The next release of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bio7.org/" target="_blank">Bio7</a> adds a lot of new R features and improvements. One minor change is that the default <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/eclipse/eclipse_perspectives.htm" target="_blank">perspective</a> after the startup of Bio7 now is the R perspective to emphazise the importance of R within this software.</p>
<p>The R-Shell view has been simplified and the R templates have been moved in it’s own simple view for an improved usability (see screenshot from R perspective below).</p>

<p>In addition the context menu has been enhanced to allow the creation of submenus from scripts found in folders and subfolders (recursively added) which you can create for a menu structure.<br>
Scripts can be added created in R, JavaScript, Groovy, Jython, BeanShell, ImageJ Macros.<br>
Java (with dependant classes) can be dynamically compiled and executed like a script, too.</p>
<p>Several improvements have also been added to the R-Shell and the R editor for an easier generation of valid R code. The R-Shell and the R editor now display R workspace objects with it’s class and structure in the code completion dialog (marked with a new workspace icon – see below).</p>
<p>R-Shell:</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://i0.wp.com/bio7.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/codecompl1.jpg?w=450" class="wp-image-3161" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p>R editor:</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://i2.wp.com/bio7.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/codecompl2.jpg?w=450" class="wp-image-3162" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p>In the R editor a new quick fix function has been added to detect and install missing packages (from scanned default packages folder of an R installation – has to be enabled in the Bio7 R code analysis preferences).</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://i1.wp.com/bio7.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/packageinstall.gif?w=450" class="wp-image-3165" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p>Also the detection of missing package imports are fixable (when a function is called but the installed package declaration is missing in the code but the package is installed to deliver the function).</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://i1.wp.com/bio7.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/missingimport.gif?w=456" class="wp-image-3170" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p>The code assistance in the R-Shell and in the R editor now offers completions for, e.g., dataframes (columns) in the %>% operator of piped function calls:</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://i2.wp.com/bio7.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/dplycode.gif?w=456" class="wp-image-3169" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p>In addition code assistance is available for list, vectors, dataframes and arrays of named rows and columns, etc., when available in the current R environment.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://i2.wp.com/bio7.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/arrayc.gif?w=456" class="wp-image-3179" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p>Code completion for package functions can now easily added with the R-Shell or the R editor which loads the package function help for both interfaces. The editor will automatically be updated (see updated editor marking unknown functions in screencast below).</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://i0.wp.com/bio7.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/packageload.gif?w=456" class="wp-image-3181" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p>Numerous other features, improvements and bugfixes have been added, too.</p>
<p>Bio7 2.8 will hopefully be available soon at:</p>
