This package demonstrate how to reimplement the {svDialogs} functions using different widgets and GUI. Only a couple of dialog boxes are currently implementation, just for the sake of that demonstration.
You should execute the code in this vignette in an R interactive session that supports Tcl/Tk display in order to get the various dialog boxes!
# This must be TRUE in order to see the Tcl/Tk dialog boxes
capabilities("tcltk")## tcltk
## TRUEWhen {svDialogs} is loaded, it creates a default .GUI
object using nativeGUI (native dialog boxes) in priority,
followed by textual versions at the command line as fallback alternative
(textCLI).
library(svGUI)
library(svDialogs)
# The default GUI
.GUI## The default SciViews GUI (.GUI)
## using widgets from: nativeGUI, textCLIdef_widgets <- gui_widgets(.GUI)
def_widgets## [1] "nativeGUI" "textCLI"This means that {svDialogs} will use a native box (or a text version, depending from where you run the code in R) for this code:
dlg_message("Hello world!")$resTo use the Tcl/Tk dialog boxes implemented in {svDialogstcltk} in the default GUI without changing anything in the subsequent code that uses the dialog boxes, you just have to load this package before use:
library(svDialogstcltk)## Loading required package: tcltkgui_widgets(.GUI)## [1] "tcltkGUI" "nativeGUI" "textCLI"A new item, tcltkGUI, is inserted at the first position
of the gui_widgets() specification in the .GUI
object. The consequence is the use of the corresponding methods, if they
are defined for the dlg_xxx() functions. For instance, you
should now get a Tcl/Tk version of a message box with the following
code:
dlg_message("Hello world!")$resThe {svDialogs} logic allows to implement simultaneously various GUIs, with different features. For instance, you may be interested to implement a Tcl/Tk-only GUI side-by-side with native dialog boxes that are used for the rest of the R process. In this case, you must manually insert the GUI you want to use in the GUI object.
# Restore nativeGUI + textual fallback for the default .GUI
gui_change('.GUI', widgets = def_widgets, reset = TRUE)## The default SciViews GUI (.GUI)
## using widgets from: nativeGUI, textCLI# Add a new GUI called myGUI
gui_add("myGUI")## Graphical User Interface: myGUI
## using widgets from: nativeGUI, textCLImyGUI## Graphical User Interface: myGUI
## using widgets from: nativeGUI, textCLI# Switch to Tcl/Tk version of the dialog boxes exclusively for myGUI
gui_change('myGUI', widgets = "tcltkGUI", reset = TRUE)## Graphical User Interface: myGUI
## using widgets from: tcltkGUINow, with this configuration, all code that use the default GUI will
display native dialog boxes. However, code using myGUI will
always display the Tcl/Tk version of the dialog boxes.
# A message box in the default GUI (native)
dlg_message("Hello from the default GUI!")$res## [1] "ok"# A message box in myGUI (Tcl/Tk version)
dlg_message("Hello from myGUI (Tcl/Tk)!", gui = myGUI)$res## [1] "ok"These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
