Usage

juliaCall(...)

Arguments

...	the name of the Julia function as first argument, followed by the parameters handed to the function. All arguments to the Julia function are translated to Julia data structures.

Examples

if (juliaSetupOk()) {

   juliaCall("/", 4, 2)

   juliaCall("sin.", c(1,2,3))
   juliaCall("Base.cos.", c(1,2,3))
