Description:
RKWard is meant to become an easy to use, transparent frontend
to the R-language, a very powerful, yet hard-to-get-into
scripting-language with a strong focus on statistic functions.
RKward will not only provide a convenient user-interface, however,
but also take care of seamless integration with an office-suite.
Practical statistics is not just about calculating, after all, but
also about documenting and ultimately publishing the results.
RKWard then is (will be) something like a free replacement for
commercial statistical packages. In addition to ease of use, three
aspects are particularily important:
1: It will be a transparent interface to the underlying
R-language. That is, it will not hide the powerful syntax, but
merely provide a convenient way, in which both newbies and
R-experts can accomplish most of their tasks. A GUI can never
provide an interface to the whole power of a language like R. In
some cases users will want to tweak some functions to their
particular needs and esp. to automate some tasks. By making the
"inner workings" visible to the user, RKWard will make it easy
for the user to see where and how to use R-syntax to accomplish
their goals.
2: For the output, RKWard strives to separate content and
design to a high degree. It will not try to design its own
tables/graphs, etc, which have to be converted to the style used in
the rest of a publication by hand. Currently RKWard uses HTML for
its output. Using appropriate style definitions reformatting this
output to match the rest of the publication will be easily doable.
In future releases RKWard will even seek stronger integration with
existing office suites.
3: It relies on a language, that is not only very powerful, but
also extensible, and for which dozens of extensions already
exist.
What's New in This Release:
· add support for a focus-follows-mouse activation
behavior of the MDI windows (Settings->General)
· ability to mark arbitrary "blocks" in script editor
and run them with a shortcut
· make sure that R only handles SIGSEV, when the R
thread is active. Should give better backtraces and less hangs
· object viewer was redesigned to use space better, and
only fetch the print-representation when needed
· more icons added
· data.frame editor can be set to read-only mode
· code completion in script editor shows icons for the
different object types
· settings dialog is now shown in "page tree" mode
· port to KDE 4
