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.

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... ... I want to have an User Interface that requests input. I want to save this input to a variable to use it later on. I was able to do this with a modalDiaglog (

Hello, everyone. I have the following problem with TclTk: I create some windows and want to change their position with geometry manage (sometimes they will be centered, sometimes not). If the toplevel is created and its dimensions are gathered via 'tkwinfo', I get (usually) correct values. However, if this window is created by a function (in the following example, by 'ask.format')

Dear R-devel list members, I've encountered a problem with my Rcmdr package under Windows XP and could use some advice: The Rcmdr package uses the tcltk package to create menus and dialog boxes. My standard procedure when a dialog is created is to grab the focus -- e.g., by tkfocus(top) tkgrab(top) (Here, top is a top-level window -- say, containing one or more scrollbars.)

Hello, I have a problem with a tklistbox. The user should be able to choose one out of two calculation methods needed for further calculations. My r-script for that purpose looks like that: require(tcltk) tt<-tktoplevel() tl<-tklistbox(tt,height=4,selectmode="single",background="white") tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="select method for LAI

Dear experts, I am trying to understand why is it that when I paste (into the R console) the following code to select an option from a list: require(tcltk) tt<-tktoplevel() tl<-tklistbox(tt,height=ntx,selectmode="single",background="white") tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="Select the legend of" )) tkgrid(tl) treatments<<-levels.tx for(i in

Dear list members, I've been puzzling over how best to clean up the code for my Rcmdr package. In particular, there's a lot of repetitive tcltk code in the package, and as Martin M?chler has pointed out to me, this makes the package difficult to maintain. If R were Lisp, I'd use macros for much of the clean up. My efforts to do similar things with R functions has run into problems

Dear all, I'm trying to use tcltk to build a small user-interface and couter the problem: It seems that sometimes the dialog box will be minimized automatically though I want it to be on top of the screen all the time. For example, when runing the following code, if you type in "a1", "a2", "a3", etc when being asked for an integer, the program is supposed to

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 <-

Hello, I am sorry if this is an answered question, but I did my homework for a long while and couldn't figure out a way to retrieve data entry from a model dialog. In one of the examples compiled by James Wettenhall: odalDialog <- function(title, question, entryInit, entryWidth = 20, returnValOnCancel = "ID_CANCEL") { dlg <- tktoplevel() tkwm.deiconify(dlg)

DeaR list, I am writing a user friendly script for an interactive use of R. The user is supposed to click on a bat-File in Windows-environment and to enter some values in a pop-up window. Let us assume we have the script given below. If she sources this script within R, everything works smoothly. The pop-up window jumps and patiently waits her to enter the value. For this to work she has to start

Hello companions!!! I have a function that creates a Radio Buttons, and I need that this function return the selected value in the Radio Buttons. I would like that, if somebody know as I could return the value, you say me as do it. Next, I show the function function1<-function(){ require(tcltk) tt <- tktoplevel() rb1 <- tkradiobutton(tt) rb2 <- tkradiobutton(tt) rbValue <-

Hello, I use package "tcltk" to do some GUI programming, and want to find a function which can do the operation "click a button", just like using a mouse to click. If tkevent.generate can do that? I tried it as below, but failed. Please give me a hint! tt <- tktoplevel() tkwm.title(tt,"Simple Dialog") onOK <- function(){print("OK")} onCancel <-

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

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

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

Hi - I'm creating a package of database tools. A function in the package requires the username and password as input to the function in order to initially connect to the target database(s). Of course, this poses a significant security issue given the possible retention of the function statement in cleartext. I did not readily encounter a package meant to mask input from the user nor do I

I'm trying to read a binary file created by a fortran code using readBin and readChar. Everything reads fine (integers and strings) except for double precision numbers, they are read as huge or very small number (1E-250,...). I tried various endianness, swap, But nothing has worked so far. I also tried on R 64 bit for linux and windows (R 2.14) and R 2.11 on windows XP 32 bit. Any help would

I don't know if this is a bug. I can reproduce the following on Ubuntu 12.04.2 and 13.04 64-bit with R version 3.0.1 and with r63479. There is no difference if R is patched with the fix for PR#15407 or not, although without the fix there are more ways to trigger this. I can reproduce with the following: 1. Open R in gnome-terminal or xterm 2. Run 'library(tcltk)' 3. Run

Dear r-devel list members, I've experienced the following problem in getting a selection from a Tk list box using tcltk. This is a long-standing problem, but I've finally decided to tackle it. Consider the following: Library(tcltk) top <- tktoplevel() listbox <- tklistbox(top, height="10", width="2", exportselection="FALSE",
