Hi all, I just stumbled across the difference between explicit and 'automatic' row names for data frames. Is there a quick way to find out if a data frame has automatic row names or not? Of course I know this for data frames that I create myself, but what if a function needs to extract this information for an argument? The following example shows that this property is not easily

Hi all, I stumbled across the following, in my opinion surprising, behaviour of read.table: > data <- read.table(stdin(), sep=",") 0: 1, 2, 3 # Some comment 1: > sapply(data, class) V1 V2 V3 "integer" "integer" "numeric" I was surprised to find that V3 has class "numeric" despite its apparent integer value. I

Hi all, I've run into the following problem with Sweave: I frequently run Sweave from a xterm console within an X session owned by a different user, i.e. my colleague is logged in on this computer and I do "su" with my username and start R and Sweave afterwards. Now, when Sweave comes to a figure chunk, it sees that there is an X server running and tries to show whatever I plot

Dear all, I am searching for a possibility to view large data sets (e.g. stored in ffdf objects) in a GUI window in a memory-efficient way. So far I looked at gtkDfEdit (package RGtk2Extras) and gdf (package gWidgets). Both operate (as far as I can see) on data frames stored in memory. gtkDfEdit accepts an ff data frame as input, but there is a long delay before it shows up, so I presume the

Dear list members, I have defined a binary operator %append% with methods for some S4 classes. In my documentation file, I want to list the methods explicitly by using e.g.: \S4method{\%append\%}{RecLinkData,RecLinkData}(x, y) In the HTML documentation this comes out right as ## S4 method for signature 'RecLinkResult,RecLinkResult' x %append% y , but R CMD check

Dear R-devel members, I would like to compile a package with two seperate shared libraries. For example, in a package 'foo', a file 'bar.so' built from a distinct set of source files should be installed in addition to the default 'foo.so' (or .dll on windows). Does anyone know about a way to achieve this without having a custom Makefile, e.g. via 'Makevars'?

Hi all, I am posting this again because I got no reply on r-help. Maybe the devel-list is the right place for this kind of question. I've run into the following problem with Sweave: I frequently run Sweave from a xterm console within an X session owned by a different user, i.e. my colleague is logged in on this computer and I do "su" with my username and start R and Sweave

Hi all, I have a function which makes use of missing() to determine which arguments are provided in the call - basically, there are two sets of arguments that map to different strategies the function uses to fulfill its task. After conversion to an S4 generic I've run into the problem that if a method uses extra arguments that are not in the signature of the generic, usage of missing()

Hi all, I use txtProgressBar to monitor progress of large computations. What I miss is the ability to redirect the progress bar to a stream other than stdout, specifically to the message stream. This would be useful for running Sweave scripts: When redirected to stderr, the bar could be visible even though console output is diverted to the output file (and there would be no cluttering of the
