similar to: R GUI's on a Mac?

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,

It turns out that the behavior of starting just Tcl was actually a bug. Apparently the intention was to attempt to start Tk regardless of the DISPLAY variable, because some TclTk implementation such as Aqua Tcl/Tk don't require DISPLAY and thus would not be loaded. Due to a bug (HAVE_AQUA was not included in Rconfig.h before R 2.7.0), though, this was not the case. I'll leave it

Hello, Up to R 2.6.2, I used to start Tcl *without Tk* (I need only Tcl for some part of my work, like a socket server written in Tcl only, for instance) with this code under Mac OS X (particularly on this system, because I don't want to start X11 just to use Tcl code, which is required for Tk!): > Sys.unsetenv("DISPLAY") > library(tcltk) I got then the message

Awhile back there was a lengthy discussion regarding R GUI's for teaching, etc. I was wondering if anyone has set up the web page which was to be dedicated to this issue. Philippe Grosjean had the idea of creating a R-GUI projects page. Also, is anyone using a "R-GUI" (for windows) for teaching basic statistics to students doing applied science degrees? Something based perhaps

Dear R-devel: Would R core team consider endorsing a graphical toolkit and trying to facilitate development of little GUI tools? I need a gui matrix editor for users that want to be able to write matrices that are later used to simulate data. Instead of teaching them to write a covariance matrix (for example, for mvtnorm), I want to tell them run a function that pops up a table they can fill

Hello, I'm very new in working with tcl/tk in R and have a problem which will probably sound silly to most of you. Here is the code I have problems with: readcelfiles <- function() { require(tcltk) tt <- tktoplevel() tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="Choose a directory!")) OnOK <- function() { fileDir<-tclvalue(tkchooseDirectory()) data.raw <-

Hi, I've been playing with the tcltk package. It's very nice to have access to buttons, menus etc. now. Thank you! Alas, I also have questions: In Tcl everything is a string [*]. This is not the case in R, of course. So why are return values of tk commands still strings? (Is there any other reason than speed or "package is work in progress"?) Example: > tt <-

Hi, I'm using a Mac, I've downloaded R (base), and I'm trying to download the package R Commander. I thought I had already done this (both from the web and from within R) but it doesn't seem to be working - it's not there as a "search()" reveals. However, there are plenty of files on my system linked with Rcmdr - located in

hi, just having the idea create a simple tcl/tk gui-dialog for different data-file formats i get starting problems and it would be nice get some tips/tricks from experienced tcl/tk user in R ! tt <- tktoplevel() label.widget <- tklabel(tt,text="Decision Tree GUI") button.widget <- tkbutton(tt,text="Select SPSSFile", command=function()

Greetings: I wish to use a tcl/tk widget to ask for user-selected parameter values. My widget works ? it asks for and returns to my workspace the stuff I need. Here is a snippet of my code: ############################### OnOK <- function() { LOG.X <<- as.logical(as.character(tclvalue(log.X.buttonValue))) LOG.Y <<- as.logical(as.character(tclvalue(log.Y.buttonValue)))

Sorry, for my mail from last night contains no subject. Therefore, I send it again and two tcltk questions are appended. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prasad wrote: > I wrote a function in R which uses tcltk package .... essentially I wanted > to give within that function, a widget with 2 radiobuttons to choose > between plotting Precip

Hello, I have another problem: Failed to fetch http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/gutsy/r-cran-lattice_0.17-15-1gutsy0_i386.deb Size mismatch (I tried several times) Best, Philippe ..............................................<?}))><........ ) ) ) ) ) ( ( ( ( ( Prof. Philippe Grosjean ) ) ) ) ) ( ( ( ( ( Numerical Ecology of Aquatic Systems ) ) ) ) )

John, The Windows installation instructions document has the following. So, one obvious question is whether you did select it. (I haven't installed on WIndows for ages, so I don't know whether this was changed recently or even whether the selection is on or off by default). -pd Using package tcltk =================== The package tcltk supports building graphical interfaces with Tcl/Tk.

Actually I am trying to run sciview-R and encounted some problems with tk, and I thought I'll check the basic library(tcltk) functionallity, just to be sure. Anybody seen that '[tcl] bad window path name ".1".' message before? Prof. Philippe Grosjean: yes, I have managed to load most of sciview-R under Wine, except the tcltk library! =================== R : Copyright 2005,

Dear all, please excuse the somewhat special question: >From within R I create a Tk windows with a list of checkboxes, which can bekome too long for the screen. The obvious solution would be to put all checkboxes into a frame and make that scrollable. Alas, there are (for whatever reason!) no scrollable frames in Tk :-( The usual workaround is to put widgets (my checkboxes) into a textbox,

Dear R People: This is more of an opinion question please: When putting together GUI type functions, is it better to use JAVA or Tcl/Tk, please? Any input is appreciated!

Dear list members, Is it possible via a suitable tcltk command to get the *current* width, in characters, of a Tk text widget that has been resized with the mouse? In the following code, the reported width of the text widget doesn't change, even though it has been resized. I can, however, get the current width in pixels: > library(tcltk) > top <- tktoplevel() > textWindow <-

I'm working on a matrix editor using the Tk table widget, and it is almost done. It slices, dices, etc., and it can paste into Excel from an R session running on Linux. What I don't know how to do is paste from Excel into a Tk table, and Google is not helping me. Can anyone lend me a clue? Jeff

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

'tkcoords' is defined twice (in the same way) in src/library/tcltk/R/Tk.R. Attached is a patch against r63780 that removes the duplicate definition and alphabetizes the functions. I've read that minor patches such as this should be sent to r-devel [1]. Scott [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/33987 -- Scott Kostyshak Economics PhD Candidate Princeton
