A little while ago here we had a short discussion about Task Views - I think ignited by someone saying 'how many times do I have to say "have you read the Optimisation Task View?"?' and I poured some fuel on that fire by saying "Task Views" was a stupid name. Anyway, I did say that Task Views were rather brilliant, but were let down by their hidden position on the R

In response to an earlier discussion about finding the fastest/best/nearest CRAN site, I geocoded (using my geonames package) the locations of the CRAN sites returned by getCRANmirrors. I've mapped them here: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/R/Cranography/ The geocoding may have got it wrong, so if CRAN site maintainers want to send me a real lat-long (in WGS 84 aka EPSG:4326) I'll

Hi, I'll try to keep this as brief, yet descriptive enough to save everyone some time. If I'm off with this one please forgive me, but it has fixed my issues. I am not sure whether it is just my compiler (gcc 3.3.5) doing the wrong thing with the cast.

Dear users, 1. Is there a way to create a movie file to play a sequence of single frames (e.g. plots) at a specified time delay between frames? 2. If making a movie file is not possible, then how can I incorporate in a loop some delay between the frames to be plotted so I can change the playing speed? Sorry if this questions was already in the forum, but I couldn?t find it. Thanks in advance

Back in the days of R 2.6, if you did this, you got this: > z=function(x){x*2} > z() Error in z() : argument "x" is missing, with no default But now in this decade we get (for R 2.9 and 2.10): > z=function(x){x*2} > z() Error in z() : element 1 is empty; the part of the args list of '*' being evaluated was: (x, 2) Now I can see (after thinking about it)

Hi. I'm running a RH 9 machine with Samba 3.0.0 as a domain member of a Win2003 ADS domain. I've setup samba w/ winbind and added a test share on the Linux box. I can see and access Windows shares from my Linux box, but I cannot access the Linux share from a Win2k machine. I can see the Linux machine and the just fine when browsing the network, but when I attempt to access the share I

To represent a turtle inside a canvas (tcltk package), I have a serie of bitmaps representing the turtle heading in different directions and I would like to display the one that corresponds to the current direction of the turtle (function below). I have created with Paint a bitmap representing the turtle in BMP format and succeeded displaying it on canvas after converting it into XBM format

After accusing someone of typing 'install.packages("weather")' instead of 'install.packages("webmaps")', I discovered that R-forge really is currently returning the wrong source tarball for packages after 'Repitools' in the alphabet. The data returned from available.package in install.packages goes out of sync at 'Repitools': RemoteREngine

Anybody have an idea why I would get a non-integer value for the number of days here? > difftime('2004-08-05','2001-01-03',units='days') Time difference of 1309.958 days Would you just round off? Best, Jon

Dear All, I am wondering is there any shift (or pop or push or unshift) equivalent in R? For example, shift(x) # should return x[1], and x becomes x[-1] Thanks a lot. Best Regards, Xie Chao

Hi All, I'm new to wine and have it running on my machine (I can play solitaire). I would like to use it to run word under Linux but I'm having a bit of a problem with that program. I'm running Debian (testing) and accessing my Windows partition (w2k) which is mounted read only. The Word that I am running is part of the Office 2000 suite. At the bash prompt I enter:

Hello R users, I would like to generate "slanted" stacked bar graphs like those on the bottom of pages 1 and 2 in this document: http://www.wssinfo.org/fileadmin/user_upload/resources/JMP-Snapshot-SWA-HLM.pdf . I've also attached the file to this email (pdf). Does anyone know if this is possible in R? I have tried googling and searching the R help archives, and it seems like ggplot2

R Developers, I cannot seem to find an R package that can read/write iCalendar (RFC2445) files. I have found the libical library at sourceforge. I've used it briefly so it may be what I need, but again no R interface. I may have to connect the dots myself. I'm guessing this might be useful for someone other than myself (scrubbing files, performing temporal analysis on events, etc).

Hello, I would like to organize the "R" directory in my home-grown package into sub-directories, but "R CMD --build" doesn't seem to find *.R files below the actual source directory. Is there any way around that? Thanks, Joh
