Hi,

the extension R and RapidMiner is a really great combination.  :)

Now I have a question about using R plots inside RM Reporting.
The generation of reports in RM is clear to me, but how do I transfer a plot from a R script back to RM, so I can use it inside the report operator?
The genereic R result type for the report is text based only.
The video tutorial about the R extension shows how table data from a R data.frame is transfered back to the RM process.

Does anybody know, if and how a R plot can be used inside RM reporting?

Thanks

Ralf

    OK, one way is to generate an image from the R plot and then integrate it via template image.
    Is there a better way to integrate simple jpeg images into a report?
    I didn't find any special setting inside the report operator.

    Hi,
    unfortunately this is currently not possible, but it is already on our todo list. We allow any R Script to generate an object containing the plot. It will then be reportable :)
