[R] can Rgui.exe be launched with a script as an argument?
Ultimately, I would like to launch R (from another application) with a script as an argument that creates a plot. I am running on Windows XP with R 2.4.0. I currently can do this with S-Plus from my application by giving this command: C:\Program Files\Insightful\splus62\cmd\splus.exe S_PROJ=C:\myproject C:\myproject\myscript.ssc I would like to be able to port my scripts to R and use R to keep costs low for academics, etc. The closest that I have been able to come to doing this in R is to create a .First function: .First - function() source(test.R) The test.R file contains the following lines: a-c(1,2,3,4) b-c(1,4,9,16) plot(a,b) The error on launching rgui.exe with a batch file (C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.0\bin\Rgui.exe -quiet) is: Error in eval.with.vis(expr, envir, enclos) : could not find function plot (any other high level function also does not work) Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I assume this is windoze. Have you considered using the Rterm? You can have in your script the plot to be created as an eps file Lanre Bill Bachman wrote: Ultimately, I would like to launch R (from another application) with a script as an argument that creates a plot.

2006/11/8, Lanre Okusanya [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I assume this is windoze. Have you considered using the Rterm? You can windows... afaic try with R.exe or, as said and imho better, Rterm.exe. Examples testR.bat: set cmd=C:\Programme\R\R-2.3.1\Bin\R.exe call %cmd% CMD BATCH --slave --vanilla --args sayHello.R rout.txt testT.bat: set cmd=C:\Programme\R\R-2.3.1\Bin\Rterm.exe call %cmd% --vanilla sayHello.R rtermout.txt sayHello.R: cat( hello chappi\n ) q() -- Regards, Hans-Peter __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.

Thank you to Paul Murrell for a solution: # test.R require(graphics) a-c(1,2,3,4) b-c(1,4,9,16) plot(a,b) -Original Message- From: Lanre Okusanya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 1:04 PM To: Bill Bachman Cc: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [R] can Rgui.exe be launched with a script as an argument?
