Magic command interface for interactive work with R via rpy2

.. note::

  The ``rpy2`` package needs to be installed separately. It
  can be obtained using ``easy_install`` or ``pip``.

  You will also need a working copy of R.

Usage
=====

To enable the magics below, execute ``%load_ext rmagic``.

``%R``

{R_DOC}

``%Rpush``

{RPUSH_DOC}

            F-statistic: 4.651 on 1 and 2 DF,  p-value: 0.1638

        In the notebook, plots are published as the output of the cell::

            %R plot(X, Y)

        will create a scatter plot of X bs Y.

        If cell is not None and line has some R code, it is prepended to
        the R code in cell.

        Objects can be passed back and forth between rpy2 and python via the -i -o flags in line::

            In [14]: Z = np.array([1,4,5,10])

            In [15]: %R -i Z mean(Z)
            Out[15]: array([ 5.])


            In [16]: %R -o W W=Z*mean(Z)
            Out[16]: array([  5.,  20.,  25.,  50.])

            In [17]: W
            Out[17]: array([  5.,  20.,  25.,  50.])

        The return value is determined by these rules:

        * If the cell is not None, the magic returns None.

        * If the cell evaluates as False, the resulting value is returned
          unless the final line prints something to the console, in
          which case None is returned.

        * If the final line results in a NULL value when evaluated
          by rpy2, then None is returned.

        * No attempt is made to convert the final value to a structured array.
          Use the --dataframe flag or %Rget to push / return a structured array.

        * If the -n flag is present, there is no return value.

        * A trailing ';' will also result in no return value as the last
          value in the line is an empty string.

        The --dataframe argument will attempt to return structured arrays. 
        This is useful for dataframes with
        mixed data types. Note also that for a data.frame, 
        if it is returned as an ndarray, it is transposed::

            In [18]: dtype=[('x', '<i4'), ('y', '<f8'), ('z', '|S1')]

            In [19]: datapy = np.array([(1, 2.9, 'a'), (2, 3.5, 'b'), (3, 2.1, 'c'), (4, 5, 'e')], dtype=dtype)

            In [20]: %%R -o datar
            datar = datapy
               ....: 

            In [21]: datar
            Out[21]: 
            array([['1', '2', '3', '4'],
                   ['2', '3', '2', '5'],
                   ['a', 'b', 'c', 'e']], 
                  dtype='|S1')

            In [22]: %%R -d datar
            datar = datapy
               ....: 

            In [23]: datar
            Out[23]: 
            array([(1, 2.9, 'a'), (2, 3.5, 'b'), (3, 2.1, 'c'), (4, 5.0, 'e')], 
                  dtype=[('x', '<i4'), ('y', '<f8'), ('z', '|S1')])

        The --dataframe argument first tries colnames, then names.
        If both are NULL, it returns an ndarray (i.e. unstructured)::

            In [1]: %R mydata=c(4,6,8.3); NULL

            In [2]: %R -d mydata

            In [3]: mydata
