Hi, when using the grid package, I've come across this weird behaviour where a call to plot.new() will start a new page for a multi-page pdf, but then the margins will somehow behave strangely for all but the first page: here is some code: pdf("test.pdf"); plot.new(); grid.rect(gp = gpar(fill="blue")); plot.new(); grid.rect(gp = gpar(fill="blue")); dev.off()

...iveBayes function, you currently do: L <- exp(L) L / sum(L) # this is what is returned you can instead use sapply(L, function(lp) {1 / sum(exp(L - lp))}) the above comes from the following equality: x / (x + y + z) = 1 / (1 + exp(log(y) - log(x)) + exp(log(z) - log(x))) Best wishes, /Ali Tofigh

I'm using R under Linux. Since the help function in R can use the program less to display text, I'd like to know if it is possible for a user to do the same. It would be very helpful to be able to view large objects (matrices/dataframes etc) using less. This is preferable to redirecting output to file or to clutter the workspace with too much output. I have tried to use functions pipe and

This has been asked before, but I just cannot figure out why lapply should behave this way given that R uses lazy evalution. Even after reading (or at least trying to read) parts of the R language definition. > f <- function(x) {function() {x}} > a <- list(f(1), f(2), f(3)) > a[[1]]() # as expected [1] 1 > a[[2]]() # as expected [1] 2 > a[[3]]() # as expected [1] 3 > b
