public class RExpression2
extends TypedAtomicActor

The RExpression actor is an actor designed to run an R script or function with inputs and outputs determined by the ports created by the user. Port names will correspond to R object names. The RExpression actor is modeled after the Ptolemy expression actor, except that that instead of using a single mathematical expression in Ptolemy's expression language, it uses a set of the more powerful, higher order expressions available under R. Both input and output port will usually be added to the actor; The names of these ports correspond to R variables used in the R script.

Note that RExpression2 uses the Java/R interface from https://rforge.net/JRI/ which requires that native libraries be installed in your java.library.path.

Since:

Ptolemy II 11.0

Field Detail

log

public static org.apache.commons.logging.Log log

The log.

output

public TypedIOPort output

The output port.

expression

public StringAttribute expression

The expression that is evaluated to produce the output.

Rcwd

public StringParameter Rcwd

The 'R' working directory (home dir by default).

showDebug

public Parameter showDebug

If true, then shoe debugging information about script. If false, then don't. (the default)

Constructor Detail

RExpression2

public RExpression2(CompositeEntity container,
                    java.lang.String name)
             throws NameDuplicationException,
                    IllegalActionException

Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

clone

                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Override the base class to set type constraints.

Overrides:

clone in class TypedAtomicActor

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace for the new object.

Returns:

A new instance of RExpression.

fire

public void fire()

Specified by:

initialize in interface Initializable

Overrides:

initialize in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If a derived class throws it.
