rp.do {rpanel}

Runs a user-written action function

Description

Runs a user-written action function, passing a panel to it as a parameter. This can be used to put the rpanel into its initial state. For example, it is useful when using radiobuttons as these do not automatically call the action function when the controls are first created.

Usage

rp.do(panel, action, x = NA, y = NA)

Arguments

panel

the panel to be passed as a parameter to the function.

action

the function to be executed.

x, y

additional arguments for mouse position on the plot, so that the action function can be called with these additional arguments if they are present.

Value

If the argument panel is the panelname string the same string is returned. If the panel object is used, the altered panel is assigned to both the calling level and panel's environment level.
