Newbie help with calling R from C programs

If all you want R to do is the graphics, you might as well use gnuplot for
that, IMHO.

Subject: [R] Newbie help with calling R from C programs

Hi,

I'm a new user of R (since yesterday) and I'd like to see if 
I can use it
in my codes. I often run large simulations which can take 
hours or days to
complete and I need a way of viewing how my data is evolving while the
simulation is running.

I figure I can output my temporary data into a file and then use the
system command in C to execute R with some command line 
parameters. Now is
there a way that I can order R to load in the data file, set 
some plotting
parameters, create a plot and exit? I'd like to be able to do 
it in such a
way that the only visible output is the plot display window 
and no input
is required of the user.

Any advice would be appreciated, or if you know of someplace 
this question
has been adressed before.

Thank you,
Marko Krco

P.S. I'll be doing this in Linux
