Hello; Well, I'm afraid this is the second related problem I report in two days (I'm sorry for this) I've programmed a tcltk interface for a model and it includes a comboBox. The comboBox widget comes with the "BWidgets" library of Tcl/Tk. It works all perfectly with the windows R GUI (with the help of Prof. B. Ripley), following the advices in ?Startup, but I would like

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! The IWigdets::combobox has an option "selectioncommand" to specify a procedure which is called when an item in the combobox is selected. Does ComboBox from Bwidgets have an equal option or is there a simple method to do thi? I haven't found one but i would like to use Bwidgets instead of Iwidgets. Another question which should not be a problem, but at the moment I just

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 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 have a problem with using Iwidgets in R while i'm able to use BWiget and Tktable. If I let tcl list the names of packages, Iwidgets seems available. I use R 2.6.0; in addition addTclPath("C:/Tcl/lib") has been used (in which iwidets is present) > try(tcl("package", "names")) <Tcl> http opt tcltest ::Utility::expand Widget ::Utility::number

Hi all, I just installed R on my Mac OS X machine and wanted to installed tcl/tk. So, I installed tcl/tk from this page: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/ It gets placed in /usr/local dir. and then I installed R. Next, in R, I set the TCL_LIBRARY variable by saying Sys.setenv(TCL_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/tcl8.5") and Sys.setenv(TK_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/tk8.5") But

Hello, I'm trying to install oneChannelGui on my computer. For this purpose, I've tried to carefully follow the manual, and done the following: 1. I've installed the Affy power tools 2. I've installed TCL from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl/ (by following the link at the right side of the page, and installing activeTCL8.5.0.0) Nonetheless, when I try running

Hi, I'm developing an R/TclTk application which uses the BWidget and Tktable Tk extensions and I'm trying to make it easy to install. For now, I'm focusing on Windows users who start with nothing. I have built Tcl/Tk and Tktable for windows using Msys/MinGW. (BWidget contains only Tcl scripts so does not need building.) I have then copied Tktable and BWidget into the lib subdirectory

Dear R Helpers, Does anyone know how to use tcltk to display jpeg images? The manual says that one must use Tk_PhotoCreateImageFormat to register the jpeg image handler. The "ActiveTcl User Guide" (http://support.serv.ch/lang/tcl/img/doc/img-jpeg.html) says:- "The package img::jpeg is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require

Hi, I've been trying to install R on Red Hat Linux 9 for some potential users of my R/TclTk application. I tried using the rpm for R 1.7.1 for Red Hat Linux 9. It told me that I needed: libtcl8.3.so so I looked for a binary release of Tcl 8.3.x on http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.3.html but found that the link to the Tcl 8.3.x binaries pointed to ActiveTcl 8.4.x . I couldn't see

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... ...

Hello, I took me very long to find out how to set the initial value in the combobox widget in tk (see the example below). My question is now : Why does "textvariable" has to be a tclVar while "values" can be a normal vector? My next question is: How could I have known this much earlier? Is there a documentation for the tcl/tk usage in R? I know a lot of website with example.

I have been trying to use the package affylmGUI but keep getting the error message that it cannot find the package "Bwidget".

Dear R-Community, I need the Img tk extension for my R package. It all works on my Ubuntu machine (libtk-img). However I experience a great deal of trouble when I try to install the package on OSX 10.5 or 10.6 (in fact I'm not able to do it). As I understand it, the ActiveTcl with it's teacup package manager do not have an effect on the the x11 tcl installation which R accesses. MacPorts

I am trying to write a function that will solve a simple system of nonlinear equations for the parameters that describe the beta distribution (a,b) given the mean and variance. mean = a/(a+b) variance = (a*b)/(((a+b)^2) * (a+b+1)) Any help as to where to start would be welcome. -- Scott Story Graduate Student MSU Ecology Department 319 Lewis Hall Bozeman, Mt 59717 406.994.2670 sstory at

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)
