There is no native <strong>in</strong>terface to R other than the comm<strong>and</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e. S<strong>in</strong>ce the majority of the users<br />
want to have a bit more comfortable <strong>in</strong>terface to R, various, platform dependent GUIs have<br />
been developed. They are all different, support different features <strong>and</strong> are usually <strong>in</strong>sufficient<br />
for the expert user.<br />
JGR (speak jaguar) is a Java Gui for R. It addresses primarily the non-developer R-user. JGR<br />
features a build <strong>in</strong> editor with syntax highlight<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> direct comm<strong>and</strong> transfer, a spreadsheet<br />
to <strong>in</strong>spect <strong>and</strong> modify data, an advanced help system <strong>and</strong> an <strong>in</strong>telligent object navigator,<br />
which can, among other th<strong>in</strong>gs, h<strong>and</strong>le data set hierarchies <strong>and</strong> model comparisons. JGR also<br />
allows to run parallel R sessions with<strong>in</strong> one <strong>in</strong>terface. S<strong>in</strong>ce JGR is written <strong>in</strong> Java, it builds<br />
the first unified <strong>in</strong>terface to R, runn<strong>in</strong>g on all platforms R supports.
