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()

Arguments

Value

NULL is returned invisibly.

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.
