What is Tinn-R?
Tinn-R is a Windows text editor and graphical interface for the R language. It lets you write a script and send a file, selected text, a block or individual lines to the R interpreter. Its object explorer provides selection and filtering, while syntax highlighting, macros and customizable snippets support editing work.
For reproducible documents, the publisher lists RNOWEB support with Knitr and Sweave, alongside basic LaTeX support. The download linked here is the publisher's 9.00.05.01 Windows setup EXE; the publisher also offers a separate portable ZIP. The screenshot illustrates the editor and Rterm interface, but its exact application version is not identified.
Before using this release as an R GUI/IDE, install the rlang package in R: the publisher warns that the svSocket/svMisc dependency chain will otherwise prevent the integration from working as intended. Licensing also needs attention. Although the About page describes the project as GPL/open source, the current License page specifies a requested 30-day trial, paid annual licenses and a free educational license that must be requested and renewed annually. Do not assume the downloadable binary provides unrestricted free use.
What it offers
- Send a file, selection, block or line of code to the R interpreter.
- Browse R objects with selection and filtering in the object explorer.
- Edit with syntax highlighting, macros and customizable XML-based snippets.
- Work with RNOWEB documents using Knitr or Sweave and basic LaTeX support.

Good to know
- R integration requires the rlang package to be installed beforehand, according to the release notes.
- The publisher's License page requires a requested trial or annual license; the free educational license also needs annual renewal. Its GPL/open-source About description does not clarify these binary licensing requirements.
