    Interesting.  It looks like the way to make use of this is to combine the information in 
section 6.7.1 ("Distribution functions", including pgamma ...) with section 6.6 
"Calling C from Fortran and vice versa" ?

Thanks to Ben and John. Perhaps the program should call pgamma in R
and pass the number to Fortran. Calling some Fortran subroutines
older than R can trigger concerns when submitting the package to the
CRAN.

Best,

As others have said, built-in function pgamma is a (normalized)
version of the incomplete gamma function!   John

External Email: Use caution with links and attachments.

Sorry for not making myself clear: The Fortran subroutine in an R
package needs to call incomplete gamma function.

     Is there a reason not to use pgamma(), possibly adjusted by a
(de-)normalizing constant?   (See detailed notes in ?pgamma)

Hello,

In an R function within a package, I would like to call a Fortran
subroutine to compute lower gamma function. Any advice will be
appreciated.

Thanks!
