manageR - interface to the R statistical programming environment
Description:
manageR adds comprehensive statistical capabilities to Quantum GIS by loosely coupling QGIS with the
R statistical programming environment.
Usage:
- Ctrl+L : Import selected layer
- Ctrl+T : Import attribute table of selected layer
- Ctrl+M : Export R layer to map canvas
- Ctrl+D : Export R layer to disk
- Ctrl+R : Send (selected) commands from script window to R console
- Ctrl+F : Toggle the find (search) bar
- Ctrl+H : Display help dialog
Details:
Use
Ctrl+L to import the currently selected layer in the QGIS layer list into the
manageR environment. To import only the attribute table of the selected layer, use
Ctrl+T. Exporting
R layers from the
manageR environment is done via
Ctrl-M and
Ctrl-D, where M signifies exporting to the map canvas, and D signifies exporting to disk. Multi-line
R commands will automatically be recognised by
manageR, however, to manaully enter multi-line commands, use the
Shift modifier when typing
Return to signify continuation of command on the following line.
Use
Ctrl+R to send commands from the script tab to the
R console. If the script tab contains selected text, only this text will be sent to the
R console, otherwise, all text is sent. The script tab also contains tools for creating, loading, and saving
R scripts, as well as basic functionality such as undo, redo, cut, copy, and paste. These tools are also available via the standard keyboard shortcuts (e.g.
Ctrl+C to copy text)
Ctrl+F will toggle (show/hide) the 'find bar'. To search for the next occurrence of the text or phrase in the 'find bar', type
Enter or click the '>' button. Conversely, click the '<' button to search backwards.
Features:
- Perform complex statistical analysis functions on raster, vector and spatial database formats
- Use the R statistical environment to graph, plot, and map spatial and aspatial data from within QGIS
- Export R (sp) vector layers directly to QGIS map canvas as QGIS vector layers
- Read QGIS vector layers directly from map canvas as R (sp) vector layers, allowing analysis to be carried out on any vector format supported by QGIS
- Perform all available R commands from within QGIS, including multi-line commands
- Visualise R commands clearly and cleanly using any one of the four included syntax highlighting themes
- Create, edit, and save R scripts for complex statistical and computational operations
Notes:
- The usual R commands to quit will not work in the manageR console, instead please close the manageR dialog manually.
