emulink {emu}R Documentation

Establishs the link to an Emu installation

Description

Without argument emulink() tries to read a configuration file and tries to find the necessary package in the stored directory paths. If this fails it tries to link against default directories. If this fails, the user is asked to enter the path. With paths argument the first two steps are ignored.

Usage

emulink(paths = "")

Arguments

paths The directories seperated by ";" in which Emu libraries and tcllib >= 1.8 are installed on the system. Without paths argument link is established with default configurations.

Details

The paths are added to the tcl auto_path variable to make the emuR library available that is part of the Emu Speech Database System http://www.emu.sf.net.

Value

After success the file path is returned where this configuration was written to.

Note

Use emulink() without paths argument first. It is not necessary to link an Emu installation to this libary. You can use all functions of the library but emu.query, emu.requery and emu.track. The functionality of emu.query and emu.track function is provided by the Emu Speech Database System http://www.emu.sf.net also. Thus export the respective files from the software and import it to R using read.emusegs or read.trackdata respectively.
