PMOD R Command Window

The PMOD R Command window opens while loading the default setting and the retrieved data. The starting interface is organized in three main areas as it shown below: the Command console, the Output console and the Errors console.

RConsole1

The layout can be organized horizontally (as illustrated above), or vertically. The layout is switched by the option button. The consoles can be temporary hidden using the hide/view arrows $PVIEWHide\Viewarrows$ .

All the data available in the aggregated file are transfered to the R console. For each Statistic name the program automatically associates a variable in the workspace. After the transfer, the number of variables in the workspace is the same as the number of entries in the Statistic name column of one VOI name. The name is assigned automatically and is encoded as follows:

the variables belonging to the first aggregated file are preceded by the prefix "g1_" to which the short name of the Statistic name entry is appended (e.g. for the Average entries the workspace variable g1_avr is assigned while for the Sd the g1_sdv is assigned)
when multiple aggregates are loaded in R, the program takes into account the order of selection and encode the naming accordingly: "g1_*" are the workspace variables corresponding to the statistics information available in the first aggregated file, "g2_*" are the workspace variables corresponding to the statistics information available in the second aggregated file.

The R commands which results in graphic displayed are not allowed in the Command console. Exception is represented by the pm.plot command. There are specific PMOD commands dedicated to the PMOD Command console. This commands list is accessible typing the pm. in the Command console. Their description is available upon selection from the pop-up menu as shown below:
