This is a package that provides the Gtk graphics device in R as a
stand-alone package with no reliance on Gnome or the R-Gnome user
interface. It also provides a simple mechanism for telling R to use
an arbitrary Gtk drawing area widget as the "canvas" on which a Gtk
device should draw. When combined with RGtk, one can create GUIs
which contain embedded graphics devices.
One can also create different containers for graphics devices,
including notebooks, scrolled graphics devices, paned devices, etc.
See screen
shots.
Download
The package is available as a GNU-zipped tar file
gtk_0.3-0.tar.gz.
In the future, we will probably be able to provide a binary for
Windows.
Installation
To install, issue the command
R CMD INSTALL gtk_0.3-0.tar.gz
This will need to be able to find the gtk-config
executable in order to find the details needed for compiling and
linking Gtk applications on your machine.
