[R] SciViews-R, a GUI layer and companion applications for R

[Philippe Grosjean]

Hello,
An alpha version (unstable, still in development) of SciViews-R can be
downloaded from http://www.sciviews.org/SciViews-R. See also screenshots at
http://www.sciviews.org/software/rconsole.htm.

The SciViews R package provides functions to implement GUI features (object
explorer, script with context-sensitive help and completion lists, ...) and
to ease the communication with external programs (export, copy, ...). Views
are HTML representations of R objects mixing text, nicely formatted tables
and graphs. A reporting feature allows to append views to a report as the
analysis is run, and to edit the resulting document. All these functions are
expandable and can be used as a starting point to implement GUIs on top of R
for various platforms.

SciViews-R is an additional component that provides such a GUI environment
for R, using functions in the package. It proposes an enhanced
console/script, a report editor, and a code editor. It runs under Windows
(only tested under Windows XP for the moment).

Finally, a slightly modified version of John Fox's R Commander
(http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/index.html) is made
compatible with this new environment.

Best Regards,

Philippe Grosjean
