[R-pkgs] rpanel package update

[Adrian Bowman]

The rpanel package provides a set of tools to build simple GUI controls for R functions, using the tcltk R package and the Tcl/Tk system. Some ‘cartoons’ which use interaction and animation to communicate statistical concepts are also included.  There have been some difficulties in installing rpanel on some systems (notably Mac computers) due to the reference to a Tcl/Tk module known as BWidget.  This has now been resolved.  If BWidget is not available the rpanel package can still be installed but two facilities, namely the ‘combobox’ (R function rp.combo) and ’notebook’ (R functions rp.notebook and rp.notebook.raise) are disabled.
