svDialogs: 'SciViews' - Standard Dialog Boxes for Windows, MacOS and Linuxes

Description

Quickly construct standard dialog boxes for your GUI, including message boxes, input boxes, list, file or directory selection, ... In case R cannot display GUI dialog boxes, a simpler command line version of these interactive elements is also provided as fallback solution.

Details

The dialog box function dispatch to specific dialog boxes depending on the OS and whether a GUI can be displayed or not.

Important functions

Note

Under Linux, you should install 'yad' (preferably), or 'zenity'. If you use 'zenity', you cannot build more complex dlg_form() dialog boxes, and some versions trigger a warning like: "Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged." You do not get these inconveniences if you use 'yad' (default choice in case both programs are installed simultaneously).
