  Support for R programming language

Have you thought of producing a Chart Director distribution for the programming language R?
R is used for many statistical operations and yet the graphics features in the language are not very straightforward.

I think R and chart director could make a powerful combination...

Hi Steve,

We currently have no plan to support more programming languages. To use the R programming language with ChartDirector, you may need to consider to integrate R with another supported programming language, such as using C, C++, Java or command line scripts from R, or vice versa. As I am not familiar with R, I am not sure this approach (integrating multiple languages) are realistic or not.

Note that it is very common for applications to use multiple programming languages. For example, it is common for a Java application to also use SQL (structured query language), HTML (Hypertext Mark Up Language) and Javascript. In particular, if a language is very high level or application specific (like SQL), it would be useful to create an application by integrating it with another general purpose language.
