Just to clarify my (admittedly controversial) opinion. I didn't mean that good GUIs can't be embedded within R, I meant that if you need to do something that goes beyond placing widgets in a window, you probably will want to write the GUI code in another language and call it from R. For example, speedR's GUI interactively calls R but is written in Java. ian _______________________________________________ R-SIG-GUI mailing list R-SIG-GUI@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-gui
