[Insight-users] Wrapping R with SimpleITK

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello Brandon,

The particular files you looking for are in the SimpleITK source directory not the build. You will need both the DESCRIPTION and the zzz.R files from the {SIMPLEITK_SOURCE}/Wrapping/R_Package directory.

We have been calling R a Tier 2 or Tier 3 language in SimpleITK because is not as well supported as the other wrapped languages such as Python, Java, CSharp or even Ruby, or TCL. The primary reason for this is that we have not gotten the automatic testing working for R, so that it will show up on the nightly dashboard. Additionally, we also are hoping for contribution from the community to get the R language specific features polished and up to the expected R standard conventions.

I hope this helps you with getting SimpleITK working R,

Brad
