txtProgressBar
will display a progress bar on the R console
via a text representation.
setTxtProgessBar
will update the value. Missing
(NA
) and out-of-range values of value
will be
(silently) ignored.
The progress bar should be close
d when finished with: this
outputs the final newline character.
style = 1
and style = 2
just shows a line of
char
. They differ in that style = 2
redraws the line
each time, which is useful if other code might be writing to the R
console. style = 3
marks the end of the range by |
and
gives a percentage to the right of the bar.
For txtProgressBar
an object of class "txtProgressBar"
.
For getTxtProgressBar
and setTxtProgressBar
, a
length-one numeric vector giving the previous value (invisibly for
setTxtProgressBar
).
Using style
2 or 3 or reducing the value with style = 1
uses ‘\r’ to return to the left margin – the interpretation of
carriage return is up to the terminal or console in which R is running.
