Re: [Rd] Display image in tcl/tk information window: path to file ?

2009-09-17 Thread Romain Francois 

?system.file

for example (if the file lives in inst/images of your source package)

system.file( images, MaxC2res3image.gif, package = yourpackage )

Dear DevelopeRs,

for an R-Commander plugin, I want to display a pre-stored information image,
if the user presses a button. Everything works fine with the command

tcl(image,  create, photo, MaxC2.image, file=MaxC2res3image.gif)

for image creation, as long as the file entry refers to the correct location
of the file on my hard drive. How can I make this portable ?

I currently have the image stored in the inst directory. R CMD INSTALL
--build moves it to the top directory in the zip file. I have no idea how
to tell R (or tcl) where to look for the file. Any help is appreciated!

Best regards,

Dear Ulrike,

If I understand correctly what you want to do, the image file is stored in
your package. If so, you can use the .path.package() function to locate your
package on the file system. For example, the Rcmdr uses the following code
to find its etc subdirectory: file.path(.path.package(package=Rcmdr)[1],
etc).

I hope this helps,
 John
