REXP has an asBytes() method. Will this capture the output of an R plot function if a proper graphics device is used? It appears R insists on sending plot output to a file. Kind of strange since it insists on loading all your data into memory before it can do anything. If so then does anyone know what this would be? I prefer png or jpeg. Example: c is an RConnection REXP r =

Hi folks, Maybe that is not the best place to ask, but I 'd like some of you could help me... I'm using jri to run R commands under Java, by its examples I can eval expressions, returning single values or vectors to my Java variables. But, I would like to know how to assign the values of a Java vector (like: double x[] = {1.7 , 2.8 , 3.4}; ) to a R variable, so I can eval a function

Dear list, I wish to use a specific driver to process an sweave document in the inst/doc directory of a package. Specifically, I would like to use either cacheSweave or pgfSweave to speed up the creation of the vignette which requires lengthy computations. The same request would also apply to the highlight driver, to provide syntax highlighting of R chunks. In "writing R extensions" I
