We call a widget "dynamic" if it updates itself immediately
when an event occurs, such as a drag and drop, or a change in
some value. The dynamic widgets documented here, are meant to
provide quick, easy (but limited) access to R's modeling
functions, R's significance tests, and R's lattice functions
Usage
dLatticeExplorer(container = NULL, ...)
Arguments
container
A container to attach the object to
...
Currently ignored
Details
For each "dynamic" widget, the variables can be specified by
drag and drop, or by editing the widget. The bold-face areas
of each widget can be edited by clicking on them or by
dropping values. If the drop value comes from a column of an
idf instance, then when that column is edited, the
dynamic widget is updated. Such variables can not be edited or
changed. Other variables may, such as writing powers, or
applying functions.
The "dynamic" widgets are meant for easy exploration, but not
for saving of actions.
The ilatticeexplorer function creates a dynamic
graphing widget based on lattice graphics. Up to three
variables (only 2 for univariate graphs) may be dropped on the
widget. The order is for univariate graphs: ~x then
~x | y. And for bivariate graphs x, x ~
y, x ~ y | z. The panel functions add to the plots of
dots by, typically, incorporating some trend line.
Value
Although there are methods for dModelsDialog, these
widgets aren't meant to be interacted with from the command line.
Note
Some of the usability was inspired by the Fathom software.
