For a variety of displays (mosaicplots, barplots, ...) one often wants to either abbreviate or wrap long labels, particularly when these are made up of several words. In general, it would be nice to have a function, abbreviate.or.wrap <- function(x, maxlength=10, maxlines=2, split=" ") { } that would take a character vector or a list of vectors, x, and try to abbreviate or wrap them to fit approximately the maxlength and maxlines constraints, using the split argument to specify allowable characters to wrap to multiple lines. For example, this two-way tab...

Hi, I've got a question regarding the restructering of a data set. What I have are municipality zip-codes and the names of 5'000 built-up areas within municipalities. The following example shows, what I would like to do: Input (Zip-Codes and Names): # CODE NAME #1 3 aaa #2 3 aab #3 3 aac #4 4 bba #5 4 bbb #6 4

Dear R-help, I think I have kinda isolated the problem I had to the following: i <- 0 while( {i <- i + 1} < 5) { if(i < 3) next print(i) } This seems to go into an infinite loop. After I break the execution, i has the value 1. At the R prompt, if I start from i <- 0 and keep typing {i <- i + 1} < 5, it eventually evaluate to TRUE. So why does the while loop not work?

Dear R-help, I have one more question about the functions mentioned in the subject. Again, the system info is: platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32 (OK, it's NT4sp6) system x86, Win32 status major 1 minor 3.1 year 2001 month 08 day 31 language R

Hi, Without this patch, I get a "remap rules cannot be inverted" error message with any remap rule: --- tftp-hpa-0.40/tftpd/remap.c.old 2005-03-16 16:34:34.000000000 -0500 +++ tftp-hpa-0.40/tftpd/remap.c 2005-03-16 16:22:49.000000000 -0500 @@ -275,6 +275,7 @@ int lineno = 0; int err = 0; + memset(this_rule, '\0', sizeof(struct rule)); while ( lineno++, fgets(line,

When reading a file with scan(), the following crashes R under Solaris and WinNT 4.0 (versions below): > ads <- scan("Bltiadu.dat", what=list(,,)) Would an error message be more logical? Note that the followings work (the data file has 201 lines and 3 columns): > ads <- scan("Bltiadu.dat", what=list(0,,)) Read 603 lines > ads <-

Prof. Gentleman (and R-help), Here's an example of what didn't work. I still don't understand why. Function: trycon <- function(file, n) { f.con <- file(file, open="rt") on.exit(close(f.con)) i <- 0 while( length(readln <- readLines(f.con, 1)) > 0 ) { x <- unlist(strsplit(readln, " ")) if(length(x) <= 6 && x[3] ==

Prof. Tierney, Thanks very much for the info. Why does the loop work if I move the assignment out of the condition? E.g., the following works: i <- 0 while(i < 5) { i <- i + 1 if(i < 3) next print(i) } Regards, Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Luke Tierney [mailto:luke at nokomis.stat.umn.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 3:36 PM > To: Liaw, Andy

Hi guys, I don't mean to incite debate or something, just want to share experience and a little curiosity. Back long time ago, we have an old file MS W2K (NTFS) server where due no admin was available to manage it, the server would get power off when the office closed, and auto power on again in the morning. That thing happened for years and it was fine ^^ Recently, I setup a Centos 5.5 file

Hi, could someone who is close to the Samba development make a comment about the automatic printer drivers features in Samba 2.2.5 I've been trying to get this working unsuccessfully, and have seen many messages posted from people having trouble with this feature. Not sure if this is an unnusual number of people with problems, but it seems like it ( I could be too close to the problem to see
