Examples

  • List of features
  • Screenshots of playwith examples
  • Demos of creating custom tools for playwith:

Installation

  1. Make sure you have the GTK+ libraries, version 2.10.11 or later:
    • Windows: RGtk2 will automatically install GTK+ on Windows if necessary. To get the latest version, download and install the Gtk+/Win32 Runtime Environment from here (~6MB).
    • GNU/Linux: GTK+ is usually included on desktop systems but may need to be updated.
    • MacOS: a GTK+ installer is available from here (~25MB).
  2. Install the playwith package from CRAN:

    install.packages("playwith")

  3. library("playwith") to load the package.

Type help("playwith") for details and examples.

Troubleshooting

If you are using R on Windows you may find the playwith window disappears behind the "RGui" window. To avoid that, set RGui to run in "SDI" mode via Edit > GUI preferences; or just minimise the RGui window.
