I had seen old posts on the list (circa 2002) regarding a Cocoa-R bridge that was under development, but I can't find anything recent about it. Does anyone know if this is available somewhere? If not, does anyone have any experience/pointers calling R functions from Cocoa? Thanks for your time, Lee Falin

The R builds on OSX build an R.Framework; you can probably bootstrap off of that without too much trouble. [I haven't done much with it; wish I had time.] --elijah

R/Cocoa bridge is what the R for Mac OS X GUI is built upon (just grab the sources and look at REngine). However, it's not perfect (its main purpose was to support the GUI - it may need some de-coupling - see also the "stand-alone-REngine" branch) and there is an ongoing project to get write a more general bridge as part of the Mac GUI 2.x initiative. There are also other alternatives, but I'm not sure how public or currently maintained they are these days. Cheers, Simon

Unfortunately the R/ObjC bridge is not part of the framework yet. We're working on it, but we need some more cleanup of the old code. The current plan is to have it ready for R 2.7.0 (but you never know ...). Cheers, Simon

Good to know - looking forward to it. Thanks, Simon! --elijah
