Dear Ulrike, If I understand correctly what you want to do, the image file is stored in your package. If so, you can use the .path.package() function to locate your package on the file system. For example, the Rcmdr uses the following code to find its etc subdirectory: file.path(.path.package(package="Rcmdr")[1], "etc").
I hope this helps, John ------------------------------ John Fox, Professor Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, Canada web: socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox > -----Original Message----- > From: r-devel-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-devel-boun...@r-project.org] On > Behalf Of Ulrike Groemping > Sent: September-17-09 8:10 AM > To: r-devel@r-project.org > Subject: [Rd] Display image in tcl/tk information window: path to file ? > > > Dear DevelopeRs, > > for an R-Commander plugin, I want to display a pre-stored information image, > if the user presses a button.
