Hi, I notice that GUI development is on the agenda for the BioC Users Group meeting. So I thought I'd give an update on what I'm working on. Some of you know, I have an R/TclTk GUI for the limma package called limmaGUI, which is only for cDNA microarray data. (Slightly out-of-date) screenshots of worked examples are available at : http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limmaGUI/Doc/ More recently, I've been working on an affy version of the GUI called affylmGUI. Screenshots are available at: http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/affylmGUI/Doc/Estrogen/ The discussion at BioCBUG may focus more on web-based GUIs which is fine. But Tcl/Tk may be of interest to some people. If anyone wants to install limmaGUI or affylmGUI, they require the Tcl/Tk extensions Tktable and BWidget (available in the ActiveTcl distribution) or from sourceforge. tkrplot from CRAN is required for plotting and some other R packages are recommended (see the DESCRIPTION files). install.packages("limmaGUI",contriburl="http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limm aGUI") install.packages("affylmGUI",contriburl="http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/aff ylmGUI") Don't try to run them both simultaneously in the same R session - not possible yet.
