Hi, I am using R2.0.1 (under Windows) and using Tcl\Tk to produce a GUI for some R code. My main problem is that reading in the types of files and doing a lot of the calculations is quite time consuming. So I would like some way of showing that the computer is still busy - either a wait cursor, animated giff or somesuch, on a window which stays in focus.
I've tried using tkconfigure(tt,cursor="watch"), but it only appears at the end of the loading. For the calculations, ideally, I would like a window to appear and then as the calculations are finished the results appear on the same window in order and in correct place; but am unsure of how to "refresh" the window each time. I have looked at various Tcl and R:Tcl/Tk commands and am unsure how to achieve this, without (I hope) needing threads but any advice on how best to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
