Dear R experts, I wonder what IDE (Integrated development environment) you guys use to develop those awesome packages. I am trying to develop a package with lots of scripts in it but find myself have many windows of source scripts (each for a function) open in R GUI. I am trying an IDE called R Studio. It has great potential but currently the syntax colouring is very poor (black, blue, or green, that's it ...) and the tabs are not movable etc. Cheers, Yue

StatET for R is very nice plug-in for Eclipse which provides tools for coding, packaging, object browsing and so on...

Installing RStudio is definitely a breeze. Yes, it allows to choose between several theme for syntax colouring. It is a great tool. I'm looking forward to its future release. Meanwhile, been trying Eclipse/StarET for a while, which is more preferred in my case but may not apply to all.

Hi, I also use emacs. If you use emacs you will want to make use of ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) http://ess.r-project.org/ emacs is a highly customizable and programmable environment. If you haven't used it before you may find the learning curve a bit steeper than that for RStudio and Eclipse. One feature I find to be very helpful/powerful is the use of regular expressions for finding text or making substitutions. One can have multiple "frames" (independent windows), frames can be split horizontally or vertically multiple times to display different "buffers." One can have buffers that run a shell (e.g. bash) and easily copy and paste between buffers. I make extensive use of key bindings that allow me to use my function keys, in combination with the control, option and command (on mac) keys to access my most commonly used commands. I also use "abbrev_defs" to insert commonly used text sequences. One thing I plan to start using soon is "snippets" (from the yasnippet package) Does anyone on the list have a set of "snippets" they have developed for R that they would be willing to share to the list? I can share information about my R emacs addons. How would sharing of code or documents be best done? via a website, sharing google docs? I don't have time for infrastructure development, so something simple would be best. - Aaron -----Original Message----- From: Yue Li Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 3:23 PM To: bioconductor@r-project.org Subject: [BioC] R IDE editor I am trying to develop a package with lots of scripts in it but find myself have many windows of source scripts (each for a function) open in R GUI.

[/snap] I thought I'd use them more, but mine are here: https://github.com/lianos/my-emacs/tree/master/my/yasnippets/text-mode /ess-mode The only ones that really get any use are the setGeneric and setMethod snippets (and they're not bullet proof). I'm also an amateur elisper, so (for the casual passer by), don't take too much inspiration from my config files since they're probably quite -- contorted. --steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology ?| Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center ?| Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact
