Hi all, After being a long time off the R and R-SIG-GUI lists, because I was working hard on SciViews, I am happy to deliver the first public version of this program. It is still v. 0.1, that is, an incomplete alpha version. It currently installs only on Windows 2000 or XP (NOT on Windows 9X/ME/Millenium, nor any other platform!). You can download it at http://www.sciviews.org. Please, note that

Hi I agree with your comments and of course you identifie the problems regarding the implementation of your suggestions. Of course we'd need bidireccional communication to implement it. I think it's impossible to do it statically. What I want with NEdit is a very ligth editor (which jedit is not) that highlights the most important language syntax, so that It becomes easier to write

Hi, I was able to connect to a MySQL database (called "zooscan" and with a table "serie" under Win XP with R 1.6.2 using: > library(DBI) > library(RMySQL) Warning message: DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f > drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") > con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname="zooscan") > dbExistsTable(con,

Hi, For those who are interested, I have update my R benchmark (to version 1.5.0) and also to Splus 6. They are available at: http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm. A comparison is made between Matlab (5.3 & 6), R 1.5.0, Splus 6 rel 2, O-Matrix 5.1, Octave 2.1.31, Scilab 2.6, Rlab 2.1 and OX 3.00 under Windows 2000 pro. Overall, R is not the fastest package, but it is one of the

Hi all, I want maximum control of R, including calculation / buffer output interruption. With Rgui, pressing ESC interrupt both calculation and buffer output. However, with Rterm, ctrl-c works only in calculation, but does not interrupt buffer output: with: i <- 1 while (i > 0) i <- i + 1 which runs an infinite loop, pressing ctrl-c interrupt it. OK. But: rnorm(1000000) is not

We would like to announce the existence of a Special Interest Group in GUI development for R (R-SIG-GUI). This mailing list discusses issues concerning the development of graphical user interfaces for R, especially platform independent ones. It is a complementary tool to the R GUI web pages (http://www.r-project.org/GUI) that exist since July 2002. Best Regards, Philippe Grosjean

Hello, I am updating my benchmark (http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm) to recent versions of data analysis software (including R 1.6.0 and Splus 6.1), and I now run it on a Pentium IV instead of the old Celeron 500 Mhz that candidates for retirement. I test R under Windows Xp pro with and without optimized BLAS. I use the optimized Rblas.dll for P4 found on CRAN. Here are the results.

Hello, Following a discussion initiated on r-devel, that mentions SciViews-R and other GUIs issues for R, I would like to make comments (and would be happy if these comments would initiate interesting initiatives). A big, big problem with SciViews-R is that a part of it is written in Visual Basic 6, a M$$$$ language, not supported any more, buggy, non transposable to other platforms, etc,

Hi, I have recently installed version 2.4.1 of R and also installed SciViews-R 0.8.9. It worked fine. Then I installed the Rcmdr 1.2-7 from CRAN . However the 'R commander menu' in the dockable panel does not work. If I start Rcmdr in R without SciViews, it works perfectly. Is there any way that I can use Rcmdr with SciViews? Many thanks in advanve. Kihwang

Hello, Thanks to Douglas Bates, there is now a new benchmark suite (version 2.3) which is compatible with R 1.9.0 and the recent Matrix library (0.8-1 or above). You find it at http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm. It compares R 1.9.0 under Windows with: S-PLUS 6.5, Matlab 6.0, O-Matrix 5.6, Octave 2.1.42, Scilab 2.7 and Ox 3.30. In short, R in its version 1.9.0 and with the new Matrix

Hello, An alpha version (unstable, still in development) of SciViews-R can be downloaded from http://www.sciviews.org/SciViews-R. See also screenshots at http://www.sciviews.org/software/rconsole.htm. The SciViews R package provides functions to implement GUI features (object explorer, script with context-sensitive help and completion lists, ...) and to ease the communication with external

Well.. plans are there from a long time to rewrite SciViews completely and make it platform independent (to work on Linux/Unix and MacOS X, as well as Windows). I have done some work in this direction when time permitted, but I am pretty busy with other work. During the holidays, I will continue to work in this direction. I will try to package a first running version of SciViews compatible with

Hi, In rw-FAQ, there is a paragraph about optimizing R by using a fast ATLAS library in place of the standard BLAS. It says: "BLAS support is supplied by the single DLL `R_HOME\bin\Rblas.dll', and you can add a fast BLAS just by replacing that." Do I need to recompile the whole R with the option `USE_ATLAS = YES', or is it possible to compile only Rblas.dll on each separate
