Dear listers,
I have written a function to facilitate the drawing of altitude profiles
with x (distance), y (altitude) and a z parameter (altitude magnification).
profplot<-function(x,y,z=10,...){
op <- par()$mai
par(mai=c(0.95625,0.76875,0.76875,0.95625))
plot(x,y*z,
type="l",asp=1,las=1,xlab="",ylab="",yaxt="n",...)
axis(2,labels=axTicks(2)/z,las=1)
axis(4,labels=axTicks(2)/z,las=1)
on.exit(par(mai=op))
}
This worked apparently well until I had to resize the graphical window
after plotting. In this case, I get this message:
> profplot(prof$dist,prof$alt,col="blue")
> Erreur : les longueurs de 'at' et de 'label' diff??rent, 7
!= 8
Which means Error: length of 'at' and "label' differ, 7!=8
(whish R
2.1.1 could be parametrise 'English' even with a French Windows XP!!!!)
At this stage, R crashes (= I cannot get the graphic window
working/resized and must interrupt the process from Windows XP, then
restart R for good work with the graphical window).
The error occur with the difference between the tick number computed
from plot() and the one computed with axTicks(). If still equal (slight
resizing) everything goes smoothly.
Thanks for any comments, even rude... (I am not sure the
problem/programme has been tackled relevantly enough)

Just add LANGUAGE=en to the shortcut.> At this stage, R crashes (= I cannot get the graphic window > working/resized and must interrupt the process from Windows XP, then > restart R for good work with the graphical window). > > The error occur with the difference between the tick number computed > from plot() and the one computed with axTicks().

When re-drawing, 'at' is recomputed, but your specification of 'labels' is not. I suspect you can just do dev.off() and open a new graphics window.> Thanks for any comments, even rude...

Another way is to create a file called Renviron.site with the following single line: LANGUAGE=en and put it in your ...\R\rw2011\etc folder. In your case, echo LANGUAGE=en > c:\R\rw2011\etc\Renviron.site would do it. This would result in R being in English not only if you (1) used the shortcut but also if you (2) used the command line to start R or if you (3) used Start > Programs > R >, rw2011 .
