Forgive me, but since it's Friday and I've been thinking about command line options lately, I thought I'd find out who came up with the name of the --vanilla argument for R.

hi how about having more cubes to fly around in 3d space. though at first thought this might appear unessacary as who needs so many desktops? So i thought, why not have special cubes (as well as the original cube of course) and these special cubes, instead of cubes, be 3d metaphric objects for specific tasks such as a radio, or ipod or whatever for music a cinema for movies arcade thingo for

There is a solution to use helpers from controllers ? I have an error : |undefined method `content_tag''| class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base def test return content_tag("a","test") end end

The tool metaphor is realistic. In my experience (which dates back to the

Dear Jarkko, Thank you for spotting these problems and suggesting fixes for them! I am forwarding your e-mail to the R-devel mailing list (removing the R-help list, which is for different kind of R problems), together with a patch implementing your suggested changes. ?

I am trying to teach my models how to render themselves, i.e. <%= my_model_object.render() %> Let me explain my reasoning and proposed method before this gets shot down as anti-MVC. Let''s say I am writing a contact-management application. I have a class Contact. I will need to display this class all over the application. My first choice is to use a partial. Now I can

Hey all!! Sorry about the crosspost but this invoves CUPS and Samba issues. [Samba 2.2.8 / CUPS 1.1.8 / Redhat 7.2 std] I have encountered a small problem (which is due to my own slipup more than anything else). I have "Windows 2000" versions of the Adobe postscript drivers installed on many of my 2000 machines. Now I am wanting to use the CUPS drivers which are "Windows 2000 or

Dear R-community, I'm currently trying to assemble a forest plot using the "forest" function from package "metaphor". Works well. Even the regular "main"-argument works for adding a title to the graph. However, I would like to add one top row which explains the nature of the columns. Very much like the usual header in spreadsheet programs. For example:

...d a real power failure 2 days ago and tried to be more observant. What had gotten my attention earlier is that the once-familiar banner displayed on about everything except my room's ceiling was missing. After some red herrings and blind alleys (hey, you don't have to worry about mixed metaphors when you're an illiterate old coot!) I decided that the missing banners and the fact that the power was killed while a graphical page was displayed was what I saw. Anyhow, it seems that these extinct banners were a function of the /bin/shutdown routine in SysVinit because banners happen in...

While using DTrace to track down a problem recently, we came across an unexpected restriction: the compiler will not permit different speculations to be committed in the same instance of a probe identifier. For instance, consider the following useless D script: #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s #pragma D option nspec=2 BEGIN { spec1 = speculation(); spec2 = speculation(); } END {

Dear useRs, by a circular diagram representation I mean what you will get by entering this at your R promt: pie(1:5) Nice to have R as a lingua franca :-) The folowing quote is from page 360 in this very interesting paper: @article{SpenceI2005, title = {No Humble Pie: The Origins and Usage of a Statistical Chart}, author = {Spence, I.}, journal = {Journal of Educational and

Hello, I'm hoping someone with a wide experience with R may be able to see what the program is trying to tell me. I've got an array: y1=rnorm(41,0.2) y2=rnorm(41,0.2) y3=rbind(y1,y2) data11<-array(0,c(41,2,2)) data11[,1,]=y3 data11[,2,]=y3 rownames(data11)<-rownames(data11, do.NULL = FALSE, prefix = "Obs.") colnames=c("V","R")

First of all, just wanted to say big thanks for all the great work on wxruby2 .. I''ve been a user of 0.6 for a long time and its proved very useful over the years. It''s great to finally have a multi-platform, gem installable ui toolkit that doesn''t suck! Secondly, thanks also for wx-sugar. I was drowning in sizers and started to write my own layout library ... but

Dear R community, I am a beginner using the sciplot package to graph barplots. I would like to be able to graph two x factors (Sampling.year and Period). Sampling.year: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Period: First, Second, Total The parameter "group" is the different species I looked at. They can be seen in the legend. The parameter "response" is the Average percentage

Hello, For an internal project we were looking for a solution which extends ActiveRecord by an iterator function. Using find(:all) is no fun if you have to process some 10.000 records. Until now there have been two ways of dealing with that scenario: - write your logic a second times (e.g. use stored procedure) - bet on AR plugins which work around that limitation by fetching IDs and

Dear R guru's, I'd like to sort the columns of a matrix according to the elements in the first row, and in case of a tie according to the second row, etc. In case of a 3xn matrix woppa, something like colorder _ order(woppa[1,], woppa[2,], woppa[3,]) I just cannot seem to find a way to do this for a variable number of rows, e.g. if woppa has 10 or 15 rows I now manually cut and paste to
