Functions Not Available in Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R

With each release, Spotfire® Enterprise Runtime for R ( a/k/a TERR™) strives for compatibility with open-source R. In version 6.1, we tested functionality against open-source R version 4.2. At this time, the functions and methods listed in this document are available in open-source R, but are not currently available in TERR™.

The functions are listed alphabetically, according to their packages. The statistics package is further categorized by types of functions.

This table provides information about the numbers of functions implemented in open-source R that are also available in Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R.
Package	Open-source R functions	TERR functions	Percent of open-source R functions implemented in TERR (%)
base	1347	1186	88
datasets	104	104	100
graphics*	88	86	97.7
grDevices*	110	104	94.5
methods	386	103	26.7
stats	455	393	86.4
utils	219	138	63

*Because TERR is included with Spotfire, most of the functions related to directly producing graphics are not supported; however, TERR contains placeholders for many graphics functions for package compatibility purposes.

Note: If you want to use the graphics functions available in R, you can use the RGraph function in the RinR package to generate graphics by passing an expression to open-source R and evaluating it there. You can also use a number of packages that use Javascript and htmlwidgets to create browser-based graphics. For more information, see Graphics in Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R.
