Vectors

Most data items in R are vectors, e.g. integers, reals, characters, etc. inline-r supports constructing and manipulating R vectors entirely in Haskell, without invoking the R interpreter, and using the same API as the de facto standard vector package. Conversely, any data that is stored as an R vector rather than some other vector type can be fed to R functions without any prior conversion or copying. Considering that the memory layout of an R vector is practically as efficient as any other unboxed representation, programs that interact with the R interpreter frequently should consider using R vectors as a representation by default.

Please refer to the Haddock generated documentation of the Data.Vector.SEXP and Data.Vector.SEXP.Mutable modules for a full reference on the vector API supported by inline-r.
