Dear all, In many cases, I need a plotting region much bigger than the screen (e.g. for maps or for graphs with many labels). A. MS-Windows if I try windows(width=25, height=25, rescale="fixed") it seems to be OK (a screen with scrollbars, exactly what I need) but if I try then plot(faithful$eruptions, faithful$waiting) I receive Error in plot.new() : Outer margins too large

Dear all, when I try to install gtkDevice on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (R v. 1.7.1), I get the following comfiguration error (see below). Has anyone else had this problem? Any hints are greatly appreciated.

It is complaining about: * Installing *source* package 'gtkDevice' ... checking for gtk-config... no checking for gtk12-config... no ERROR: Cannot find gtk-config.

Hello all, I've put together a quick and dirty menubar + dialogs + spreadsheet GUI for R using the RGtk package. Performance is not great (OOP is a real memory hog?), the design may be worse, but the hope is that it will be useful in an introductory stats course while we await the arrival of a real gui with ObveRsive and SciViews. The package can be found at

Dear r helpers, In my exploration of the tcltk facilities of R I've had some success but some failures, and wonder if someone could point me to a solution.

HI R users, I would appreciate information/examples/suggestions on building GUIs for R applications. I am currently working on a project that would require the following functionalities : 1) Display a window to the user. Provide a function to scan local drive and choose dataset file. 2) Display the column names for the user to choose the dependent variable and the independent variables. 3) Fit

Hi UseRs, I recently started working with the RGtk2 library. The documentation is comprehensive and I've tried learning from the examples in most Gtk tutorials (which have C code). This is a little problematic, but has helped quite a bit in getting me started. I would like to create a GUI for file selection, which then displays the column names from the selected file, and provides the user

Hello! When I draw points on grid's viewport with clip set to TRUE clipping does not have effect on some symbols. It happens only when drawing over gtkDevice (GTK ver. 1.2) (with postscript device clipping works OK - take a look at this screenshot http://www.hppi.troitsk.ru/Kondrin/clipbug.png) and only with symbols that are drawn with commands other than gdk_draw_polygon() (i.e. circles

Hi Duncan, I've been looking around at GUI toolkits to use with Python (and by extension R). I initially tried Tk, but was disappointed because there is no consistent set of high level widgets. I've subsequently done some looking at QT, wxWindows, and GTK. QT is out because I am a *commercial* user, and I don't want to have a license hassle. GTK seemed to have a lower level of

For those who are interested, I've finished release of 0.4 of pmg and have placed it on my website at http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/Statistics/R/pmg. The pmg package provides some GUI elements using the RGtk package and friends: RGtk, OOP, RGtkExtra, RGtkHTML, RGdkPixbuf, RGtkViewers and REventLoop from www.omegahat.org and gtkDevice from CRAN. (These require a form of UNIX such as linux, OS

Dear All, I am running Debian testing on my system for the amd64 architecture, When trying to install the RGtk package I get this error > install.packages('RGtk2') Installing package(s) into ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library?

Dirk Eddelbuettel and Albrecht Gephardt have created many Debian packages of R packages from CRAN and other archives. I wanted to install all these Debian packages on a machine running the Debian testing distribution. One way to do this is to search (using the apt-cache program) for all Debian package names that begin with 'r-', extract the package name, and concatenate all those names

I am trying to use some ms access databases in R (version 1.9.1 or 2.0 on a Debian system). In searching the net for promising software to do this, I found mdbtools. Mdbtools claims the ability to convert schemas and tables in MS Access to MySQL and other databases. http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/ I'm wondering if anyone in the R community has tried using this software to use

Hallo, I'd like to write a GUI (first choice with GTK+). I've surfed through the R- an Omegahat-Pages, because I'd like to use RGTK2, GTK 2.10.11 in combination with glade on Windows XP (perhaps later Unix, Mac). I've found a lot of different information. Because of the information I'm not sure, if this combination is running on Windows XP and I'm unsure how it works. Is

Hello, This message is little off-topic in R-help. Sorry for that, but not all interested people are wired yet to r-sig-gui (http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-gui). Thanks for your comprehension. A preview version of SciViews (a Graphical User Interface for R under Windows, http://www.sciviews.org) was released a few weeks ago. Since then, the Web site recorded several

Dear John, I have a question. When I run a RGtk code in my terminal (without using the R GUI) R --vanilla << "EOF" source("myRGtkcode.R") EOF the GTK objects do not remain on the screen. Until now, I "bypass" this problem using the following commands: require(tcltk) tkmessageBox("Press to exit") But it is not really satisfactory and the tcltk

Greetings all: Newcomer to R as I work on learning it to transfer my college classroom stats training to something more useful and accurate then that spreadsheet from Redmond which shall remain nameless. I'm running v2.6.2 on a Win XP Home system that I keep up to date with all the called for patches. Haven't added much to the basic install other than the bits and bobs needed to run

Good morning folks: Made a second go at installing this and succeeded, but with some strange behaviours along the way. First the system back story. Using up to date edition Ubuntu 8.04 Using up to date edition of R 2.10.1 Using the Toronto, Ontario repository to draw from. After the first attempt ended up with two of the four dependencies installed so only the Rgtk related items would be
