Hi We are about to publish a book, which contains figures made with R plots. An important detail that we did not take into account is that the book will not be printed in 4 colors (cmyk mode), but only 2 (black +"spotcolor"). The spotcolor we use is part of the big Pantone family. The problem is that both pdf() and postscript() offer either rgb or cmyk, but no spotcolors such as

Finally the solution I found is to source() every file until I find the file where the problem is... Is there some better way to do it? With a debuger? thanks a lot! Matthieu Stigler

Hi Folks, Apologies to anyone who'd prefer not to see this query on this list; but I'm asking because it is probably the forum where I'm most likely to get a good answer! I'm interested in the provenance of the name "normal distribution" (for what I'd really prefer to call the "Gaussian" distribution). According to Wikipedia, "The name "normal

Hi, Was wondering if it is possible to pass function name as a parameter, smth along this line param.to.pass<-c(1,'max','h') dd<-function(dfd, param=param.to.pass,...){ ttime.int <- format(ttime,fmt) data.frame( param[3] = tapply(dfd[,param[1]],ttime.int,param[3]), ...) } I know there is a as.formula expression but not quite sure if there is some

Hi I have within a quite big function foo1, an internal function foo2. Now, in order to have a cleaner code, I wish to have the internal foo2 as "external". This foo2 was using arguments within the foo1 environment that were not declared as inputs of foo2, which works as long as foo2 is within foo1, but not anymore if foo2 is external, as is the case now. Now, I could add all those

Dear all, I'm trying to plot, in the same window, two different series, using barplot() for the first one and plot() for the second. What happens is that the second chart has a different axes origin, therefore the final plot is wrong. This piece of code shows the differences between the values of par()$usr: barplot(coredata(Z0), beside=TRUE, ylim=c(0,100)); par()$usr;

Hello I think there is a conflict between setwd() and \SweaveOpts{prefix.string=}. In the same document, those both command get Sweave confuse the files and directories. See: say my .Rnw document is in File1 If one inserts some setwd() for another file: -setwd(File2) then the command \SweaveOpts{prefix.string=graphics/Rplots} will search the "graphics" folder in File2 because of
