User input in R program

Hello Christian,

for an example of interacting with graphic output, just run

    example(getGraphicsEvent)

However, on X11, that feature had ceased to work since a pre-release 
of R-2.12 if Cairo support was enabled at compile time. The reason for 
this defect had already been documented in R's bugs database for long. 
Maybe getGraphicsEvent still runs on Windows.

HI Everybody

Does anyone know of documentation about different ways of obtaining user
input in R. I have used readline() but I wondered is there are sophisticated
packages that does things like validate answers or generate selection
lists.

bets regards

Martyn Plummer's 'coda' package has some nice interactive menus. The
package appears to be written entirely in R. You could start with the
codamenu() function in the package source:

Have you looked at the  http://www.stats.gla.ac.uk/~adrian/rpanel/ rpanel 
package?

I have a post which shows an example of interactive input that allows user
to adjust plot parameters.

Probably, iplots may be useful for you:

You might consider the gWidgets package. Like rpanel, there are many functions 
that make this kind of thing quite easy to implement.
