Craig Shepherd has just contributedUsing the R Custom Script Component in Pipeline Pilotto the ScienceCloud Exchange.

This protocol demonstrates various aspects of using the R Custom Script component in your own Pipeline Pilot workflows, including:

• Incorporating an R package available on CRAN. This includes packages not shipped with Pipeline Pilot. In particular, this protocol uses the popular ggplot2 graphics package.
• Including your own existing R scripts to provide functions, etc. in accordance with your own business logic.
• The use of string token replacement within the Script parameter of the component to utilize the values of Pipeline Pilot globals and/or component parameters in the R script.
• Capturing graphics created by your script and using downstream reporting components to display the results.

Extensive documentation is included in the protocol via sticky notes and comments within the script in the Script parameter of the R Custom Script component.
