[R-sig-eco] script editor

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Here's another fan of TINN-R. The TINN-R website suggests a few line of
code to add into the Rprofile file which causes TINN-R to launch as soon
as you start up R. Furthermore it has syntax highlighting that works for
brackets too (display what opening bracket corresponsed with a closing
bracket). And one can define shortcutkeys for sending code to R.

Let's say that I don't want to miss TINN-R for all R, S+, Latex, Sweave,
HTML and PHP stuff.

Cheers,

Thierry

than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

I also like Tinn-R. It's simple and easy to use. Just in case this will
save you
a bit of frustration, be sure to install R in SDI mode (choose custom
installation in the Install Wizard to get the option). The default is
MDI mode
and Sci-Views says new Tinn-R versions don't play well with R. I've
never tried
it, so I don't know what happens if you use MDI mode.

One handy feature of Tinn-R (and probably other editors) is that you can
click
the R-> icon on the upper right to launch R. That passes your current
working
directory to R when it loads up, so you never need full path names in
data read
statements. Just put the .R script and the data in the same directory,
open
Tinn-R by double-clicking the .R script, and then launch R from Tinn-R.
