In JuliaCall: Seamless Integration Between R and 'Julia'

Evaluate string commands in julia and (may) invoke the julia display system.

Description

julia_command evaluates string commands in julia without returning the result back to R. However, it may evoke julia display system, see the documentation of the argument 'show_value' for more details. If you need to get the evaluation result in R, you can use julia_eval.

Usage

julia_command(cmd, show_value = !endsWith(trimws(cmd, "right"), ";"))

Arguments

cmd	the command string you want to evaluate in julia.
show_value	whether to display julia returning value or not, the default value is 'FALSE' if the 'cmd' ends with semicolon and 'TRUE' otherwise.

Examples

if (identical(Sys.getenv("AUTO_JULIA_INSTALL"), "true")) { ## julia_setup is quite time consuming
  ## doing initialization and automatic installation of Julia if necessary
  julia_setup(installJulia = TRUE)
  julia_command("a = sqrt(2);")
}
