Hello, A post to R-Help by Oliver Soong reports what seems to be a bug specific to Windows (I'm on Windows 7). The original post is as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------- from: Oliver Soong <osoong+r at gmail.com> to: r-help <r-help at r-project.org> date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 22:07:49 -0800 subject: [R] file.link fails on NTFS Windows 7 64-bit, R 2.15.2 i386. Working directory is on an NTFS drive. > writeLines("", "file.txt") > file.link("file.txt",...

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

Hi, I have a question about the graphics changes in 2.7.0. The example is this bit of code: par(mfcol = c(2, 3)) for(i in 1:6) plot(1:10, 1:10, xlab = "xlab", ylab = "ylab", main = "main") In 2.7.0, if I do this interactively (using windows()), I get bold titles. If I do this through a png device, I get regular weight titles. If I do this in 2.6.2, both

Can somebody confirm some unexpected behavior? This is under Windows, with R 2.11.0 and 2.11.1. 1. Create a trivial test file (I called it test.R) containing: cat("Success.\n") 2. Load R (Gui or Term) and run: shell("\"C:\\path\\to\\Rscript.exe\" \"C:\\path\\to\\test.R\"") In my case, I get various error messages. If the path\\to\\Rscript.exe has spaces

I'm having some confusion over the coordinate system after using pairs. I'm not interested in the content of the actual pairs plot, although the number of pairs seems to matter a bit. I'm purely interested in knowing where my points will be plotted on the device. However, after using pairs, the par information (omd, fig, plt, and usr) don't reflect what points does. For example:

Windows 7 64-bit, R 2.15.2 i386. Working directory is on an NTFS drive. > writeLines("", "file.txt") > file.link("file.txt", "link.txt") Warning in file.link("file.txt", "link.txt") : cannot link 'link.txt' to 'link.txt', reason 'The system cannot find the file specified' No link is created. The

I'm having a very odd problem with system(wait = FALSE). I'm not entirely sure whether it's a bug in R or a problem on our end. It's related to a post a month or so ago in R-help which got no responses, but I have a little more to add. This command works as expected (I use c:\tmp since c:\ isn't normally writable under later versions of Windows). The file is created at

Hi, I posted over at R-help, and didn't get a response, but perhaps that was the wrong forum for this question. I'm having some confusion over the coordinate system after using pairs. I'm not interested in the content of the actual pairs plot, although the number of pairs seems to matter a bit. I'm purely interested in knowing where subsequent points will be plotted on the
