process.events
Trigger Event Handling
Description
R front ends like the Windows GUI handle key presses and mouse clicks through “events” generated by the OS. These are processed automatically by R at intervals during computations, but in some cases it may be desirable to trigger immediate event handling. The process.events
function does that.
Usage
process.events()
Details
This is a simple wrapper for the C API function R_ProcessEvents
. As such, it is possible that it will not return if the user has signalled to interrupt the calculation.
Value
NULL
is returned invisibly.
