Hi From the R for OS X FAQ page: (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html ) 4.4.6 Editor (internal and external): "Using AppleScript it is easy to implement Command-E and Command-Return like functionality." How? Regards, Gregor.

Does the Mac version of R include tcltk? There is a section in the R Mac FAQ: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#TclTk-issues about tcltk issues on R for Mac but its not clear to me from this whether tcltk is or is not included and I don't have a Mac to try it out.

...f the following decision: === ... Starting with R 2.3.0, CRAN binaries support Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and higher only. === Of course, === It is, however, possible to compile binaries for earlied OS X versions from sources. === But the process, described on http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Building-R-from-sources consists of more than 9 steps and is much more complex than installing R for Linux. And I think that most Mac users (like their Windows colleagues) cannot compile any application from source... Even worse, I also suspect (there is no information, actually) that fro...

...rtunately saving it as pdf (or quartz.save at high resolution) all generate very disturbing border lines around each small rectangle that image() has drawn. While using Preview it helps to turn off antialiasing to make those faint lines disappear on screen (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Why-are-there-faint-lines-in-image-plots_003f). However, they are far from faint on pdf (Adobe Reader v9.1.3, regardless of settings) or any other high resolution rendering (printer) and do not disappear, whatever I do. What I encounter is also in quite sharp contrast with all I read o...

On point 1): The standard approach seems to favor the reference BLAS for reasons other than speed. For example, vecLib, Apple's multi-threaded BLAS library, is not the default choice for macOS binaries due to concerns about 'precision'. See: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Whic h-BLAS-is-used-and-how-can-it-be-changed_003f This doesn't appear to be Mac- or vecLib-specifc. R-Core seem wary of non-reference BLAS implementations for several reasons: 'External BLAS implementations often make less use of extended-precision floating-point registers and w...

Hi all, Is there a function to open a script file from the command line? I have several students who are Mac users and when they open up a script file it does not send commands to the console, and unfortunately I don't know how to solve this problem since I am not a Mac user. I have looked over the FAQ for Mac users, but didn't see a reference to the problem. I think they are both

Hello, I am trying to compile R-2.9.1 on Mac OS-X 10.4 using --enable-R-shlib. I am not comfortable with Mac/Linux environments and trying to follow the instructions from CRAN site to every detail. The Mac OS did not have a gcc (gcc -version did not work). So I did the following: ## For gcc 4.2 and Fortran 4.2.4 Compilers Download gcc-4.2-5566-darwin8-all.tar.gz from

...ng the x-axis to be drawn off-screen, "below" the bottom of the Quartz window. When resizing the window, the Quartz windows' size and the particular plots' size are matched and only after doing that you can see the entire graphics properly. In http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Sparse-questions, point 12.8, it is explained that Quartz plots are much bigger now because "all devices in R have a default size of 7 inches. Quartz used a default of 5 inches and that was now changed to match all other devices." However, the above bug shows this hasn't been...

Hi, I'm having problems opening R on MAC OSX. It was working fine, then I tried using the fix() command on one of my data sources. R froze, so I re-started it. R would not open, the icon kept bouncing in the dock. I have tried reinstalling the program, but every time the installer says it is "updating" instead of installing - I'm not sure how to completely erase R from

I'm confused because question 1.3 of the RMacOSX-FAQ says: "Note that the CRAN binary includes R shared library, so there is no need to re-compile R with --enable-R-shlib. " I also note that when installing RSPerl with the binary distribution of R, the R CMD INSTALL process does not generate the perl modules (in the RSPerl/perl dir...
