490 Extending JMP Chapter 14
Working with R
Using R Name() with R Send()
The R Name() option to R Send() has an argument that is a quoted string that contains a valid R object
name. The JMP object sent to R becomes an R object with the name specified. For example:
R Send( jmp_var_name, R Name( "r_var_name") );
R Submit( "print(r_var_name") )
Example
This example creates a variable x in the Here namespace, a variable y in the global namespace, and a
variable z that is not explicitly referenced to any namespace. The variable z defaults to Global unless Names
Default To Here(1) is on. These variables are then passed to R.
Here:x = 1;
::y = 2;
z = 3;
//Initiate the R connection
R Init();
//Send the Here variable to R
//Here:x creates the R object Here.x"
R Send( Here:x );
R Submit( "print(Here.x)" );
/* Note that the JMP log labels the output with the original JMP variable
reference Here:x. */
//::y creates the R object y
R Send( ::y );
R Submit( "print(y)" );
//To use a different name for the R object, use the R Name() option
R Send( Here:x, R Name( "localx" ) );
R Submit( "print(localx)" );
/*The R Name option to the R Send() command creates the R object named
"localx"" corresponding to the JMP variable "Here:x". Again the log shows
the original corresponding JMP variable name.*/
//z creates the R object z
R Send( z );
R Submit( "print(z)" );
Troubleshooting
Recording Output
On Windows, if you want to record output to the graphics window, send the following R code using R
Submit( ).
