RPGM Documentation

RPGM executes RPGM applications developed with RCode. RPGM works as a standalone software. The developpers make the PGM apps in RCode in an RPGM project.

PGM Apps

An PGM app is composed of several files:

• A settings file (.ppro): this file sets global properties and settings for the app.
• Sequence files (.pseq): the workflow (steps) of the app are drawn with a chartflow.
• Graphical User Interfaces file (.pgui): the end-user interacts with the app through an interface, which is the link between the end-user and R, and is composed of widgets.
• R and/or Python files: R/Python code to be executed, see the RCode Editor documentation.

Tutorials

To start with the developement of RPGM apps, several tutorials are available:

• Getting started: this tutorial explains the main mechanisms of a PGM app.
• Dynamism & Layout: this tutorial will teach how to create better PGM apps, by showing how to make them more dynamic (a modification of a widget or a click on a button can update the current interface). Moreover, the layout widgets are introduced.
• Plotly: a tutorial dedicated to the graph widget.
• Styling with CSS: a simplifed language for styling every widget or graphical user interfaces with (almost) no limit. Can be used in several ways in RPGM, explained through the tutorial.

API

A PGM app can be built with no code for the graphical user interfaces. However, a full API is provided in order to make them more dynamic, to create Excel outputs or to access to the CSS properties of the app.

• R/Python GUI functions: to dynamically manage the GUI.
• R/Python RPGM functions: to manage the PGM app.
• R/Python Script functions: to manage the script, essentialy to provide information to the user about the script execution and status.
• R/Python XLSX functions: to create an Excel output.
• CSS Reference: the list of the CSS classes used in RPGM, to customize them.
• CSS Widgets: the list of the CSS classes used for widgets.
• Widget Properties: the list of the properties of the widgets which can be changed, dynamically.
• Widget Types: the names of the types and subtypes of all widgets.
