similar to: why a text editor?

dear all - I currently use Tinn-R as my text editor to work with code that I submit to R, with some output dumped to text files, some images dumped to pdf. (system: Windows 2K and XP, R 2.4.1 and R 2.5). We are using R for overnight runs to create large output data files for GIS, but then I need simple output reports for analysis results for each separate data set. Thus, I create many reports of

Tinn-R (http://www.sciviews.org/Tinn-R/) is one of the topmost suggestions when googling an R-(text-)editor for Windows. However, to me it appears dissappointing that Tinn-R does not handle utf-8 (mac-roman, or any other) encoded R-scripts or, in general, text files. Besides Emacs and the R built-in editor, could you recommend a good editor for Windows, even some commmercial for a small

Dear R-users When trying to import graphics from an pdf-file to a Vector graphics editor (I use Inkscape, but i've confirmed the same problem on adobe products), all points in the graphics turn out as "q"s. This example displays the beaviour: pdf(file="points are weird.pdf") plot(1:5) dev.off() When importing the file to inkscape, I get five neatly arranged little

Hi fellow R-users, Are there any text editors that recognize sweave (.rnw) files? I am running Windows Vista and in the past I used Tinn-R for R files but it (surprisingly) doesn't recognize rnw files and does not do any syntax highlighting for them. Thanks in advance, Greg __________________________________________________________________ Make your browsing faster, safer, and

Dear all, can somebody please update me on what could be the best editor to write and edit the RD files? I need to something with syntax highlighter, auto-completion etc (like Notepad++ for R etc.).

I have installed textpad and tried running R code. But it gives me the following error message. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Tool completed with exit code 1 Can you provide any help? I am not a technical person. So the help in detail will be appreciated. Thx [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Quick informal poll: what is everyone's favorite text editor for working with R? I'd like to hear from people who are using editors that have some level of direct R interface (e.g. Tinn-R, Komodo+SciViews). Thanks! --j -- Jonathan A.

Dear all, (Sorry if the question has already been answered.) Could someone please suggest a good text editor for writing R sources ? (I know emacs exists ... but I find it a bit heavy). I use crimson (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which is small and simple, but the R syntax seems not to be supported. Thanks for any advice

Hi, I have been dreaming about a complete R environment on my USB stick for a long time. Now I finally want to realize it but what I am missing is a good, portable editor for R which has tabs and syntax highlighting, can execute code, has bookmarks and a little project file management facility pretty much like Tinn-R has those. I like Tinn-R but it seems like there is only a very old version of

I was wondering whether somebody has developed a set of Textpad macro that work with R the same way as WinEdt does. I use Textpad for almost everything (programming, creating LaTex docs, etc.), it will be nice if I can use it as my R program editor. Or maybe someone can tell me how that kind of macro works so that I can develop my own macros. Thank you! Best, Shige Song Department of Sociology,

Do any of you know any simple programming editors for R scripts which offer basic colour-coding and bracket-matching facilities? Dregging through scripts to find a missing comma or parentheses is something I'd rather do less of... Jon Minton [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear group, I am trying to write functions, but as a beginner, everything is not so obvious. Let's say I want the results in a list of elemts like this : tot1, tot2, etc Here is a function: toto <- function(x,y) { for(i in x:y){ paste(c("tot",i),collapse="")<-(i*2) } } If I type this : >toto(1,5) I get this message error: Error in paste(c("tot",

Dear Rxperts/RStudio users, Is there a way to set tabs (the TAB key) in the text editor of RStudio, similar to the way customization can be done in Tinn-R? Thanks and regards, Santosh [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I know this question has been asked in the past, but I am wondering if anyone running R on Linux has any guidance as to a text editor that works well with R. At the present time I am running R on Windows and using TINN-R. For a number of reasons I want to switch to Linux, but can't find much in the way of a text editor in sync with R. Any experiences, recommendations would be

Dear users, My problem concerns save() within a for loop. Here is my code: for (i in 1:4) { temp <- data.frame(a=(i+1):(i+10), b=LETTERS[(i+1):(i+10)]) filename <- paste("file", i, sep="") assign(filename, temp) save(filename, file=paste(filename, ".rda", sep="")) } As you can see, save() doesn't work as I would like: (1) the object

Hi all, just wondered again, if there is some R editor for Mac OS X comparable to TINN-R on windows. thx in advance..

Hi, I have adviced my students to install R and an editor on a USB drive for working in the computer class. With R everything works fine following these instructions: http://personal.bgsu.edu/~mrizzo/Rmisc/usbR.htm. But several editors (e.g., Tinn-R and WinEdt) require administrator rights. I have found out that Emacs (Vincent Goulet's Emacs for Windows Modified

Using Tinn-R (in windows) is possible to run latex and R from the same editor, which was great. Now, I am using Ubuntu-linux, which has been better than WinXP. Currently, I am using Emacs (and then install ESS) for running LaTeX and R from a same editor-program (like i was doing with Tinn-R in windows). Nevertheless, and even though i have been using Emacs for almost 2 years, it is not as
