[R-gui] R-SIG-GUI Digest, Vol 90, Issue 6

Sun May 22 12:55:49 CEST 2011

Hi, 

here comes my favorite: RStudio (rstudio.org). It is not yet on the sciviews list. 

It does not have as many clickable functions as RCommander, or RKward, but has some nice menus for beginners -e.g. for reading data - and more advanced users - e.g. extracting functions . The biggest advantage is that it can be set up to run on a server, so students only need a browser to access R. 

Best
Gerrit
