Dear all I've been looking for a solution to this problem ever since I started learning R, and I still haven't found one I'm comfortable with. And I would rather avoid exporting and importing into a spreadsheet just for this. I am looking for a data viewer/editor that could, among other things: - have a 'view' mode (not an 'edit only' mode, to avoid bugs or unintended modifications) - have a 'filter' view mode (not a data-modifying subset) - have a 'sort' view mode (not a data-modifying sort operation) - select multiple rows/cols - select multiple individual cells
Here's a list of what I've found sofar: - View()/Edit(): rudimentary interface; don't interact very well with tcltk (Rcmdr) on Linux - relimp::showData(): nice viewer, but too often too unstable; lacks most of the features above - tcltk2::tk2edit(): allows multiple row/col/cell selections; has no 'view' mode nor 'filter' or 'sort', and pops up scary errors whenever 'cancelling' changes - rdataviewer: the interface is too exotic for my habits, and lacks most of the features above - RGtk2Extras::dfedit(): allows multiple cell selections and can perform a 'sort' and displays several features in the c-menu; it is quite slow on my system with 'iris', no 'view' mode; since it uses RGtk2 it interacts very badly with tcltk (Rcmdr) - playwith: features a nice viewer hidden in Labels > Select from table, but it is awkwardly located, with no advanced features, and RGtk2 based - JGR/Deducer::data.viewer(): includes a nifty data editor, perhaps my favourite from this list, but it is a bit awkward to use when using an editor different than JGR (console monopolization); it also lacks a 'view' and 'filter' mode as well well as select multiple rows/cols; it can sort, but not easily when outside JGR Anything that I've missed?
