Here’s something I came across by accident, an R package called fgui which has the ability to automatically create a widget just by passing it a function with parameters, e.g.:
# load packages
require(fgui)
# add two number together and return the value
add <- function(x1, x2) {
return(x1 + x2)
}
# execute function through GUI
y <- guiv(add)
# [1] 5
The GUI produced from the code above looks like this:
I love how easy that was to do, very cool, and useful too! The package is a wrapper to the base R package tcltk.
