Description

With an R script one can specify the ##name=output vector or ##name=output raster parameters.
It would be nice to have a table (as csv file) in the map canvas with the ##name=output table parameter too.

Yes, you can specify table as output, but no csv (or other table file format) appear in the legend. With the following short script the tab file is not created:

##Point pattern analysis=group
##Layer=vector
##X=Field Layer
##tab= output table
M<-mean(LayerX)
SD<-sd(LayerX)
tab<-data.frame(M, SD)

But if you try

##Point pattern analysis=group
##Layer=vector
##X=Field Layer
M<-mean(LayerX)
SD<-sd(LayerX)
tab<-data.frame(M, SD)

tab

you can display the (correctly) result in the Result viewer.

Alexander, OutputTable is available but doesn't work.

This is a duplicate of #8919

There are plenty of ways of creating .csv or .txt from within the R environment. I believe I spoke with Victor Olaya about this in the past.

Sorry, I don't think it is a duplicate issue. Anyway, I think that the piece of code is here:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/plugins/processing/algs/r/RAlgorithm.py#L264

as you can see, there are output defined if the output is set to raster and vector, but not for tables.

Some providers are being removed from QGIS/Processing (will be available as plugin) and so are their categories in the bug tracker. To not leave them orphaned of a category they are being reassigned to processing/core.
