following the tutorial http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-R/org-R.html, I get stuck because I can't find the function org-R-apply.

I have R installed on my computer and the package ess has been installed with usepackage ((use-package ess :ensure t)) which automatically does the require, and added the entry (R . t) to babel suppported languages.

I also have tried to require ess-site manually as it has a different name from the package, but the function is still not here.

  • Unfortunately that article is outdated. First paragraph says Org-R has been replaced by Org-babel.... org-R-apply is not in Org anymore. If you want to see the now deprecated code, look in org-R.el.

  • So what is the replacing function ? I'll probably check the .el today. Commented Jan 18, 2016 at 7:27
  • I'm not sure if there's a replacement. ob-R.el doesn't have a similar function. It would be best to peruse org-R.el and copy/adapt the org-R-apply function manually, if possible.

Looking at your tutorial , I have never used the #+R specification.

Recent (>2 years old) org-mode mainly uses code blocks to input several R lines. Add this to your dotemacs:

(org-babel-do-load-languages
 'org-babel-load-languages
 '((R . t)))

Then in an org file C-c C-v C-d and select R to create a R source block. C-c C-c inside the block to evaluate it, C-c <backquote> to edit it with ess.
