svGUI

'svGUI' provides a general mechanism to implement GUIs in R, including own storage environment, and information on the GUI status. For instance, one would know if a dialog box is displayed, is modal, or what was the result of the last dialog box used. Moreover, a mechanisms to use fallback in case the desired GUI is not available (for instance, by using a textuyal version of the dialog box) is also implemented. To look at an example of use, see the 'svDialogs' R package.
