[TxMt] New R Bundles for testing

[Hans-Joerg Bibiko]

Dear R users,

in the last weeks I've looked for a better R integration into TM.

Finally I came up with these three bundles:

1) R
In principal I rewrote all commands to be more flexible and to avoid  
to call R to get some information (except for the command 'Tidy').  
I.e to show e.g. a function signature/help/insert a function  
parameter/completion etc. the command will look for it within R's  
help file system. This is not only faster but also one has now access  
to all installed packages. In addition to that these commands also  
parse the entire R script for function declarations.
Please note if a command using that index will be invoked for the  
first time or if you deleted or installed a package the index file  
will be rebuilt, and this takes some milliseconds.

I also fine-tuned Rmate. Now all plot are displayed inside of the  
output window as thumbnails (click on it to open; drag it to save it  
as pdf). Furthermore now it is also possible to send a very large R  
script to Rmate. By using the old approach Rmate's pipe overflowed.


2) R Console (Rdaemon)
I fine-tuned the entire Rdaemon. I used it many days and it turned  
out it's stable, fast, and you're more flexible once you understood  
the underlying philosophy. In other words it makes really fun. Of  
course, R is rather complex and I'm sure that I missed some things.

3) R Console (R.app)
In that bundle you will find all commands to remote the standard R.app.


Both Console bundles are extensions to the R bundle, meaning they  
make usage of commands, snippets, etc. defined in the R bundle.


For each bundle I tried to write an help file. In beforehand sorry  
for my terrible English, it's fast written and not yet proof-read.

The best thing to start is to read the help file and have a look at  
the bundle menus.

!!VERY IMPORTANT!!
Before installing these bundles please backup the 'old' R bundle  
(maybe, what I did is a flop ;) and delete the bundles R and - if it  
exists - Rdaemon; quit TM; start TM; and then install the new bundles.


All these bundles have beta status. Thus I would be very appreciated  
if someone could test them and give me any feedback regarding:
-what doesn't work
-what is illogical or unclear
-bad arrangement or key binding
-what's missing/wrong/unclear in the help file
...

plus what Mac OSX version, ppc or intel, which R version


If Allan is back I will upload the new R bundle to the repository and  
both Console bundles to the test repository.

Cheers,

Hans
