    Thanks!

Yess! This is amazing. Please make it so that I don't have to remember what commands I need to use or which parameters. I use R once every 4-5 months and every time it feels like I'm starting over. QPlot?! Which parameter goes where? Hist or histogram? Getting over this would be very refreshing. Cheers.

  Thank you for the motivation! Right now im finishing up the fundamentals - basically getting all of R working over the web, manage sessions and removing the dangerous stuff like file operations, socket connections and infinite loops. Then I will add visual "gadgets" that let you do common things fast, as well as interactively, which is important in exploratory data analysis. Thanks again.

  If you're on *nix, Rkward (http://rkward.sourceforge.net/ http://rkward.sourceforge.net/) is a good alternative as well, and it also lets you browse the tree of live objects visually

    I hope this gets ported to OS X and Windows

++ for anything that lets me get stuff done in r without having to remember all those darn plotting params.

  Have a look at deducer, probably the best R GUI out there: http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/08/ggplot2-plot-builder-is-now-available-on-cran-through-deducer-0-4-gui-for-r/ http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/08/ggplot2-plot-builder-is-...

    Looks good. The only criticism I would have is that those inclined to install JGR and Deducer are those least likely to be interested in GUIs.

One of the coolest R visualizers I've seen is specifically for ggplot2. Created by a PhD student at UCLA http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~jeroen/ggplot2.html http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~jeroen/ggplot2.html

  Yes Ive talked to Jeroen, nice guy.

Is it possible to use this software? I only see a screenshot.
- grails4life 16y ago
  soon, but right now its just standard interactive R console via the web ( with interactive graphics).

Also check out R-Node, a Web front-end to R with Protovis. It's still alpha but worth taking a look. http://www.squirelove.net/r-node/ http://www.squirelove.net/r-node/ http://gitorious.org/r-node http://gitorious.org/r-node http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/04/r-node-a-web-front-end-to-r-with-protovis/ http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/04/r-node-a-web-front-end-t...

  Thanks for the links. Looks like this project is focusing more on the command line..mine will have it, but its not the focus.
