gcommandline {gWidgets} | R Documentation

## A command line interface

### Description

This constructs a simple command line interface for R

### Usage

    gcommandline(command = "", assignto = NULL, useGUI = TRUE,
    useConsole = FALSE, prompt = getOption("prompt"), width = 500,
    height = 0.6 * width, container = NULL, ...,toolkit =
                     guiToolkit())

### Arguments

`command` | Initial command to evalues
`assignto` | Assigns output to this variable is non-NULL
`useGUI` | Is result also printed to GUI. Use FALSE to get text-only instance
`useConsole` | Is result also printed to console?
`prompt` | Prompt to use
`width` | Width of widget in pixels
`height` | Height of widget in pixels
`container` | Optional container to attach to
`...` | Ignored for now
`toolkit` | Which GUI toolkit to use

### Details

Additional commands can be added programmatically with the `svalue<-` method. The The value assigned is a string containing the command. If it has a `names` attribute, this is taken as the variable name to assign the output to.

The `svalue` method returns the command history.

The `"["` method can be used to retrieve the command history as well.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
      obj = gcommandline(container=TRUE)
      svalue(obj) <- "2+2"
      ## assign to x
      command = "rnorm(100)"; names(command) = "x"
      svalue(obj) <- command
      ## look at history
      obj[]

    ## End(Not run)
