This takes the approach of embedding R and creating a GUI using the GUI callbacks described in R-exts; this works in Linux and Mac, but not in Windows, because these callbacks are not supported by R on Windows. -Deepayan __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 10:53 PM, cls59 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Basically, I would like to start with just a plain vanilla R session running inside a Qt widget. Any suggestions? From the old User Manual [2] of SciViews-R [1]: All programs developed by the SciViews team are distributed under an Open Source license (GPL 2 or above), as R itself. Our goal is to contribute in providing a high-quality GUI for this statistical system that can be freely used by everyone. SciViews-R is also programmed in an expendable way, which means any programmer may implement additional features, or even a different suite of fully-compatible companion applications. This way, we hope to encourage intercompatibility between the various R GUI projects. We wish others implementations, possibly in Tcl/Tk, Gtk, Java, Aqua, … will develop. However, we anticipate great potentials of the wxPython (wxWidgets + Python) as a powerful platform-independent solution for these companion applications. R-wxPython (http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/folders/james/wxPython/) uses RSPython), but RPy (http://www.omegahat.org/RSPython/ (http://rpy.sourceforge.net/) is a possible, although unidirectional, alternative to write a Python/wxWidgets GUI for R. Rather than getting access to wxWidgets in R via Python, you might want to use the RwxWidgets package directly. (http://www.omegahat.org/RwxWidgets). As it stands, there is reasonably functionality already available in the package. I expect that it will be a complete set of bindings to all of the wxWidgets library within the next few months. The bindings will be generated programmatically and just waiting for me to finish up the more exotic parts of the code generation for C++ libraries in the RGCCTranslationUnit package. D. We warmly encourage any initiative in this direction and will support and help any volunteer that would like to write a platform-independent version of SciViews-R with these tools. Remember: your contributions are welcome! The Manual may prove an interesting read for those interested in R GUI creation. So could the manual [3] for the newer SciViews-K [4].

There is an RQt package (http://www.omegahat.org/RQt) which provides the framework for using Qt objects within R.

Re: [R] Creating GUIs for R
I have thought about wxWidgets, and I will definitely check that manual out. My interest in Qt stems from heavy use of GIS and Fortran in my field of study. As an Environmental Engineering student, I routinely solve simulation and optimization problems which take as their input spatially distributed data which is best managed using a GIS system. Most of the models are provided by government agencies such as the USGS or the EPA and are written in Fortran-77. R has the ability to interface with all of these systems and to format the results into nicely typeset reports- however the integration between all of this could be tighter. One of the best open-source GIS systems, Quantum GIS is written in Qt and provides great cross-platform map visualization as well as access to GRASS and an interesting plug-in system. I'm pondering the possibility of a QGIS plug-in which brings R (and by extension Sweave) into the picture and allows visualization, simulation, optimization, analysis and reporting of results all in one package.

Ricardo, I forgot to mention to you the web site: www.rpad.org. You can view that site to see how well Rpad will look using your configuration.

Received Fri 10 Oct 2008 5:21am +1100 from Greg Snow: I am not involved in the RExcel project. I have just had some discussions with the people that are, so you should contact them for specific questions. I believe that this currently only works on windows, there was some mention of possibly expanding it to OpenOffice so that it would be cross platform, but I have no idea if that has made it past the good idea stage. I saw it demo'd on OpenOffice calc at UseR! 2008 as I recall --- it looked good. It was not yet released. For quick GUIs specialised for specific tasks, I use the Glade tool to graphically build the GUI - very quick and easy. Glade saves the GUI specs into XML. The RGtk2 package in R can read that XML file and display the GUI. The callbacks (i.e., the functionality called upon when you click a GUI button) are simply R functions.

I believe that this currently only works on windows, there was some mention of possibly expanding it to OpenOffice so that it would be cross platform, but I have no idea if that has made it past the good idea stage. If we must away from Excel, don't you think that Gnumeric/R could be a nice option?

Basically, I am envisioning a screen with check boxes, a drop down menu etc. that users could select to run analyses on imported data. My guess is you'll get the best usability if you design a GUI specific for your task, rather than constraining yourself to the model of 1-1 mapping between R functions and dialogs. In that case, I highly recommend using gWidgets as your first shot at a GUI in R. I have worked with VB before, but it has been several years and I am not sure how it interfaces with R.

The R Gui Generator (http://rgg.r-forge.r-project.org/gettingstarted.html) might be sufficient to meet your needs. I have only just started looking at it myself, so I'm not speaking from experience, but it seems fairly straightforward to define Gui components in an XML file.

Re: [R] Creating GUIs for R
Wade, What type of GUI do you want? Do you want a full GUI that the user runs to do everything (that uses R as the computational engine)? Look at R commander, JGR, and the R plugin for Excel as possible examples. Are you more interested in a simple GUI for one specific plot or function to run from within R? Some examples include the tkexamp function in the TeachingDemos package (or many of the functions in that package for examples), the fgui package, the playwith package, the tkrplot package, and the details of the tcltk and RGtk2 packages. There are other packages that help with web interfaces (not GUIs, but still show using R as a back end). I don't know of any specific documents on how to write either type of gui, but the above can give examples to start from. Hope this helps, -- Gregory (Greg) L.

Re: [R] Creating GUIs for R
Seek and ye shall find ... Check the RGUI's link on the other web page on CRAN. If you are on Windows, there is some simple built-in GUI functionality. ?winMenuAdd, ?select.list and the links therein will get you started there.

Re: [R] Creating GUIs for R
I think prior posters addressed that or maybe what you really want is a command that accepts your function and automatically constructs a GUI front end for it. In that case see ggenericwidget in the gWidgets package and the fgui package. You don't need VB at all for this.
