Run R Scripts
R scripts can be executed like any other script (OML, Tcl, and Python) by pressing the Run button. Likewise, you can interrupt them by pressing the Stop button.
Run R Scripts
It is important to note how the R interpreter is accessed from Compose. When Compose starts, only the OML interpreter is loaded. The Python and R interpreters are only loaded “on demand”.
To access the R interpreter:
- Select OR and select an existing R script.
- By selecting an R script, the R interpreter (as defined by the R_HOME environment variable) is loaded and the R Command Window is displayed.
- Use the View menu to show or hide the R Command Window.
The following differences exist between the way Compose runs a
script and the run in R:
- The Run button in Compose works like “source” in R: it executes all commands, but silently.
- Run Selection is available for all or part of the script.
- To emulate the verbose run in the R environment, select all lines of the script and select Run Selection.
