Graphical facilities are an important and extremely versatile component of the R environment. BioUML supports R graphic component with rplot JavaScript function:

rplot (RObject r, String expression)

   r - RObject object;

  expression - R expression which contains R graphic commands

The result of rplot function is Graphic Dialog in workbench version of BioUML and new browser window with picture in Web version.

Note: prlot will not display a result in console version of BioUML.

Simple example

Draw simple graphic with random values

var rObject = R.rserve();                      //get RObject

rplot(rObject, "e;plot(density(rnorm(100)))"e;);   //execute graphic script 

Complex example

Draw 3D graphic using R preprocessor

r = R.rserve();                                 //get RObject

#R(rplot(r, R))                                 //start block of commands for rplot

 z <- rbind(z0, cbind(z0, z, z0), z0); 

 x <- c(min(x) - 1e-10, x, max(x) + 1e-10); 

 y <- c(min(y) - 1e-10, y, max(y) + 1e-10);

 fill <- matrix("e;green3"e;, nr = nrow(z)-1, nc = ncol(z)-1);
