similar to: Rterm.exe, windows event loop running in multiple threads?

Hi Graham, Your guess is right. The event loop stuff is handled differently on Windows than on Unix-like OSes. There is a hook, called tcl_do that is hard-coded into the R Windows GUI. It is called whenever the console is idle. RGtk2 is able to hook into that to process GTK+ events. The problem is that the two packages replace each other's handler. So in this case tcltk is blocking GTK+ from

Hi, I'm running R v1.9.0 on WinXP Pro. I noticed that R.exe and Rterm.exe behave differently on Ctrl-C. Starting a Windows Command prompt (cmd.exe) you get from running Rterm.exe: C:\Program Files\R>rw1090\bin\Rterm.exe --vanilla --quiet > ^C > ^C > 1+1 [1] 2 > Sys.sleep(100) # Ctrl-C after a few seconds > ^C > ^C > 1+1 [1] 2 > q() C:\Program Files\R>

Colleagues, I have encountered the following situation in R (2.9.0) with Windows XP. I have an application that calls Rterm.exe. In certain situations, the application terminates but fails to close R. Then, the next time that the application runs, there are replicated copies of R running - this slows the system. One solution would be to kill any open versions of Rterm.exe each time

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

I've been trying to use Rterm.exe, mainly because of Rgui.exe's lack of support for incremental history searching. But on my system (Win XP, SP3), it (rterm from R-2.8.1) frequently just stops responding to keyboard input. This happens often (enough to make it unusable), and generally after a switch to another window. It doesn't seem to hang exactly, as if I leave it a while (minutes)

Hi r-hackers, What exactly is the difference in call r from a batch between this two ways: Rterm.exe ... Rcmd BATCH ... (I have to install perl first, I know) I haven't found any documentation about the difference (readme, FAQs, ...). I use rterm.exe, but is there a benefit in using rcmd? Can you explain me that or give me a link? Thanks Thomas Thomas Untern?hrer

I have downloaded rw0632 (Windows Version) from the CRAN at ETH Zuerich. Im working with NT4.0 Service Pack 4. I can start without any problems the GUI program Rgui.exe. But by using Rterm.exe (batch mode or with ESS respectivelly) I always get an error "the instruction at "0x10018ee8" referenced memory at ""......." Any ideas what is wrong? Best Regards Markus

Dear list, I?m using R embedded in another program (coded in tcl/tk) under Windows Vista. In this context I don?t launch Rgui.exe but rather Rtem.exe. Now I have a problem finding libraries not specifically installed as administrator (and which are not in the path ?program files? but in Contacts\Documents of the current user). To be precise, the user launching my tcl/tk program can?t find

Hello, I'm starting using R and runned a little script. The generated graphic could be exported correctly with RGui.exe ("file -> save as -> jpeg -> etc.") But if I try to run the same script with Rterm.exe and followed by: jpeg(file="test.jpeg", quality=90) The created jpeg file is completely white without any color, do you know why ? Sum up of the script:

Dear List, I would like to ask about package RGtk2 with which I have a problem. I will very much appreciate if somebody could tell me what I need to do. I need to install a package scdMicro and it depends on gWidgetsRGtk2. I am working on MAC, version 10.5.8. When I try to load gWidgetsRGtk2 (or RGtk2), it asks me: "Instal GTK+?" I installed Gtk+ from CRAN, and added a path: export

I am using ubuntu. When I tried install.packages("RGtk2") it downloaded and seemed to compile successfully: ** building package indices ... * DONE (RGtk2) The downloaded packages are in /tmp/Rtmp57id87/downloaded_packages However, when I tried library(RGtk2) I found Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library

Hi all, Is it possible to programmatically minimise the main window of the windows R gui? I'm designing a small gui with gwidgets & RGtk2 for an non-statistician to use, and it would be nice if I could easily hide all the R stuff that they don't need. Thanks, Hadley -- http://had.co.nz/

Hello, all I am trying to install RGTK2 on my Ubuntu 7.04 system. The installation fails with a message that RGtk2 requires GTK 2.8. As far as I can tell I have GTK+ 2.10.11 installed. Can anyone suggest a way to proceed? Thanks very much. Here is the failed installation: > install.packages("RGtk2") Warning in install.packages("RGtk2") : argument 'lib' is

Hi R-devel I use the packages RGtk2 and cairoDevice. The cairoDevice package has a few stand-alone functions, plus "asCairoDevice" which depends on RGtk2 and calls require(RGtk2). So cairoDevice lists RGtk2 under "Suggests" in the DESCRIPTION file. It can not Import RGtk2 because that would force all users to install RGtk2. The upshot of this is, if you *import* the RGtk2

I also have GTK 2.10.11 installed as well as GTK2-runtime 2.22.0. I have added the environment variable GTK_PATH and set its value to the root location where GTK is installed.
