There is a complete (and working :) example in the RInside package. The design used in that application is to have a main C++ program (written with Qt) with happens to 'have R inside' --- which Rcpp and RInside facilitate. RInside is on CRAN as well as on my site at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rinside.html and I blogged about this example at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2011/03/25#rinside_and_qt As Simom mentioned, you can go the other way with keeping R as the core part and extending via R via the qtbase / qtgui / ... project inside the GGobi sources on github: https://github.com/ggobi Dirk -- Two new Rcpp master classes for R and C++ integration scheduled for New York (Sep 24) and San Francisco (Oct 8), more details are at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2011/08/04#rcpp_classes_2011-09_and_2011-10 http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/products/training/public/rcpp-master-class.php ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
