RGtk2 is completely documented within the R help system, with all code examples converted to R code. There are also a couple dozen demos. For a simple GUI like the one above, try gWidgets. The "pmg" package implements a gWidgets GUI that includes functionality much like what you describe. > > Moreover, I am creating a Windows Application and is using RGtk2 the > only way to create a GUI for an R application? > Or should I use the the VB approach and create the GUI separately and > call R scripts where required to do the back-end computation? > > Another approach (to make the visualization more rich and dynamic) is > to use Adobe FLEX front end and communicate with R using the RSOAP > library.
