I successfully run Emacs on a Windows laptop then use Emacs' Tramp to connect
to a Linux server using SSH. Emacs in this fashion supports editing .R files
resident on the remote machine and running of R in an inferior Emacs shell. The
R process runs on the server. Also, I successfully use Putty and Xming to allow
display of R plots executed in R on the remote machine to be displayed on the
Windows laptop.
One last thing that would complete this configuration is if I could use the R
View( ) command to look at data frames resident within the R process. The
following is the error:
> View(cars)
Error in .External2(C_dataviewer, x, title) : invalid device
In addition: Warning message:
In View(cars) : unable to open display
>
Has anyone been able to either get View( ) to work under this configuration or
devised another solution? I have used Sweave with xtable and then displayed the
pdf file in the Putty/Xming window on the laptop but this is slow.
Thanks,
Dr. Jim Allison
