Hi,

there is an ArcGIS toolbox written by Mark Janikas from ESRI that links ArcGIS/ArcMap/ArcCatalog with R through Python. This is more like a proof-of-principle, it allows to access a point clustering method from R from within ArcGIS. Don't ask me for the details, but at least one of the two alternative approaches used is based on RPy.

scriptId=16444

On the other hand, the RPyGeo package for R uses Python (but not RPy!) to call ArcGIS tools from within R. Sort of a basic ArcGIS front-end in R, but it suffers from the long latency time of ArcGIS.

Cheers
 Alex
