relax: relax -- R Editor for Literate Analysis and lateX

package relax contains some functions for report writing, presentation, and programming: relax(), tangleR(), weaveR(), slider(). "relax" is written in R and Tcl/Tk. relax creates a new window (top level Tcl/Tk widget) that consists of two text fields and some buttons and menus. Text (chunks) and code (chunks) are inserted in the upper text field (report field). Code chunks are evaluated by clicking on EvalRCode. Results are shown in the lower text field (output field) and will be transfered to the report field by pressing on Insert. In this way you get correct reports. These reports can be loaded again in cause of presentation, modification and result checking. tangleR() and weaveR() implement a plain kind of tangling and weaving. slider() is designed to define sliders for interactive experiments in a simple way. The syntax rules of code chunks and text chunks are defined by the noweb system proposed by Norman Ramsey (http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/noweb/intro.html). For integrating jpeg graphics into the text field you need the Tcl/Tk Img package of Jan Nijtmans (see: http://members.chello.nl/~j.nijtmans/img.html or http://tkimg.sourceforge.net/, the package is found on http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkimg). The license terms concerning the img package are found in the source file of the package, see: relax/src/tkimg1.3.tar.gz. The windows version of relax contains the Tcl/Tk img package, so no further installations have to be done.
