The R software is a language and environment implementing a
diversity of statistical methods in the form of a open source project.
This work implements a way to embed R in other computer programs incorporating
the ability to perform statistical analysis.
There are three ways to have access the functions of the R. These options have
advantages and disadvantages. The first form is to call it from batch, that is a system call,
and has as disadvantage to call the R all time that it has a statistic operation to be
executed. The second way is using the Rserve, that is a server TCP/IP, and is necessary a connection
for the net. The third option is using the dynamic library libR. The only disadvantage
of this option is the implementation of the access interface. Therefore our work focus on the
development of this interface.
The functions implemented are: to initialize R, to declare and to liberate variables
inside, and to execute R functions. myR has proved steady and robust as an interface
with R. Further development consists of using myR in a real program, the TerraLib/TerraView,
a GIS free and open source software.
