How can I keep a graphics device open in R batch mode?
I am trying to use the DataEntry package in R batch mode in Windows. Specifically I am using
Rscript -e "DataEntry::DataEntry()"
The code works, but once the GUI for the form opens, it closes immediately and R exits. I have noticed similar behaviour in the past, whilst trying to show plots using the R graphics device in batch mode.
I did a little searching online and found something that actually suspends complete execution of the script, which I implemented thus:
Rscript -e "DataEntry::DataEntry(); readLines(file('stdin'))"
It halted the execution alright and also displayed the expected window, but the GUI never completely loads and thus is non-operable.
The DataEntry package works with RGtk2, gWidgets2RGtk2 and gWidgets2.
r user-interface batch-processing rscript
