Console for Red-R & Script to Schematic Translation

Posted in

Is there a console available for Red-R to view codes and commands? Similarly, can R scripts be used to create canvas schematics automatically (like a translator type function). I'm learning R as a public health graduate student and was hoping Red-R could be used in conjunction with a text editor program (like emacs/ess or Rkward) to facilitate my learning. I'm a relatively non-technical user, so please excuse this question if it is naive. Thanks to everyone who is contributing to this project, I think there is a real need for something like Red-R.

If it makes a difference, I'm using the current Ubuntu release.

To see code executed by a widget look to the R Output Window by clicking the R symbol at the bottom right of the widget. For all R code executed use the R Executor widget.

No translator function built yet and creating one would be really difficult since we would have to figure out from the script what widgets were used based on the R commands and some widgets use nested functions so the parser would have to be very "smart". Better to just take your useful scripts and turn them into widgets and then execute any time you want.
