Start dextergui

Description

Opens a shiny application providing a graphical user interface to dexter.

Usage

dextergui(dbpath = NULL, wd = getwd(), roots = NULL)

Arguments

dbpath

path to a dexter project database or NULL, in which case you can select a project after starting dextergui

wd

where dextergui first looks for and saves project files, defaults to current working directory.

roots

volumes or paths on your hard drive available for opening and saving project files. Set NULL to use all accessible volumes

Details

The best results are achieved when the gui is opened in a browser (Chrome, Brave, FireFox). Somewhat less aesthetically pleasing results are achieved in Internet Explorer. The Edge browser is not supported at this time.

The RStudio browser does not currently support downloads of plots and tables. Starting the gui in your default browser automatically can be achieved in several ways. One way, shown below, is to set the shiny.launch.browser option to TRUE.

Examples

## Not run: 

options(shiny.launch.browser = TRUE)


dextergui()


## End(Not run)
