[R-SIG-Mac] How to put below code in Automator in iOS

[Christofer Bogaso]

Hi,

The code is same as in that page. i.e.

require(tcltk)

tt <- tktoplevel()
rb1 <- tkradiobutton(tt)
rb2 <- tkradiobutton(tt)
rbValue <- tclVar("oranges")
tkconfigure(rb1,variable=rbValue,value="apples")
tkconfigure(rb2,variable=rbValue,value="oranges")
tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="Which do you prefer?"))
tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="Apples "),rb1)
tkgrid(tklabel(tt,text="Oranges "),rb2)

OnOK <- function()
{
    rbVal <- as.character(tclvalue(rbValue))
    tkdestroy(tt)
    if (rbVal=="apples")
    tkmessageBox(message="Good choice!  An apple a day keeps the doctor away!")
    if (rbVal=="oranges")
    tkmessageBox(message="Good choice!  Oranges are full of Vitamin C!")
}
OK.but <- tkbutton(tt,text="OK",command=OnOK)
tkgrid(OK.but)
tkfocus(tt)
