Instead of ;; operating on files, we operate on R objects in the current ;; environment. Objects can be viewed, edited, deleted, plotted and ;; so on. ;;; Commentary: ;; Installation and usage. ;; ;; Load in this library, e.g. with the command: ;; (autoload 'ess-rdired "ess-rdired" "View *R* objects in a dired-like buffer." t) ;; ;; After loading this file, do "M-x R" to start an R session, then ;; create a few variables: ;; s <- sin(seq(from=0, to=8*pi, length=100)) ;; x <- c(1, 4, 9) ;; y <- rnorm(20) ;; z <- TRUE ;; Then in Emacs, do "M-x ess-rdired" and you should see the following in ;; the buffer *R dired*: ;; mode length ;; s numeric 100 ;; x numeric 3 ;; y numeric 20 ;; z logical 1 ;; Type "?" in the buffer to see the documentation. e.g. when the ;; cursor is on the line for `s', type 'p' to plot it, or `v' to view ;; its contents in a buffer. Then type 'd' to mark it for deletion. ;; How it works. ;; Most of the hardwork is done by the R routine .rdired.objects(), ;; which, when called, produces the list of objects in a tidy format. ;; This function is stored within the lisp variable `ess-rdired-objects', ;; and can be altered to provide other information if you so need it. ;; (Martin Maechler suggested providing output from str() here.) ;; Tested on Emacs 21.2, 21.3 pretest and XEmacs 21.1.14, using R 1.6. ;; Todo - compare functionality with ess-mouse-me (ess-mous.el). ;; Todo - How to select alternative environments? Currently only ;; shows objects in the .GlobalEnv? See BrowseEnv() in 1.6.x for way ;; of browsing other environments. ;; Todo - problem with fix -- have to wait for fix() command to return ;; before *R* buffer can be used again. This can get stuck, umm. not ;; sure what is going wrong here. Maybe add a hook to the temp buffer ;; so that when buffer is killed, we send an instruction to R to ;; update the value of the variable to the contents of the buffer. ;; This way *R* doesn't have to wait. ;; Todo - small bug in .rdired.objects -- if we have a variable called ;; `my.x', its value is replaced by the value of my.x used in the ;; sapply() calls within .rdired.objects(). ;;; Code: (defvar ess-rdired-objects ".rdired.objects <- function(objs) { if (length(objs)==0) { \"No objects to view!\" } else { mode <- sapply(objs, function(my.x) { eval( parse( text=sprintf('data.class(get(\"%s\"))', my.x))) }) length <- sapply(objs, function(my.x) { eval( parse( text=sprintf('length(get(\"%s\"))', my.x))) }) d <- data.frame(mode, length) var.names <- row.names(d) ## If any names contain spaces, we need to quote around them. quotes = rep('', length(var.names)) spaces = grep(' ', var.names) if (any(spaces)) quotes[spaces] <- '\"' var.names = paste(quotes, var.names, quotes, sep='') row.names(d) <- paste(' ', var.names, sep='') d } }; .rdired.objects(ls())" "Function to call within R to print information on objects.
