Can somebody please explain how the "Open in R" node is supposed to work?
I have Rserve started and the R-Scripting Snippets run OK. Now if I run the node, absolutely nothing happens.
Is R supposed to come to the front? Should I look for a new variable in my R workspace? (There is none)
I must say that the R-Scripting nodes look as they might have huge potential, but without even rudimentary documentation and a few examples, it's difficult to utilize them even for longtime KNIME and R users...
I am having the same problem. I would like to visualize something in R, but when I use the OpenInR node, it just opens the RGui, and that's it. It stops there.
Is this what's supposed to happen, because I thought your scripts was supposed to run in R and show the output.
this node won't execute any script you put into the node. I will only open the RGui containing the variable kIn (as it comes from Knime as input to the node). Now it's your turn to prototype an R-script or run R-code from a snippet (copy / paste is your friend).
That's indeed pretty handy to know. Perhaps there should be a bit more documentation considering these nodes.
But if it just inserts kIn into the RGui, then why are there OpenInR templates?
Because what I was trying to do is using the rgl package in knime, to have 3D visualisation. But since the output of the R plot is an image and the output of the R Snippet is a datatable, I thought the OpenInR would do that, but i suppose it just won't work then.
OpenInR just provides you the possibilty to import a Knime table into R (the same way as an RSnippet oder RPlot would do). (So you don't need to use a CSVwriter and think about file location). It's good for prototyping R-scripts or to search for syntax errors in an RPlot- or RSnippet node.
Whatever you do with this data in R is up to you (you can run your rgl plots there if you like).
