More R Computing Environment



The Idea


It is useful to be able to have your R commands in an editor where:

• You can easily save what you have done

• Copy blocks of commands and then modify them

• Highlight a block of code and send it to R to be executed.


Implementations


There are several such projects with varying degrees of convenience. Two of the most popular are:

ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics)

Tinn-R -- see the TinnR package on CRAN.
