A better GUI for R

Question

I really love to see something like Reinteract for R. I have been battling with the sourcecode of Reinteract to be able to run it for R. (It is in Python) any ideas on how one may get it to work for R? it is a very useful kind of editor

Answer 1

Have you tried using RPy? It would let you keep the Python code and pass R code to the R interpreter for evaluations.

• http://rpy.sourceforge.net/

Answer 2

I would suggest to use Eclipse with the StatET plug-in: although it may sound overkill to use an IDE as a GUI, it has loads of interesting features including (but by far not limited to)

• code templates
• code completion
• full history (with limited search)
• local cvs
• support for bookmarks

It works great for me on windows. I would also have a look at BioCEP

• StatET

Hope this helps,
