Objectives

Import data into R from org

Org-mode includes orgtbl-mode, an extremely convenient way of using tabular data in a plain text file. Currently, spreadsheet functionality is available in org tables using the emacs package calc. It would be a boon both to org users and R users to allow org tables to be manipulated with the R programming language. Org tables give R users an easy way to enter and display data; R gives org users a powerful way to perform vector operations, statistical tests, and visualization on their tables.

Implementations

naive

Naive implementation would be to use (org-export-table "tmp.csv") and (ess-exec "read.csv("tmp.csv").
