Dear R-devel mailing list, I am wondering whether the "theta" and "phi" parameters of the "persp" function in the graphics commands are named in error (the names seem to have been swapped). Also, in the documentation to "persp", reference is made to "colatitude" when the effect in the image is actually that of "latitude". Thank you,

Hello all, I was under the impression that llvm-gcc (and g++) could be used as a standin for plain gcc, without any extra options needed on the command-line. Is this correct? If so, then I'm at a loss why I get the linking errors below when using llvm-gcc compared to a successful gcc build. The multiply defined symbols reported all seem to come from <stdlib.h> Any clues? T...

...names seem to have been > swapped). Not that it is authoritative, but one gleans from wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system ,? that phyicists and mathematicians have exactly opposite conventions for the meaning of theta and phi . In the end, a symbol is just a standin for what it "stands for" so, we just need to follow the persp convention when using persp. :-) > Also, in the documentation to "persp", reference is made to > "colatitude" > when the effect in the image is actually that of "latitude". > > Tha...

An admin cannot secure something he does not understand. Expecting a Unix system to operate flawlessly without reading and understanding the instructions is clearly not the way to go. Shipping a Unix system that starts with no known misconfigurations is a good start, and it's what the best Linux vendors have been trying to do, albeit with limited success. Anything beyond that requires clue on the admin's part. > All t...
