R console tab

The R console tab enables to send network data from visone to R (using the igraph package) and vice versa. Refer to visone's option dialog to get more information on how to set up the visone R connection.

tab

• r name: defines the name of the igraph network variable in R that the visone network is assigned to (by default this is the name that was assigned to the network in visone...)
• send active net: send the network from the active visone tab to R, creating an igraph network variable with the speficied r name (this will open the console, if it has not been shown yet)
• show r varibles: refresh the overview of network objects that are available in R (shown below the refresh button)
• load selected net: load the network object that is selected in the overview from R to a new visone tab (the name of the network will be the name of the R object; the asterisk reminds you, that it has not been saved yet); alternatively you can double-click on the according network object in the overview

• show console: this button is used to (re)show the console without sending a network

console

There are three tabs displaying different messsages regarding the R connection:

• visone: all messages that originate from visone
• user: all messages that originate from user input in the console
• all: both, user and visone messages

At the bottom of the console you find:

• input field: can be used to invoke any R commands
• close button: closes the R console (but not the connection to R)
