R help - Oct 2008 - TINN-R's "R Explores" - Available for other editors?

Hello,

I am using TINN-R for working with R and for that purpose it is a very
handy editor, in particular the R-Explorer that shows the existing
objects and their properties is worth money.
But I want to move to a more flexible editor (in particular for Latex)
and was thinking of WinEdt (or maybe Eclipse, because of Java). I know
they have capabilities to work directly with R, but has any other
editor the same capabilities when it comes down to the R-Explorer?

Best,
Stefan

StatET (the Eclipse plug-in for R) has very good Sweave support:
- Sweave document templates
- content assist for creating new code chunks (with templates)
- the basic behaviour of the R-script editor
   inside code chunks (highlighting, submit to console etc.)
- possibility to define several document building configurations
   (and actions [buttons/keyboard shortcuts] that build the document
    and open it in a viewer in one go)

There currently is no object explorer yet in StatET. Something very
interesting, though, is the Outline View for R scripts which shows
in an outline what packages are loaded, what classes, methods and
functions defined etc. One could consider this to be a
"The-Source-is-Real"-equivalent of an object-browser...

Kind regards,
Tobias

You should definitely try Emacs with ESS package.

Hello,

The R explorer in Tinn-R is similar and derived from the one in SciViews 
R Console. However, SciViews R Console is not maintained any more, 
because our energy is spend in a cross-platform replacement project: 
SciViews-K. The R explorer in SciViews-K is not complete yet, and is in 
alpha stage, but you can have a look at it (and at the other nice 
features in preparation): http://www.sciviews.org/SciViews-K.

We plan to release the first version of SciViews-K around next 
September. Currently, we finalize the core code and have started a beta 
test program on the modules that are already finalized in two 
Universities. The priority is also on the documentation that is still 
lacking currently.
All the best,

Philippe Grosjean
