[R] productivity tools in R?

[miguel bernal]

Emacs or X-emacs with ess (Emacs Speaks Statistics) is great on Linux and
Mac (can be the console you saw on Mac) for syntax highlight, programming
and debugging. I think there is a package to visualize the links between
functions in a package, but I don't know its name (if anybody knows it, I
will love to know it). 


Best, 

Miguel.

Hi Michael,
Great topic - I hope to see others respond.

For me there are several big "time savers" with using R (on windows XP),
search them on google :
1) tinn-r, for syntax highlighting.
2) "Rexcel" package - for getting data from excel. (BTW, for excel, I also
recommend the ASAP utillities)
3) "debug" package - especially the mtrace command, that allows for "live"
debugging of a function
4) www.rseek.org and http://r-project.markmail.org/ , for searching R
related things in general and in the forum.


I hope for more good tips from people,

Tal
