich features you would like to get in the next release.
I got already some comments. I will post a summary in a while in r-sig-gui.
Best,
Philippe Grosjean
P.S.: we are working now mainly on features like a complete object explorer
and "libraries" (that is, graphical menus in the form of graph
galleries,
electronic reference cards, assistants,...).

PhGr> A preview version of SciViews PhGr> (a Graphical User Interface for R under Windows, ============ PhGr> http://www.sciviews.org) was released a few weeks ago. R for Windows already comes with a (simple) GUI. Many of the R developers would rather think mostly about GUI efforts that are platform INDEPENDENT, such as the standard Tcl/Tk package (try "library(tcltk)" and the demos from "demo(package "tcltk")" in R), and the RGtk (http://www.omegahat.org/RGtk/) one. For that reason, in the Bioconductor project (http://www.bioconductor.org), the "tkWidgets" package has been developed (built on top of R's standard "tcltk" package -- which from 1.7.0 on does not need extra efforts for installation on Windows). Excuse that this sounds a bit negative, but platform independence is one of the strengths of R.
