Re: [R] R reports

People have been generating reports with a computer for many years. R is supposed to be an analytical engine. Report writing is fundamental to any kind of analysis tool. SAS has had several report procedures/functions since the very beginning(1960's?). SAS stands for Statistical Analysis System. D

Re: [R] R reports

Sweave and LaTex is way to much overhead to deal with. There should be a built in standard report() function analogous to plot(). Something like the following is necessary if you want real people to take R seriously: report(data=, vars=, label=, by=, sum=vectorOfColumnNames>, title=, footer=, pa

That is not true. ?plot() gives me the appropriate help page. (R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) Mac OS X) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Latex-no-where-to-be-seen-tp2332139p2332577.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __

[R] Rserve (Anyone?)

REXP has an asBytes() method. Will this capture the output of an R plot function if a proper graphics device is used? It appears R insists on sending plot output to a file. Kind of strange since it insists on loading all your data into memory before it can do anything. If so then does anyone know

[R] Latex no where to be seen

I'm experimenting using R as a report writer. I'm told LaTex is the destination for my quest. But ?latex() gives me an error. The package manager does not have it. The package installer can't find it. Where is it? It amazes me that there's not a built in "report" function that can produce the sam

Re: [R] R reports

Oops, I meant 4GL. Part of SAS involves more or less "declarative" coding where SAS figures out how to process the information and you don't have to. Sweave and html generators in R are not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a function whose arguments are data, column names, grouping variables,

[R] R reports

I don't see much in the way of an ability to write reports in R the way you can with SAS. You basically have to write a program with R in a 3G way unlike SAS with it's 4G proc print and proc report. Are there similar R functions and packages? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n

[R] Does R always insist on sending plot output to a file?

I need to write the output of a R plot to a Java OutputStream. It looks like R insists on sending it's output to a file. Is there anyway to get bytes directly from the output of a plot so I can write it with Java? Writing it to a file is too slow. Is there a parameter in the graphics device funct
