<> Hello One sometimes (quite often really ) marvel at the choice of defaults in R's graphic engine. For some obscure reason, mtext uses the typographical descender (bottom of letters) to align text. That is: "gG" will end up slightly higher that "GG". Depending on the font, "Q" might end up higher than "O". (for explanation of baseline & descender see: http://www.paratype.com/help/term/terms.asp?code=88) Exam...

Hello all, Does anyone know how to make R graph the x-axis in descending order? I am all set in creating a vertical bar chart using either the plot or the xychart (in lattice), but I need the x-axis in descending order. I have tried resorting the data but apparently R automatically graphs the x-axis in ascending order. I have multiplied the data used for the x-axis b...

Hi R users: I want to know how can I easily sort in descending order a whole data frame by one or several variables. Thank you very much for your help.

Dear All, Is there any simple way to way to produce "rank", for a given list, but in a descending order? E.G: x = list(a=c(1,5,2,4)); rank(x$a); produces 1,4,2,3 However I am looking for a way to generate (4,1,3,2). It would be particularly nice if the proposed solution has all the niceties of rank function (like NA handling and ties.method functionality) TIA Manoj

Hi, Is there any simple solution to get ranks in descending order? Example, a <- c(10, 98, 98, 98, 99, 100) r <- rank(a, ties.method="average") produces 1 3 3 3 5 6 I would want this instead: 6 5 3 3 3 1 Note that reversing r doesn't work but in small examples.

i have 300 millions records and my search file like this , i want the newest 10 results that match my query , so i use boolean search and "enquire.set_docid_order(enquire.DESCENDING)" , but this method seems a little slow . when i remove "enquire.set_docid_order(enquire.DESCENDING)" it run much faster . how can i fetch the newest 10 results as fast as possible? search.py #-*- coding: utf-8 -*- import xapian import sys,time t1 = time.time() db_path = s...

What is the intended implementation of "don't descend". a) treat all files that are in the "don't descend hierarchy as "no such file" (or equivelent) or b) disable opendir() on "don't descent directories", but allow (for example) stats on files that are in the "don't descend directories" I...

Hello All, I have two questions related to "zfs snapshot -r" 1. When "zfs snapshot -r tank at today" command is issued, does it creates snapshots for all the descendent file systems at the same moment? I mean to say if the command is issued at 10:20:35 PM, does the creation time of all the snapshots for descendent file systems are same? 2. Say, tank has around 5000 descendent file systems and "zfs snapshot -r tank at today" takes around 10 seconds to...

Hi, In the order() help file, there is an example like: a <- c(4, 3, 2, NA, 1) b <- c(4, NA, 2, 7, 1) z <- cbind(a, b) (o <- order(a, b)); z[o, ] How can I do something like "order a in ascending order, b in descending order"? And say I have a third vector c, and I'd like to add this to the previous condition "a ascending, b descending, c descending". How can I do this? Thanks, Ko-Kang Wang ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ko-Kang Kevin Wang...

When writing generic functions, should "..." arguments be routinely used? The Writing R Extensions manual says that if it is used, all descendant methods must use it too. In most cases in the R library source, the generic has the dots, often documented as parameters for the descendants (e.g. profile does this). In the case of profile, the descendants declare the dots, but don't make use of them. Duncan Murdoch -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-....

How can I paginate a set of fields in descending order based on their created_on date? For example, in a blog app, you want the very first entry on the first page to be the most recent. I see that paginate has an :order parameter, but I don''t see any way of changing the direction of the order. Thanks, Jeff Coleman -- Posted vi...

Hi! I've noticed that an "rsync -avx . host:/test" tries to descend into a FUSE filesystem (on the origin/sending side). This is at least true when the FUSE is mounted by somebody else. I came accross this while my nightly backup choked on this with "Permission denied" at the mount point. FUSE is a mount subsystem in Linux that enables userspace filesys...

...alls many other user-written functions that are also in myfunctions.R. I only want to debug the R scripts. I do not need to get into the code of R itself. I would like to be able to: - see the source as I am debugging - execute line-by-line - see and modify variables - have the option to either descend into function calls, or not - have the option to either descend into loops, or not Maybe this is asking too much but I thought I would lay out my dreams and then you can tell me what is really possible.
