Thanks Derek, This is certainly not for the 'non computational' like red-r, but here's a different approach to visual programming with R:
http://advogato.org/person/crhodes/diary/149.html A beautiful way of working with statistical data in interactive programming, instead of giving a name to a plot you work with the plot itself. That lisp programmers have been doing this sort of thing for many years is probably why they can at times appear a bit smug. alex On 1 November 2010 14:42, Derek M Jones <de...@knosof.co.uk> wrote: > All, > > I think readers of this list will be interested in the following > visual programming interface to R. > > > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Introducing Red-R: visual programming for R > Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 16:07:05 -0700 > From: Anup Parikh <anup.parikh-re5jqeeqqe8avxtiumw...@public.gmane.org> > To: r-packages-0bnbq1pawb4bxfe83j6...@public.gmane.org > Newsgroups: gmane.comp.lang.r.packages > > Dear R-Packages Mailing List, > > The Red-R development team would like to introduce Red-R: a user > friendly visual programming and data analysis framework for R. > > Red-R makes the advanced functionality of R available to the > non-computational users by hiding the computational complexity behind > a visual programming interface.
