...bout building packages for windows (e.g. mypkg.zip) seem to imply that the build be done on a windows machine. Is there a simple way to make mypkg.zip under linux and then install it as a zip file on a windows machine?

...pos=c(0,90,180,270)*pi/180) I have attatched the polar.plot function from the two different versions of the package.

...commandline a <-"??" works ok, but print(a) or just: a returns the octal number. However, when using THORN in plotlabels it works fine.

...uld find it in R I could make good use of it. In R both Sys.getlocale() and localeToCharset() can tell me which charset I am using, but I haven't found a way to print out the actual characters.

..., but I suspect there may be a faster and more elegant way to do this in R. In Python (Numeric) the same can be achieved with ix=Numeric.searchsorted(X[1:-1],Xi), which is quite compact. So, does anyone know of a corresponding R call that can achive the same? Sincerely, Halldór -- Halldór Björnsson Deildarstj.

Some years ago I wrote a plotting routine that was run on both Linux & Windows computers. There were some differences in the way the plot looked from the windows device and the X11 device. To ensure consistency I used getOption("device")) and made some changes to the plotting if the windows device was being used. Using this routine again, years later, I now notice that

Hi, I have three matrices (X,Y,P) with the same dimension. The X,Y grid is regular and I want to perform linear interpolation to pick out certain points. In matlab appropriate call is something like Pout=interp2(X,Y,P,Xout,Yout, method="linear") where Xout and Yout are the locations where I want the Pout data (typically a different grid). (Scipy has this routine in

...0&STNM=04018",skip=10,nrows=97) If I set nrows=98 I run into the trailing section. >From day to day the table length changes. Is there a way to get read.table to always read in the correct length and just stop when it hits the trailing section?

...n redhat. Are there any specific rpms that need to be included before I can compile R so it includes X I understand that Mandrake 10.1 uses Xorg instead of XFree86, but am under the impression that these are compatible.

I am trying to plot a image where the x axis has the units of time. When I issue the image(x,y,z) command with x as a POSIXct object, it fails to put a time stamp on the x axis. Instead I get a warning "Incompatible methods" warning and no dates on my x axis. This example shows my problem: Rmat=t(matrix(data=rnorm(1:500),ncol=10,nrow=50)) tax=seq(ISOdate(2010,4,14,12,0,0),

Dear All, The institute I work for is organizing an internal workshop for High Performance Computing (HPC). I am planning to attend it and talk a bit about fluid dynamics, but there is also quite a lot of interest devoted to data post-processing and management of huge data sets. A lot of people are interested in image processing/pattern recognition and statistic applied to geography/ecology, but I
