Rpad is an interactive, web-based analysis program. Rpad pages are
interactive workbook-type sheets based on R. Rpad is an analysis package, a
web-page designer, and a gui designer all wrapped in one.
For more information and demonstrations, please see:
http://www.Rpad.org/Rpad/
Key features include:
(*) WYSIWYG editing -- The page is editable, so you can add comments or
change the code or input data.
(*) GUI's -- Create GUI elements with R or with the Rpad interface.
(*) Fast -- No browser refreshes.
(*) HTML output -- Create fancy HTML output using Eric Lecoutre's R2HTML.
(*) Simple plotting -- Has convenience functions to simplify creation and
presentation of web-friendly graphics.
(*) Flexible -- You can add features in a number of ways with javascript
and/or R.
(*) Cross platform -- Rpad pages work in Internet Explorer v5.5 or greater
and Mozilla (Firefox or Suite). The server-side code works in Apache in
Linux or Windows (although not as well in Windows).
(*) Open source -- Rpad brings together several powerful open-source
technologies, specifically: R, Mozile, HTMLArea, Statistics-R-0.02,
JSCookMenu, Apache, and R2HTML.
Feel free to use the r-sig-gui mailing list for any feedback on Rpad, the
demonstration pages, and especially for feedback and questions on
installing your own Rpad server.
