Thanks, John,
Here is some code to show what I want to do. BTW, it seems there is a
bug in svalue in gWidgetstcltk for gtext when using the drop=T
argument.
getsel <- function(obj, toolkit, ...) {
### get the selected text from gtext
getWidget <- gWidgetstcltk:::getWidget
if(tclvalue(tktag.ranges(getWidget(obj),"sel")) != "")
### notice
### gWidgetstcltk's _svalue(drop=T)_ has bug. should add tclvalue to
the above line.
{ val = tclvalue(tkget(getWidget(obj),"sel.first","sel.last"))}
else val =""#tclvalue(tkget(getWidget(obj),"0.0","end"))
val = unlist(strsplit(val,"\n"))
return(val)
}
get_index <- function(obj, toolkit, ...) {
### get the selected text from gtext, return the index instead of text.
getWidget <- gWidgetstcltk:::getWidget
if(tclvalue(tktag.ranges(getWidget(obj),"sel")) != ""){
val = strsplit(tclvalue(tktag.ranges(getWidget(obj),
"sel")), " ")[[1]]}
else val =c(0,0)
return(as.numeric(val))
}
require(gWidgets)
#initial parameters, storing the relavant information
freecodes <- c("node1","node2")
n_coding <- 0
node <- character(10000)
chunk <- character(10000)
begin <- numeric(10000)
end <- numeric(10000)
imported_file <- readLines(file.path(R.home(),"COPYING"))
codepanel <- gpanedgroup(container=gwindow("Code bar"), horizontal = FALSE)
addcode = gdroplist(freecodes,0,container=codepanel,editable=TRUE)
addcodebutton <- gbutton("Add new
code",container=codepanel,handler=function(...) {
if(svalue(addcode)!="")
addcode[length(addcode)+1]<-svalue(addcode)
}
)
## allow the user to change the extant codes -- related to "freecodes" parameter
updatecodes <- gbutton("Update
Codes",container=codepanel,handler=function(...)
assign("freecodes",addcode[seq_len(length(addcode))],pos=1))
## get the items in gdroplist, and push it to variable "freecodes"
coding <- gbutton(" Coding ",container=codepanel,handler=
function(...){
if (svalue(addcode)!="" && sel!=""){
sel <<- paste(getsel(ed),collapse="\n")
sel_index <<- get_index(ed)
n_coding <<- n_coding + 1
node[n_coding] <<- svalue(addcode)
chunk[n_coding] <<- sel
begin[n_coding] <<- sel_index[1]
end[n_coding] <<- sel_index[2]
}}
)
## coding: get seleted text from gtext and link it to specific code/node.
ed <- gtext(con=T,width=500) # gtext
svalue(ed) <- imported_file # push it file to gtext
# steps to using this "toy":
1, enter new code names into the droplist box, for example node3, then
click "add new code"
2, select specific code, for example node2.
3, select text chunk in the gtext, and click coding. repeat step 3 in
coding process.
4, We can see what's been coded by inpecting variable of "node","chunk".
What I don't know how to do:
1, When I select specific code, and click some button (for example
highligh), all the text chunk related to that code will be highlighted
(through color or font style etc.)
2, I would like to arganize the codes like a tree. The code tree and
reorganized by drag and drop.
3, In the coding buttong, how can I avoid using <<- in handler function.
