[BioC] Rgraphviz, R 2.7.0 and Windows XP

[Li Long]

Hi,

There are some major changes in Rgraphviz on Windows from BioC 2.6 to 2.7,
mainly to support various versions of graphviz.  Before BioC 2.6,
Rgraphviz on Windows uses VERY OLD graphviz (more than 2 year old) only.

Since BioC 2.7, Rgraphviz on Windows is parallel to that on Linux, i.e.,
you can use different version of graphviz on Windows.

The downside of this is that you have to install graphviz on Windows and
set up a few env variables before install Rgraphviz.

Back to the question:
(1) yes, Rgraphviz works with BioC 2.7,
(2) no, Rgraphviz works with BioC 2.7 in a different way as with BioC 2.6.

If you don't install graphviz on Windows for various reasons, I think you
can retrieve older version of Rgraphviz and it should work with BioC 2.6.

Hope this helps.
