# Using GraphTerm with R

To display inline graphics, the following `R` packages need to be installed: `RCurl`, `Cairo`, and `png`. On Linux, the following additional libraries, or their equivalents, may need to be installed: `libcurl4-openssl-dev libcairo2-dev libxt-dev` The file $GTERM_DIR/bin/gterm.R includes helper functions for using the GraphTerm API to display inline graphics.

The notebook mode of GraphTerm will work with `R`, without any additional software. GraphTerm can open Markdown files (in a format very similar to R-markdown) as a notebook, and also saves notebooks using the same format. The file $GTERM_DIR/notebooks/R-histogram.R.md contains a sample notebook displaying inline graphics. To open the notebook, click on it in the `gls` output, or use the notebook/open menu option after starting `R`.
