similar to: initial value in ComboBox tkwidget

Hello, I'm very much a newbie in R and more so in tcltk so apologies if this question is stupid. Basically I am trying to use the combobox example found here: http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/~wettenhall/RTclTkExamples/DropDown.html . What I want to do is in that example get fruitChoice as a variable in R in general. When I run that code, however, and the ask for fruitChoice it says

Hello everyone, this is my first post here and I hope I signed up correctly and someone will take me by the hand and help me out. I am new to R and cannot figure out what to do here... ... I want to have an User Interface that requests input. I want to save this input to a variable to use it later on. I was able to do this with a modalDiaglog (

Hi everybody, I am trying to write a simple progress display based on a tcltk toplevel. My first approach was to use the progressBar widget from the BWidget library but since this is not available on every system (missing on at least almost all windows systems, I guess...) I wanted to have a backup there. So my second strategy was to use a simple toplevel with a label and update the tclvariable

Hello, I am sorry if this is an answered question, but I did my homework for a long while and couldn't figure out a way to retrieve data entry from a model dialog. In one of the examples compiled by James Wettenhall: odalDialog <- function(title, question, entryInit, entryWidth = 20, returnValOnCancel = "ID_CANCEL") { dlg <- tktoplevel() tkwm.deiconify(dlg)

Dear all, I'm trying to use tcltk to build a small user-interface and couter the problem: It seems that sometimes the dialog box will be minimized automatically though I want it to be on top of the screen all the time. For example, when runing the following code, if you type in "a1", "a2", "a3", etc when being asked for an integer, the program is supposed to

DeaR list, I am writing a user friendly script for an interactive use of R. The user is supposed to click on a bat-File in Windows-environment and to enter some values in a pop-up window. Let us assume we have the script given below. If she sources this script within R, everything works smoothly. The pop-up window jumps and patiently waits her to enter the value. For this to work she has to start

Dear r-devel list members, I've experienced the following problem in getting a selection from a Tk list box using tcltk. This is a long-standing problem, but I've finally decided to tackle it. Consider the following: Library(tcltk) top <- tktoplevel() listbox <- tklistbox(top, height="10", width="2", exportselection="FALSE",

Dear list, I have multiple (BWidget) listboxes in the same toplevel window. The problem is, if I select (by left clicking) on one of those listbox elements, the current selection in the *other* listboxes is cleared! Anybody knows how I can prevent this? Here's my code (sorry not complete): (E.g. If I select an X value, I'd lose the Y value I selected before) gui.create.tab.general <-

Dear list, Could somebody who is more experienced with the Tcl/Tk interface from R please help me clarify the issues I've put below with ### --> tags? Several things go wrong, and it's probably because of messy code, but I have a difficult time finding out what is the cause. Thanks very much, JeeBee. require(tcltk) || stop("Package tcltk is not available.") # Add path to

Hi, All: I am having a problem with handling global variable value in GUI programming, I hope R gurus can give me some advice on it. What I want to do is to read in a dataset, display some information based on the input and do some calculation on the dataset: However, I am having trouble organizing my code, as the following code goes, the comboBox section will have to be put in the

HI, (1) ...thanks for the last comments to tcltk & Win2000. (2) - i'm newbie in tcl/tk but would like learn fast and develop (learning by doing) a tcl/tk clusterAnalysis application which combine some clusterMethods from different Rpackages. i use the tkttest.R example as "reference" and become not finished for my "first" step???? (3) how is it possible that the code

I searched the web and the list archives for a solution to this, but didn't see anything, so here goes. I'm new to tcltk. I'm trying to change the contents of a tkentry widget when a button is pressed. Once I get that working, the widget will be read only to the user. Here is some toy code: ############### require(tcltk) thisEnv=environment() tt<-tktoplevel() Name <-

if I wanted to set the value of a combobox tt <- tktoplevel() box <- tkwidget(tt,"ComboBox",values=c(1,2,3)) tkgrid(box) tcl(box,"setvalue","first") does anybody know how I would access an index other than the first? as second, and numbers do not work.. thanks in advance Andreas Posch

Hello, everyone. I have the following problem with TclTk: I create some windows and want to change their position with geometry manage (sometimes they will be centered, sometimes not). If the toplevel is created and its dimensions are gathered via 'tkwinfo', I get (usually) correct values. However, if this window is created by a function (in the following example, by 'ask.format')

Hello all, I'm experimenting with tlk/tk and I find it very useful. I would like to have the text of a tkentry be automatically filled when the user starts typing, according to a predetermined list. I've found a solution on the tcl wiki pages, but I don't quite know how to translate it in R... Here is the tcl code: http://wiki.tcl.tk/13267 And here is my code that does not work.

Hello, I have a problem with a tklistbox. The user should be able to choose one out of two calculation methods needed for further calculations. My r-script for that purpose looks like that: require(tcltk) tt<-tktoplevel() tl<-tklistbox(tt,height=4,selectmode="single",background="white") tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="select method for LAI

Dear R-users, I would like to build N "tkentry" compounds in the same window, with default text for each. As N is variable I need to construct them in an iterative way : library(tcltk) main<-tktoplevel() tktitle(main)<-"My Tool" filenames<-c("toto","tata","titi") N<-length(filenames) for (i in 1: N) {

Dear experts, I am trying to understand why is it that when I paste (into the R console) the following code to select an option from a list: require(tcltk) tt<-tktoplevel() tl<-tklistbox(tt,height=ntx,selectmode="single",background="white") tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="Select the legend of" )) tkgrid(tl) treatments<<-levels.tx for(i in

hello, i would like program userfriendly tcl/tk widgets like the t-test example in a more complex way ! (1) Is it not possible to combine tk_getOpenFile with the R function read.table to select in userfriendly way data sets ? (I'm newbie and take code-parts from t-test example and scripting example.) (2) Is it possible to use a variableSelection widget to select a special variable which i

Thanks Peter, I've started a new R session (in Windows) and managed to get both ways working now : ### THIS WORKS !!! ### library(tcltk) tclRequire("IWidgets") tt<-tktoplevel() combo <- tkwidget(tt,"iwidgets::combobox") tkpack(combo) ### AND THIS WORKS TOO !!! ### tt<-tktoplevel() win <- .Tk.subwin(tt)
