send region with function call to R

[Wesley Chen-2]

Dear ESS users,

I am trying to write a function in .emacs to send region with function call
to R. For example

test = rbind(c(1,2,3),c(4,5,6)) ;

Then I can highlight "test" and send a function call like

str(test)

to R using local keybinding . I am not sure whether it is doable with ESS. I
tried to do something with Rscript but there is no output in Rterm.

It's hard for me tell exactly what you want, but is this what you're
looking for?

Full disclosure, this is a blog I run, but I think it is relevant to
this question.

This looks awesome. I will check it out later.

Originally, I was looking for something similar to ess-evaluate-region, but
rather than sending the region, it sends str("selected region/object") or
names("selected region/object") to R. As you mentioned in your blog, I need
to constantly inspect structures of different objects, thus I would like to
write some lisp functions and keybinding to speed up my frequent function
calls. Hope it makes me clearer.

Hi Wesley,

This is just a quick hack, but does this help as a starting point?

(defun ded/ess-execute-command-on-region (cmd)
  (interactive "sEnter function name: \n")
  (ess-execute
   (concat cmd "(" (buffer-substring (point) (mark)) ")")))

Hi Erik,

I tried to put your code into .emacs file and load it. But C-c C-g gives me
error:

Symbol's function definition is void: tool-tip-show-at-point

I tried to save the function as

/usr/share/emacs/22.1/site-lisp/ess-R-object-tooltip.el,

Still did not work.

Here is my emacs version
 22.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

Did I do anything wrong?

Wesley

Very nice Erik, thanks.
One thing though, the tooltip pops up at mouse point, which could be  
anywhere (in the other monitor, in my case, which is turned off). Also  
there is no way to make the tooltip to disappear before the 3secs, or so,  
have elapsed.
  How about having the output in the minibufer?

Thanks,
Vitalie.
