Hi, i would like to find out more on how Rgui works. Is there any documentation that details how RGui interfaces with the R language & environment. So, i would like to know things such as: - What language is RGui built in (source available?) - What language is RTerm built in? - how does the output of an R command get directed to the terminal window in RGui? It seems to me that RGui is RTerm packaged in an application with a several convenient GUI capabilities. RGui must then be able to somehow embed RTerm & capture the graphing window produced when plotting. How is this implemented (especially if RTerm and RGui are written in different languages)? Thanks for any information. ken __________________________________________________________________ -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

RGui innards questions

R is Open Source, so just download the source from where you got the binaries (and where you got the binaries is required to have it). You want the file R-1.3.1.tgz. The source code is the documentation. That will save you guessing (and most of your guesses are wrong: Rgui and Rterm are different C front-ends to R.dll which contains almost all the code).
