Hi Wojciech,
nice work. I am happy to see the "About"-Dialog.
Now, I still have some issues / proposals. I don't think they will be solved
until 3 o'clock (it would be great), but rather should be kept on the radar.
A. STRINGS
It is currently not possible to read strings from the spreadsheet (or am I
making something wrong?).
IF indeed strings are not imported (because of coding issues), BUT only
numerical values, then I have the following proposal:
1. simple input: {#cell_range} as currently implemented
2. strings: {s#cell_range} or {string#cell_range}
or {(s)#cell_range), whatever fits the code best
3. factors: {factor#cell_range} => read as 'as.factor(...)'
4. data frame:
{frame#cell_range} => read as 'data.frame(...}'
- that is: use the strings stored in the column-header
as the variable names (R takes usually care of invalid names)
- this is especially useful to read large data-sets
B. I still have some issues with the PLOT command, i.e it crashes RServe.
Though I haven't had time yet, to test if the 2nd method (importing the
image-file) works.
Keep the good work,
Leonard
