;;; Commentary:

;; This file allows R (http://www.r-project.org) code to be applied to
;; emacs org-mode (http://orgmode.org) tables. When the result of the
;; analysis is a vector or matrix, it is output back into the org-mode
;; buffer as a new org table. Alternatively the R code may be used to
;; plot the data in the org table. It requires R to be running in an
;; inferior-ess-mode buffer (install Emacs Speaks Statistics
;; http://ess.r-project.org and issue M-x R).
;; 
;;
;; The user interface is via two different options lines in the org
;; buffer. As is conventional in org-mode, these are lines starting
;; with `#+'. Lines starting with #+R: specify options in the
;; standard org style (option:value) and are used to specify certain
;; off-the-shelf transformations and plots of the table data. The
;; #+R: line is also used to specify the data to be analysed
;; (either an org table or a csv file), and to restrict the analysis
;; to certain columns etc. In lines starting #+RR: you can supply
;; literal R code, giving you full control over what you do with the
;; table. With point in the first #+R line, M-x org-R-apply
;; makes happen whatever has been specified in those lines. 

;; The documentation is currently the Worg tutorial:

(defun org-R-make-index-vectors (cols)
  "Construct R indexing vectors as strings from lisp form.

COLS is the lisp form given by the `columns:' option. It may
take the following forms:

1. integer atom        - the number of the column
2. symbol/string atom  - the name of the column
3. list of length 1    - same as 1 or 2 above
4. list of length > 1  - specification of multiple columns as 1 or 2 above, unless it is
5. list of 2 lists     - each list specifies (possibly multiple) columns

In cases 1-4 this function returns a list of length 1, containing
the R index vector as a string. In case 5 this function returns a
list of two such index vectors.

In cases 1 - 4, when a bivariate plot is requested such as by
`action:lines', the x values are implicit, i.e
1,2,...,number-of-rows.

In case 4, an attempt is made to do something sensible with the
multiple columns, e.g. for `action:lines' they will be plotted
together on the same graph against the implicit x values, and for
`action:barplot' the bars corresponding to a single row will be
stacked on top of each other, or placed side by side, depending
on the value of the `beside' option.

For `action:tabulate', if 2 columns are selected, a
two-dimensional table is created. If more than 2, then the
appropriately dimensioned table is computed and inserted using
the standard text representation of multi-dimensional arrays used
by R (as org does not currently have tables of dimension > 2).

The straightforward case of case 5 is that both lists are of
length 1. For `action:plot' and `action:lines' these specify the
y and x coordinates of the points to be plotted or joined by
lines. 

The intention is that `org-R-apply' does something
corresponding to what would happen if you did the following in R:

fun(x=tab[,xcols], y=tab[,ycols])

where fun is the R function implementing the desired
action (plotting/computation), tab is the org table, xcols are
the columns specified in cases 1-4 above, and ycols are the
second set of columns which might have been specified under case
5 above. For relevant R documentation see the help page
associated with the function xy.coords, e.g. by typing ?xy.coords
at the R prompt.

The following won't work with case 5: `tabulate'
