R Snippet

R Script
The code being executed in R. Input data is available as a data frame named knime.in, while the desired output image must be generated as an R view (eg. don't use the R function "png()" as this will likely result in a empty view).
Flow Variable List
The list contains the flow variables that are currently available at the node input. Double clicking any of the entries will insert the variable at the current cursor position.
Column List
The list contains the column references that are currently available at the node input. Double clicking any of the entries will insert the respective identifier at the current cursor position.

Advanced

Overwrite default path to R home
Check this option to select a path to the home of a R installation that is different from the path configured on the R preference page. The path must point to the root folder of the R installation tree. You can either specify the path directly or use the R installation in a conda environment. The conda environment can be specified using a conda environment flow variable from e.g. a “Conda Environment Propagation” node.
