Creating a R-GUI in the wink of an eye
I think many folks have been waiting for this. R is a statistical language widely established itself in the life-sciences. However, many lab people dislike it due to its bare commandline interface. This might change with a new program called RGG:
Self written R scripts are usually not longer than 100-150 lines. In most cases, there are 5-10 code items, that the user needs to change often, like setting the working directory, reading an input file, setting parameters to new values etc. The rest of the code usually remains unchanged.
For this problem we have developed a solution: “R GUI Generator (RGG)”. RGG is a GUI generator for R scripts based on a GUI definition language in XML. A GUI is generated by adding predefined GUI tags to the R script. User-GUI interactions are converted to R code, which replace the xml-tags in the R script.
This sounds quite promising, doesn’t it?
