Dear R users,
I have some troubles with dealing with tclObj objects. I try to explain
it with a toy example:
Say I define the following tcl procedure which just prints out each list
element
library(tcltk)
.Tcl('proc test {myList} {
foreach i $myList {
puts stdout $i
}
}')
and I call it with:
> tcl('test',letters[1:5]) # Works as expected
Now say I define a tcl variable first:
> a <- tclVar("")
> tclObj(a) <- as.tclObj(letters[1:5])
> tcl('set',a) # output list
However
> tcl('test',a) # does not work as expected, returns the variable name
Why not? In fact, how do get the name of the "a" list in tcl (something
like RTcl...) so I could use it as follows
> .Tcl('test $RTcl1') #works
Loops are much quicker in tcl than in R, hence I try to do some
computations in tcl and not via wrapper function in R. I therefore need
a way to easily access tcl variables from within R and tcl.
Thanks for any help,
Adrian Waddell
