Is it possible to tune RCommander to obtain similar graphs as obtained by using ggplot2? Does RCommander use some plotting package like ggplot2 to plot the graph?

I could script in RCommander to use ggplot2 but the whole point behind using RCommander is that I don't want to code in R.

  • You know why. R is way better than Excel. –  Apr 28 '13 at 16:45

    In my view it is a valid question. If you want to use R through a GUI to get a specific subset of R functionality, that is fine by me. Probably you aren't going to get the kind of power and flexibility out of R that is available, but if the small subset is exactly what you need that is great. – Paul Hiemstra Apr 28 '13 at 19:10

    There are also reasons not to use Excel, for example http://ideas.repec.org/a/eee/csdana/v52y2008i10p4570-4578.html – orizon Apr 29 '13 at 01:42

I know that the deducer GUI has the ability to build ggplot2 plots using the GUI system. This would help you avoid writing code. If you are serious about data analysis, learning to code some R would be very beneficial though.

Have you tried the KMggplot2 plugin for Rcmdr? Here's a link to the package on CRAN:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RcmdrPlugin.KMggplot2/

According to its reference manual, KMggplot2 is

is an R Commander plug-in for Kaplan-Meier plots and other plots by using the ggplot2 package in GUI interface.

  • Hi. How can you get something like par(mfrow=c(2,2)) using menus, without writing it? – skan May 29 '15 at 10:43
  • @skan do you mean in R Commander? I don't know. You should try asking a new question. It's totally unrelated to this topic. – smillig May 31 '15 at 12:36
