The KernelSession Class

An object of this class handles the communication with an R process. There is usually one main session, but there may also sessions for detached code cells.

Super classes

processx::process -> callr::r_session -> RKernel::RSessionBase -> RKernelSession

Public fields

help_port

The port number of HTML help.

yield

An optional function to service kernel requests

kernel

The reference to the controlling kernel object

---

Method connect()

Connect the session with the main Kernel object

Usage

RKernelSession$connect(yield, kernel)

Arguments

yield

The function that is called when the session objects yields back control to the kernel object, for example in order to wait for comm message when a widget is active.

kernel

The main kernel objectd

---

Method setup()

Set up the R session, by installing hooks etc.

Usage

RKernelSession$setup()

---

Method start_graphics()

Start a httpgd devide and make sure its contents are sent by the kernel to the frontend.

Usage

RKernelSession$start_graphics()

---

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

RKernelSession$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
