This is more from the point of view of the beginner; something that I wrote recently on r-sig-teaching: skip I will mention a recent discussion [1] on r-sig-gui that would---I believe---also be interesting to this list. It is about Deducer [2], a new R-GUI built on top of JGR [3], intended to be in some respects similar to SPSS or Minitab. Personally, as a student and a self-taught novice in R, I believe that JGR and Rcmdr are individually (and combined) most helpful to beginners in grasping the basics of R, of course apart from the introductory web sites [4] and beginner-friendly documentation. There is also playwith [5] for graphics manipulation. I'd be keen to add Deducer on the list, when the project matures.

I saw my friend has a R Console window which has automatic syntax reminder when he types in the first a few letters of R command. And he's using R under MAC. Is that a MAC thing, or I could do the same on my PC Windows? More pointers about using R for efficiency in development are highly apprecaited!

2009/7/1 miguel bernal mber...@marine.rutgers.edu I think there is a package to visualize the links between functions in a package, but I don't know its name (if anybody knows it, I will love to know it). reminds me of roxygen's callgraph (relies on graphviz), is that what you meant? baptiste [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

... I saw my friend has a R Console window which has automatic syntax reminder when he types in the first a few letters of R command. ... You might be thinking of JGR (Jaguar) at http://jgr.markushelbig.org/JGR.html . This editor also prompts you with function argument lists, including for functions that you wrote. It's a very nice editor, but currently lacks the overall function of Tinn-R. Even so, I have it on my desktop. The RUnit package is a good start at a standalone test harness, and I'm looking forward to additional capabilities as it matures. There is no IDE for R in the same way that there is for other languages -- something that supports integrated versioning, debugging and testing, perhaps using Eclipse. Boy howdee, I hope someone knows otherwise. cur -- Curt Seeliger, Data Ranger Raytheon Information Services - Contractor to ORD seeliger.c...@epa.gov 541/754-4638 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
