Resources on using R in QGIS for R users?
The principle is simple if you have R installed and is usable in command line.
You can create and/or execute a R Script from QGIS using Processing in QGIS version 2.0 or Sextante in version 1.8):
see:
- Setting “R Folder” Path in QGIS Sextante
- Port your R scripts to QGIS using SEXTANTE
- QGIS with R: Working with the SEXTANTE plugin
- and others
The tool that I was looking for is the rpy extension of Python, which permits execution of R commands from the Python console.
Gene provided some useful suggestions in the previous answer, and then suggested rpy in response to my further questions.
