[Rd] Link between Qt GUI and R
hi, i want to build a Qt front-end GUI which communicates with R, and i am not sure what i should use for the interface. There seems to be many ways: R.dll, Rinside, Rcpp, RQt, Rtools... . what is the best way? please advice. basically what i want to do is that, the Qt GUI will allow users to make selection and enter numbers, these inputs will be fed to R, already written .R files will perform the calculations, the calculation results (graphs/numbers) to be fed back and display in the GUI. graham -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Link-between-Qt-GUI-and-R-tp3804976p3804976.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

hi everyone, thanks for all the tips. Barry, can you tell me why you think PyQT is by far the best way? graham -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Link-between-Qt-GUI-and-R-tp3804976p3806067.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
Re: [Rd] Link between Qt GUI and R
hi Barry thanks for your explanation. actually i don't know much about python, also i know nothing about C++, but i am willing to learn. i had a look at the Rpy documentation, it looks quite good. I can see you can use R functions within Python. However, i don't really want to do that unless it is necessary, because all my codes necessary for calculation are already written in R ! I am not sure but I guess it is possible to get the numerical inputs from the GUI, initiate the already written R codes (dot R files) to calculate and produce the graphs/number, feed it back to Python/PyQt, and finally display in the GUI. Is that possible? graham -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Link-between-Qt-GUI-and-R-tp3804976p3807563.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
