The RGtkScrollpane package

The RGtkScrollpane package provides bindings to the widget GtkScrollpane widget created by Jonathan Blandford. This is the control used for panning around a two dimensional space by simply moving a single rectangle in any direction on the plane. It is used in ghostview/gv and editres as a form of simultaneous 2-D scrolling.

Download

The current version is available as a GNU-zipped tar file RGtkScrollpane_0.1-0.tar.gz

Install

Installation of the package requires the RGtk package. And that package must have been installed using the --clean (or -c) argument, i.e.

 R CMD INSTALL --clean RGtk

in order to create the necessary libRGtk.so library needed by this package.

Given these dependencies, installing this RGtkScrollpane package can be as simple as

 R CMD INSTALL RGtkScrollpane

Running

To use this package within an R session, you will need to make libRGtk.so in <wherever>/RGtk/libs available to the dynamic loader. The simplest way to do this currently is to add this directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting as in

 setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH  <wherever>/RGtk/libs:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<wherever>/RGtk/libs:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

In the future, all of these issues may be taken care of automatically by R.

Windows

There is currently no version for this package for Windows available. It will be available as we test all of the R-Gtk packages on Windows.
