fgui: A Method for Automatically Creating Graphical User Interfaces for Command-Line R Packages

Thomas J. Hoffmann and Nan M. Laird

Journal of Statistical Software, 2009, vol. 030, issue i02

Abstract: The fgui R package is designed for developers of R packages, to help rapidly, and sometimes fully automatically, create a graphical user interface for a command line R package. The interface is built upon the Tcl/Tk graphical interface included in R. The package further facilitates the developer by loading in the help files from the command line functions to provide context sensitive help to the user with no additional effort from the developer. Passing a function as the argument to the routines in the fgui package creates a graphical interface for the function, and further options are available to tweak this interface for those who want more flexibility.
