Hi Ivan,
The latest version of RStudio does allow for at least the Source
Editor windows to be popped out of the main RStudio window. And you
can create a new graphics device (dev.new()) which effectively pops
the graph window out as well. I've found multiple sources windows +
graph windows on one monitor and the rest of RStudio on another
monitor is reasonably close to my workflow with R.app.
take care,
John

Thank you Mollie and all,
So it looks like there's no way to properly use chunks within the
Mac R GUI.
I will have to decide whether I completely switch to RStudio, or
develop in the R GUI and then run in RStudio.
Still, until now I was a great fan of the R GUI on Mac so I'm a
bit frustrated. It would be great if this feature were integrated
to the R GUI some day! Alternatively, a better GUI for RStudio
allowing for multiple screens would be fine too (but that's for
another list!).
Bests,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,
Using the R GUI and the built-in editor, you should be able to
format your document in the standard Rmarkdown or knitr way
and save it with the appropriate extension (Rmd or Rnw), but
only run lines within chunks in the console (using command +
enter in the normal way). You can make sure all the chunks are
working in that way. Then to format the whole document you can
use a command in the Terminal as described in the links Tom
sent or reopen the document in Rstudio.
Somehow my R GUI can?t find the right pieces to make the pdf,
so I have to use the Terminal. render("EstObsErr.Rmd")
produces the error
/usr/local/bin/pandoc EstObsErr.utf8.md
<http://EstObsErr.utf8.md> --to latex --from
markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash-implicit_figures
--output EstObsErr.pdf --template
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/rmarkdown/rmd/latex/default-1.14.tex
--highlight-style tango --latex-engine pdflatex --variable
'geometry:margin=1in'
pandoc: pdflatex not found. pdflatex is needed for pdf output.
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 41
cheers,
Mollie

Thank you for your answer.
I don't usually use the Terminal, so I'm not sure how to
do it.
But do you mean to start it from the Terminal and then use
the R GUI or do everything in the Terminal? In the latter
case, I would prefer using RStudio... My question was
about using the R GUI Editor rather than RStudio.

Ivan,
You need to run knitr manually from the terminal
(RStudio automates this with the ?knit? button). See
http://joshldavis.com/2014/04/12/beginners-tutorial-for-knitr/
http://kbroman.org/knitr_knutshell/pages/Rmarkdown.html
for short tutorials on using knitr from the terminal.
Regards,
Tom

Dear Mac useRs,
A colleague of mine have introduced me to
rmarkdown and knitr to produce nice reports. The
other interesting thing here is to have so-called
chunks of code, which I find very practical to
organize scripts.
I have found that it works well within RStudio.
But is there a way to enable chunks within the R
GUI (and its great editor)?
What I don't like with RStudio (except that I need
to install still another software, and place is
limited on the 256GB SSD of my MacBook Air) is
that it is not able to work on multiple screens.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Ivan
