Is there any usable emacs mode for Rscript? (Rscript is the script front-end for the R language.) If I type this: #!/usr/bin/Rscript print(commandArgs(TRUE)) and do indent in the ESS R-mode it indents the first line like crazy, since it sees it as a comment: #!/usr/bin/Rscript print(commandArgs(TRUE)) ...
I'm looking to streamline my Sweave document creation, and I'd like to hear about people's current setups. I feel like the holy grail goes something like this: Editing Rnw code on one half of the screen Single keybinding compiles Sweave document and runs pdflatex View PDF on the other half of the screen; once compiled, PDF is refres...
I love the Emacs ESS combination. I love sending lines, functions, regions, and buffers of code to the command line for evaluation without using the mouse. However, I've noticed that the Eval Function command in Emacs is much slower than simply running source("fns.R"), where fns.R is the file that contains the function I want to eval...
I'm not sure if this is possible, but does anyone know if I can pipe ESS commands (i.e. evaluate region) to a R process running outside of Emacs? The Emacs terminal hangs up a bit (more often than Apple's terminal) and I'd like to just ditch it, while still using ESS commands. Currently I am doing the less efficient copy and paste techni...
I launch Blackberry ESS in standalone mode. However I don't have Outlook Express on my computer. Instead I have Outlook 2007 on my computer. I set up an email account in Outlook 2007 which uses 'localhost' as its pop3/smtp server. The port numbers I used are the same as those in http://www.blackberryforums.com/developer-forum/5590-sendin...
Is there an equivalent of dir function (python) in R? When I load a library in R like - library(vrtest) I want to know all the functions that are in that library. In Python, dir(vrtest) would be a list of all attributes of vrtest. I guess in general, I am looking for the best way to get help on R while running it in ESS on linux...
In Emacs Speaks Statistics for R, how can the auto replacement of "_" with "<-" be turned off? ...
I started using Emacs (ESS) as a default R editor (yes, @Dirk, as you've said, I want ESS), and I must admit it's by far the best R editor I've been using so far. However, I cannot manage to get an output of help() function up to web browser. It keeps displaying help page in a separate R buffer, even if options(help_type = "html", brows...
ess-mode is "Emacs speaks statistics." This mode is useful for editing programs for R or Splus (two separate statistics packages). In my buffer, when ever I type '_' the character is replaced with "<-" which is very frustrating. Is there a emacs lisp statement to turn off this behavior? Thanks, SetJmp emacs: 22.1.1 ess-mode release ...
I am using ESS in Windows XP. I have noticed that shell.exec is much slower with ESS than with RGui (the problem occurs when I try help(ls) for example, the help is displayed much faster in RGui, I tracked it down and it is due to shell.exec). Is there any reason for this? How can I fix it? My default browser is Firefox. ...
Hello, I have switched to using emacs-ess for my R code development and it is working great. I would like to be able to write some small R code I am using for debugging my R script into the scratch buffer, and be able to execute the scratch buffer code in the R process buffer. I've found how I could change the scratch buffer's mode to te...
When editing .Rnw files with emacs, sometimes it gets confused as to if I am in math mode or not. Then, the syntax highlighting gets messed up, and C-f-i inserts \textit{} and \mathit{} opposite to how it normally should. Is seems like there is some bool storing the state of math mode or not, and it gets inadvertently flipped. Is there a...
Hello, In ESS when I am evaluating chunks of code in a .R file using C-c C-j or C-c C-r (to send the line or region to a running R process), how can I get the R buffer to scroll down automatically, such that after evaluating a region the cursor is at the bottom, at the prompt? Thanks. ...
I often run long R scripts when I start my R environment. I would like to be able to load / run the R script in Emacs / ESS and continue other work in another buffer. When I press C-g or C-c C-c the process is interrupted, and I must restart the script. What is the best way to background the R process in ESS / Emacs? EDIT: Thank you ...
I believe that not all R users know elisp. It would be nice if ESS users could share their code in their .emacs file here. Well commented code would be particularly useful. Hope this will promote the use of ESS by R users. ...
I would like to ask regular ESS/R users what key bindings do they use frequently and tips on using ESS/R. ...
ESS allows us to indent a line and an expression. Is there a key binding for indenting a buffer? If not, can we create it? ...
I'm using GNU/Linux distro (Arch, if that's relevant), Emacs v23.2.1, ESS v5.9 and AucTeX v11.86. I want to setup AucTeX to recognize .Rnw files, so I can run LaTeX on .Rnw files with C-c C-c and get .dvi file automatically. I reckon it's quite manageable by editing .emacs file, but I still haven't got a firm grasp on Elisp. Yet anoth...
I would like to know if it is possible to refactor R code in ESS. Using search and replace in Emacs does not seem to be a good alternative to it. ...
Can anyone share his experience on workflow for R peject development under ESS? I tried several times to learn emacs but I have not get it yet. I can understand ESS as an editor, but is there a project view in ESS? what's the efficient ways to set up/view R project directory, coding, and testing, and how's ESS has an edge to facilitate t...
