[R] Is it possible for R to import a SigmaPlot file?

[Felipe Carrillo]

Check the package 'foreign'. It can read data from SPSS,Minitab,SAS,Systat (sigmaplot is part of Systat) etc. I also use Sigmaplot and an easy workaround is to convert the sigmaplot file to csv or xls file and then read it into R.
