Programming Graphical User Interfaces with R (Chapman &Hall/CRC The R Series)

• Provides a how–to guide for developing GUIs within R
• Presents the fundamentals for users with limited knowledge of programming within R and other languages
• Enables R programmers and users to design their own GUIs for specific functions or as learning tools
• Offers a package in CRAN that contains all of the code and additional examples

Focusing on graphic user interfaces (GUIs) within the R language, this book shows programmers and users how to develop their own GUIs, enabling them to interface with other languages. The text opens the possibilities of R‘s huge and growing set of statistical methods. The authors cover four different packages for writing GUIs: gWidgets, RGtk2, Qt, and Tcl Tk. Supported by a package in CRAN that contains all of the code along with additional examples, the text is filled with numerous examples ranging from the very simple to detailed illustrations of how to code actual interfaces.
