R language is the GNU arm of S language, which has taken the computational world by
storm in the last decade. Starting as a compendium of statistical tools, this language has
grown up into a canopy lording over a research analysis environment thereby subsuming
many hitherto complicated manoeuvres onto the realms of syntactical simplicity. As this an
exponentially expanding field of development with ever exploding information downpour,
it would be a near impossible task to frame it onto a short simple foundational discourse.
However in the subsequent sections we would try to view the potential and the extent of
practicality we would unravel the hidden features of the software through a GUI envelop
also apart from the regular console and syntax based one. To get its power more
understandable we would visualize its forays into the field of analytics using medium scale
examples from marine fisheries data
