ViewR: Interactive Data Viewer, Filter, and Editor

Provides a feature-rich, popup-based interactive interface for viewing, exploring, filtering, sorting, editing, analysing, and plotting R data frames. Key features include: a searchable, paginated data table with drag-and-drop column reordering and variable-label 'tooltips'; multi-condition filters (AND/OR) with live preview; multi-column sorting; column visibility management with search; an Excel-like cell editor powered by 'rhandsontable'; find-and-replace across one or all columns (literal or regex) with automatic live preview; a Plots tab with auto-detected histograms and bar charts for every column; automatic 'dplyr' code generation reflecting every operation performed in the 'UI'; one-click CSV export; and a Variable Info tab with type, missing values, and summary statistics. The entire interface is launched with a single call to ViewR() and works as a popup dialog, in the 'RStudio' Viewer pane, or in the system browser.
