From: owner-r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:owner-r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch]On Behalf Of Geldenhuys, Willie Sent: Friday, April 30, 1999 5:45 AM I am trying to use the Windows version of R to do the following: - Have a Delphi front-end which gets the user input - Delphi will produce a R script, do a system call to R to calculate the statistics.
I plan to do something similar. I will use Tcl/Tk as a user interface front-end to R. The program will interact with the user via a Tk user interface and send the appropriate R commands to R using expect. Unfortunately, expect runs only on Unix and WinNT, as far as I know. My platform is Sparc/Solaris.
Er, in what sense is Solaris not a Unix variant??? Or did you refer to Geldenhuys being on W95? Anyways, Guido Masarotto has a nice little "proof of concept" thing on how to set things up so that you can call R commands directly from Tcl/Tk code. You may want to check it out. [There's a silly bug (in glibc) preventing it from working on Linux machines (at least RedHat5.2) if you use localization features (LC_CTYPE & friends), but that's probably getting cleaned up in the near future with glibc 2.1, and perhaps portability need not concern you for now]
