Examples

library("gWidgetsRGtk2")

## a GUI will show up on loading if one of the gWidgets toolkit is
## present (e.g. via library(gWidgetsRGtk2))
library(formatR)

g = tidy.gui()

## we have control over the text widget, e.g. set or get the text

svalue(g) = c("# a single line of comments is preserved", "1+1", 
    "if(TRUE){", paste("x=1 ", "# inline comments!"), "}else{", 
    "x=2;print('Oh no... ask the right bracket to go away!')}", 
    "1*3 # another inline comment")

## click 'Convert' now, and see

cat(svalue(g), sep = "\n")  # get its value
