An example of Cocoa GUI for R

The problem is our "time" and writing docs require some. I think that in june, probably after 1.9.1, we can have a documented skeleton on how to implement your own GUI.
Heh, in re-reading I see I edited out that actual verb in my first sentence there. The suggestion was to expose the source in truly-ugly form without any documentation and watch the pathetic flailing of your devoted fans. It would provide for some entertainment at least :-)
Aaah, a good idea - I forgot that the stuff is not in the R CVS ;) Stefano, can you just put a tar ball (with some disclaimer :P) on the page, please? The "glue" with the R console stuff is likely to change, but I'd like some comments on the Obj-C R interface (it can be also used w/o the GUI). The Obj-C code (the GUI is all Obj-C) is much more readable than the C code, so it may be understandable even w/o too many comments :P
I don't want to document too much what we have done since now because what we have now won't be like the final design we have in mind for several reasons. Among the others: the aqua module (like other gui modules) will be absorbed in to R.bin and this is going to happen is r-devel pretty soon.
Thats...interesting didn't they just split those modules out?
I didn't get this either - are there some posts about this? I hoped the reverse would be the case - make the "module" approach even more modular than it is now (but then I don't even know what the plans are ...).
