Hi, We have a few R scripts, that have a minimalistic GUI Interface using winDialog() calls. Is there any cross-plattform equivalent we can port to, such that the code will run on both Windows and Unix ? I thought about either tcltk or gtk Stuff. I was astonished that I couldn't find anything similar that had been implemented since the 0.99 release, or do I miss something obvius ? Yours,

Hi all, I'm using winDialog and winDialogString in scripts running on a XP-machine. Since we're using some Linux-machines (Suse 10.0 and 10.1 on x86) I'm interested in equivalents of the above functions usable under Linux-OS. Are there any?

Dear R-devel list members: I have two internationalization questions, related to questions that I posed previously. These pertain to Windows (I've tried under Win XP but assume the issue is more general) and R 2.1.1 patched and 2.2.0 devel. (1) I've noticed that the standard Windows dialogs in R -- whether initiated from the Rgui menus, from winDialog(), or from tcltk functions such as

All: The select.list() command brings up a "modal dialog box with a (scrollable) list of items ..." etc. -- i.e., a GUI control. I also know about winDialog, file.choose and the winMenu commands. What other such GUIisms are built into ** base ** R (I know about the tcltk package)? Or, better yet, how can I search on or list them? Many thanks. Bert Gunter Biometrics Research RY 84-16

Hello, the admonition of Prof. Ripley to search the documentation to solve my problem helped, today I read a lot more on Tcl/Tk than before ;-) But now I'm stuck again. With the help of my script some functions are plotted on the display, then I ask if the user wants to save it as pdf. In windows I use winDialog and it works. But I can't succeed in Linux. In short:

...for some time. I've developed some specialized plotting functions that I want to distribute and would like to provide users with a dialogbox for entering input arguments. Has anyone developed functions in R for displaying dialogboxes that could accept multiple inputs? I found winDialog and winDialogString, but these only accept and return a single value. Does anyone know how these might be extended for more flexibility? Thanks -- Jack Lewis Redwood Sciences Laboratory 707-825-2929 voice Pacific Southwest Research Station 707-825-2901 fax...

I noticed the See Also section of the help page for winDialog refers to a "package windlgs in the package source distribution..." but I can't seem to find any documentation on this. Does anyone know if it exists or where to find out more about it? Any information would be helpful, thanks. -------------------------------------------- Till E.

Hello all, to interrupt a BATCH program I inserted, as adviced in this list, a windows dialogue box (winDialog("ok")). The graphic display opens on the right part of the screen, which is OK. The Windows dialoge opens in the center of the screen and hides a part of the graphics window. Is it possible to determine the coordinates where the Windows dialogue box opens? I'd like to

Hi, I was looking for a Windows-specific R function to focus the console window and couldn't find one. The motivation is that after loading the tcltk package, the "main" Tk window "." is presumably focused but then immediately withdrawn (hidden) so the RConsole loses its focus and you have to click on it to continue typing. Would there be any interest in including a

How can I solve my problem? winDialog and winDialogString work correctly! Many thanks! Fabio _________________________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I thought I would post code to send an email out of R. The code uses Grothendieck and Bellosta's interface package rJython for executing Python from R. The code itself provides basic email functionality for email servers requiring authentication. It should be easy to extend it (e.g., for sending attachments). I hope it's useful. require(rJython) rJython <- rJython()

Hello, I''ve a question: I invoke R from a text editor in a Win2000 operating system using Rcmd.exe BATCH inFile outFile I''ve two problems: a) If I use windows() as graphics device, all windows close immediately after script execution, how can I let them not to die? b) Is it possible to redirect the content of outFile to the console output? Many thanks. Paolo

I would like to use R as the graphical interface for a fortran program I am writing. Presently my fortran code produces a set of data files then sends an "rterm ..... <filename.r >out.out" line to my windows system. This causes rterm to read in the data files, draw plots on my screen in milliseconds .... and then terminate and disappear, plots and all, forever. It's this last

Hi, I need some help figuring out how to make a pop-up message box appear with error messages when running a script using Rterm. Windows XP R2.10.1 ...possibly with the ability to either continue or abort the script? Thanks. M -- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list members, I'm experiencing a variety of intermittent problems with GUI-related commands (e.g., for dialog boxes and graphics-device windows) in R for Windows running under XEmacs/ESS. I'm using version 1.6.1 of R, version 21.4.9 of XEmacs, version 1.02 of ESS, and various versions of Windows, including 2000, 95, and 98SE. The problems don't occur in every circumstance,

...y, and then install the whole thing on their machine. For my very simple efforts, the only thing that I have found missing in these Windows widgets is the equivalent of the Bioconductor argsWidget() ( in the tkWidgets package) for interactively entering arguments. This CAN be done one at time with winDialogString(), but doing it as argsWidget() does is much nicer. Of course, that's what I currently use for this purpose, but it would be better to have the native Windows equivalent in utils along with the others. Obviously, not a big deal, but it would be a nice little addition if someone wanted to...

...reyed out if the corresponding files are not installed. Many of the menu items now call internal functions and so are much faster, but produce nothing on the console. Help files will be displayed in the internal pager with headings in a contrasting colour. There are new functions winDialog() and winDialogString() to produce dialog boxes, and functions winMenu* (use ?winMenus) to manipulate user menus. Following Unix, the handling of help(, offline=TRUE) has been altered. It will be necessary to adjust helpPRINT.bat to set the TEXINPUTS path to find Rd.sty.

I have started using R 1.5.0 on Windows 2000. The refinement of this system in such a short time is astounding, and I thank those who have worked on it and made it available! I have been using rterm.exe to develop R scripts in my preferred editor (not emacs) by sending the command rterm.exe --save < %f where the editor substitutes the filename for %f. This works wonderfully, and the
