R help - Dec 2010 - How to print colorful R output??

Hi All,

I wonder if there is a way to print the R output with COLOR?
Not the color plots, but the outputs in the console.

Thank.

Yes (depending on what you mean by "output"), but maybe there is a
long way to go. The vignette of the Rd2roxygen package is an example:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rd2roxygen/vignettes/Rd2roxygen.pdf

It makes use of the highlight package and Sweave to output colored
code. If the style of the above vignette is what you want, more
details are here:

I once asked for this on the list [1], and the are two points:
- although technically feasible, say using ncurses, there are
currently no facilities for automated formatting of input/output
- go for editors that do this automatically, say Emacs or JGR
