I tried to install "ade4TKGUI" but it failed maybe because I did not install Tcl/Tk on my Linux/SuSE ???
* Installing *source* package 'ade4TkGUI' ... ** R ** inst ** preparing package for lazy loading Loading required package: ade4 Attaching package: 'ade4' The following object(s) are masked from package:base : within Loading required package: tcltk Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system Error: package 'tcltk' could not be loaded Execution halted ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'ade4TkGUI' ** Removing '/home/mauede/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.6/ade4TkGUI' I am not sure this package will provide the features I need. I am just looking for the possibility to pop up a message box from an R program. Basically I would like to display some calculation results and some statistic summary in numerical format. No plot. The textual contents should be fed to the pop-up window from the R program. Thank you so much, Maura On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 1:39 PM, Neil Shephard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Maura, > > Compound quotes can become an absolute nightmare (in any language). > > R already has Tcl/TK packages, check out the following from CRAN... > > ade4TKGUI > gWidgetstcltk > plotAndPlayGTK * > RGtk2 > > * possibly what your after? > > Also you might find some of the packages listed at the Graphics Task > View of use (http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Graphics.html), > perhaps something under the Dynamic Graphics section? > > Personally if I wanted fancy graphics for a presentation I'd go down > the line of LaTeX to produce nice PDF's which can have nice grahpics > and "pop up's".
