Using the Python scripting interface in HelixTree you can programmatically access R and S-PLUS commands and run them in conjunction with HelixTree applications. This means you can perform all the statistical and graphics functions that the R and S-PLUS programs offer all within the Helix interface. Combining HelixTree with R and S-PLUS routines make the possibilities for analysis virtually endless. Examples of basic R& S-PLUS routines are included when you download the software.

S-PLUS Integration

If you have a license for S-PLUS, HelixTree provides a python module (pysplus) that enables you to interface with the Windows desktop version of S-PLUS. Pysplus enables the evaluation of S-PLUS expressions and two-way transfer of data between the HelixTree Python environment and S-PLUS. You must have S-PLUS installed on your computer and have the S-PLUS cmd directory in your PATH in order for Python to be able to load the appropriate S-PLUS libraries.

Using the R Package

HelixTree includes Python 2.3.5 and successfully accesses R when you download and install the correct packages.
