There are many di erent ways to program Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) in R. (Lawrence and Verzani, 2012) provides an overview of the available methods, describing ways to program R GUI with RGtk2, qtbase and tcltk. More recently, the package shiny, for building interactive web applications, was also released (the rst version has been published on December, 2012). By automatically indexing all objects and methods available in RGtk2, we developed a method for creating GTK2-based GUI, in a friendlier and more compact manner. Widgets are accessible with simple functions and options, as is more natural for a R language programmer.
