HI Everybody Does anyone know of documentation about different ways of obtaining user input in R. I have used readline() but I wondered is there are sophisticated packages that does things like validate answers or generate selection lists. bets regards Christaan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Hello Christian,
for an example of interacting with graphic output, just run
example(getGraphicsEvent)
However, on X11, that feature had ceased to work since a pre-release
of R-2.12 if Cairo support was enabled at compile time. The reason for
this defect had already been documented in R's bugs database for long.
Maybe getGraphicsEvent still runs on Windows.

Martyn Plummer's 'coda' package has some nice interactive menus. The package appears to be written entirely in R. You could start with the codamenu() function in the package source: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/coda/index.html -Matt On Fri, 2011-01-21 at 14:26 +0200, christiaan pauw wrote:> HI Everybody > > Does anyone know of documentation about different ways of obtaining user > input in R.

Christian Have you looked at the http://www.stats.gla.ac.uk/~adrian/rpanel/ rpanel package? I have a post which shows an example of interactive input that allows user to adjust plot parameters. http://chartsgraphs.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/rpanel-package-adds-interactive-capabilites-to-r/ link -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/User-input-in-R-program-tp3229515p3229738.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Probably, iplots may be useful for you: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/iplots/index.html Kinds, Mauricio -- ==============================Linux user #454569 -- Ubuntu user #17469 ============================== 2011/1/21 christiaan pauw <cjpauw at gmail.com>:> HI Everybody > > Does anyone know of documentation about different ways of obtaining user > input in R.

Like rpanel, there are many functions that make this kind of thing quite easy to implement.
