[R-SIG-Mac] Call R framework from my own Cocoa app?

[stefano iacus]

You should try to have a look at the Mac-GUI code


svn co https://svn.R-project.org/R-packages/trunk/Mac-GUI Mac-GUI

REngine classes is probably what you want to use.

It would be nice to have you "on board" if you want to contribute.
