Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Testers wanted: Ryacas has a new module

David, installs for me and the demo works using r70368 and OS X 10.11.4, most recent Xcode used to compile all the pieces. I wouldn’t be a regular user but if there is another test you would like, send details. Bryan > On Apr 12, 2016, at 9:03 PM, David Winsemius

[R-SIG-Mac] Testers wanted: Ryacas has a new module

The Ryacas package was formerly a client-side interface to YACAS (Yet Another Computer Algebra System). I couldn't get either version 1.0.63 or version 1.4.2 to accept Ryacas' client messages on the R 2.3.4/OSX10.11.3 platform, despite being able to run YACAS as a standalone package. I

[R-SIG-Mac] R freezes when calling rgl after update to El Capitan in Mac

Hi everyone, I updated my Mac to El capital and when I try to call the library rgl, R studio just stops working. It won't even respond to force quit. I have read in the blog several similar problems from Jose G that David Murdoch helped solving. I have tried them (for example deleting

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

Ivan, Perhaps you are not aware of the ability to open scripts in a new window within the RStudio IDE. Look up the RStudio IDE tutorial on the subject at (https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/207126217-Using-Source-Windows). However, there is no way to have multiple copies of the same

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

Ivan, Some of the functionality of R Markdown documents can be found in the R GUI when you work in a script document rather than the console and make use of functions. For instance, the ability to expand or collapse parts of the document (functions can be expanded or collapsed), have code run

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

Thanks a lot John. I had tried, but only with the whole Editor window, not trying to extract single tabs from the Editor window...! Ok, I think I'll switch to RStudio then, but still, the Mac R Editor is great ;) Ivan -- Ivan Calandra, PhD University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne GEGENAA - EA

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

Sorry, I thought it would be clear based on the previous emails... I don't know much yet about chunks and other functionalities of knitr and rmarkdown, so I might be missing some points, but three interesting aspects about chunks that I have already notices is that it is possible to give them

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

Hi Ivan, Can you be more explicit about what it means to you to "enable chunks" or "properly use chunks"? Then developers will understand what you’re looking for. cheers, Mollie Mollie Brooks, PhD Postdoctoral Researcher, Population Ecology Research Group Department of

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

Thank you Mollie and all, So it looks like there's no way to properly use chunks within the Mac R GUI. I will have to decide whether I completely switch to RStudio, or develop in the R GUI and then run in RStudio. Still, until now I was a great fan of the R GUI on Mac so I'm a bit

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

The failure to find pdflatex may have to do with how R GUI tries to discover the system path (or pdflatex is actually not on your system). A while back, Ian Gow suggested adding the location of the pdflatex binary to the path to fix this issue. The top of that thread is here:

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

Hi Ivan, Using the R GUI and the built-in editor, you should be able to format your document in the standard Rmarkdown or knitr way and save it with the appropriate extension (Rmd or Rnw), but only run lines within chunks in the console (using command + enter in the normal way). You can make

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

Thank you for your answer. I don't usually use the Terminal, so I'm not sure how to do it. But do you mean to start it from the Terminal and then use the R GUI or do everything in the Terminal? In the latter case, I would prefer using RStudio... My question was about using the R GUI Editor

[R-SIG-Mac] R code chunks

Dear Mac useRs, A colleague of mine have introduced me to rmarkdown and knitr to produce nice reports. The other interesting thing here is to have so-called chunks of code, which I find very practical to organize scripts. I have found that it works well within RStudio. But is there a way to

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Right to left languages support in R on mac

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, I cannot read any right-to-left languages besides the bug I mentioned. But I work in a multilingual environment (newsroom in 10 languages) with arabic journalists but no arabic programmer. I will try find reaching out for R programmers fluent in these
