Details

This package exposes two distinct programming APIs for working with progress. withProgress and setProgress together provide a simple function-based interface, while the Progress reference class provides an object-oriented API.

Instantiating a Progress object causes a progress panel to be created, and it will be displayed the first time the set method is called. Calling close will cause the progress panel to be removed.

    on.exit(progress$close())

    progress$set(message = 'Calculation in progress',
                 detail = 'This may take a while...')

    for (i in 1:15) {
      progress$set(value = i)
      Sys.sleep(0.5)
