spsspkg.SetOutput Function (R)

spsspkg.SetOutput("value"). Specifies whether output from R is displayed in the IBM® SPSS® Statistics Viewer. This applies to explicit output from R, such as from the print function. It also applies to graphical output, such as from the R plot function. The value of the argument is a quoted string: "ON" to display output from R, "OFF" to suppress the display of output from R. The default is "ON".

  • The setting persists for the current IBM SPSS Statistics session.
  • It is important to note the interaction of the spsspkg.SetOutput function and the spssRGraphics.SetOutput function. With spsspkg.SetOutput("ON") you can turn off display of graphics with spssRGraphics.SetOutput("OFF"). spsspkg.SetOutput("OFF"), however, applies to all output and overrides spssRGraphics.SetOutput("ON").
  • The spsspkg.SetOutput function has no effect when running IBM SPSS Statistics from R.
