Sorry, I was thinking about GTK+ and RGtk2, then they got mixed up in my mind to the strange animal "RGtk+"...
I noticed a few users had troubles with installing RGtk2, so I removed the strict dependence on 'gWidgetsRGtk2' in the next version of 'formatR' (0.1-4). Users can specify other types of GUI's now. For example, a screenshot for the Java interface is here: http://yihui.name/en/2010/04/formatr-farewell-to-ugly-r-code/#comment-9788 Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyi...@gmail.com> Phone: 515-294-6609 Web: http://yihui.name Department of Statistics, Iowa State University 3211 Snedecor Hall, Ames, IA On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 7:25 AM, Prof Brian Ripley <rip...@stats.ox.ac.uk> wrote: > On Sun, 18 Apr 2010, Brian Lunergan wrote: > >> Yihui Xie wrote: >>> >>> This is an announcement of the release of an R package 'formatR', >>> which can help us format our R code to make it more human-readable.
