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?

This probably should go to Duncan Murdoch ... The following reliably crashes R Version 1.9.1 on Win2000: winDialogString(paste(sample(letters,500,rep=TRUE), collapse=""),default="") (presumably because of the too lengthy message string; but what is the length limit?). -- Bert Gunter Non-Clinical Biostatistics Genentech MS: 240B Phone: 650-467-7374 "The business of

Hi. With the previous version of R, it was possible to execute the function 'select.list()' in BATCH mode. In this way, I could write my R code in a .R file and execute that with a double click on a .bat file, that contain the instruction tu run my R code in batch mode (R CMD BATCH myRcode.R). When I do that, a windows appear and I just have to select an item from the list. Now I've

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: I am brand new to R, though I've used S-Plus 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

Folks: Winnt; R1.7.0 (freshly installed) running under Rgui.exe.,MDI=yes. The following is repeatable: On startup, in my Rprofile.site file, I use winMenuAdd() etc. to install some user menus. However, they do not appear when R GUI window opens. If I minimize and restore the window, the added menus now are present. The exact same procedure under 1.6.2 with exactly the same Rprofile.site and

I would like to use the function winDialogString to get input from a user to a program but would like to eliminate the cancel button option and just have the OK button appear. The problem is that if a user enters data then accidently hits Cancel instead of OK, the program may either run incorrectly or quit due to the error of having NULL for a variable. I can think of some unsophisticated ways

I had this problem too. The documentation for the winMenus says that these functions are part of the utils package. R must be loading this library after it sources in Rprofile. If you add library(utils) to the beginning of your .First function, it should take care of the problem. Brian Gregor, P.E.

Dear list mates, Are {utils} dialog box functions, and winMenuAdd... functions used to change (e.g. Console) menus, platform dependent? I'm writing a script loaded with .First that provides first time users in a lab course with the ability to select, load, and change between what I called a 'session' (more specific save that focuses on the session object I defined rather than the

I'm using Rprofile file on R1.9.0 startup and inside I'm loading a personal Library which uses winMenuAdd() and I've got this error : Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "winMenuAdd" I hadn't this problem with others R versions. What Can I do now to avoid that? I'm using R1.9.0 under Win98. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have just upgraded from the 1.8.1 to the 1.9.0 version of R, and have some trouble to run RWinEdt from the .Rprofile file (in the user folder). The script is: library(MASS) library(lattice) cat("Load editor?(y/n default = y): ") nf <- as.character(readLines(n = 1)) if ((nf=="y")|(nf=="Y")|(nf=="")) {library(RWinEdt)} rm(nf) When run at start,

I am using the Windows menu functions below which will work on the first pass, but if I repeat the same script I cannot get the WinMenuAddItem to work. This is a problem if I change the menu structure and reread the source code I am forced to quit and restart Rgui. "try.menu" <- function(){ OS <- .Platform$OS.type GUI <- .Platform$GUI if (!(OS == "windows" &

I am relatively new to R, and am having a problem with the following snippet of code, and I do not at all understand why it is behaving this way. I am running Windows XP, with R 2.12.1.

Hi all, In the CHANGES file for R-2.3.0alpha, there is the following statement: winMenuAdd() now has no limits on the number of menus or items, and names are now limited to 500 (not 50) bytes. However, I can reproducibly get a segfault using this (admittedly silly) example: for( i in 1:5) winMenuAdd(paste("Test", letters[i], sep="")) for(i in 1:5) for(j in 1:24)
