Hi all, I am looking to create a pie chart from a given column in a .csv file. My class variables are as follows: entry_type, uniquekey, types, title, url, abstract, journal, author, month, year, howpublished So say I want to export a pie chart that groups together all entries under 'types' e.g. 3 x statistics 2x education etc. Im looking to have a piechart represent this

I am working a Bibtex database for my school using Rails and I need some idea on how to manage the bibtex types. I crated an Author and Publications model and put has_and_belongs_to_many relationship between them. The user model basically is like this: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :publications end The Publication model has all the Bibtex fields

== Summary == * Problem: BibTeX entries extracted from R packages via citation() require too much manual editing to be of general use. * Proposal: Date: fields should be made mandatory in package DESCRIPTION files, perhaps beginning with warnings from R CMD check * Proposal: Package authors should be encouraged to use a (new) Contributors: field in the DESCRIPTION file rather than packing all

Back in 2010 I raised this issue, and there was some discussion, https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-November/058987.html The goal, then, as now is to have a way to produce a bibtex-clean .bib file (i.e., not requiring manual editing except in unusual circumstances) reflecting installed packages for use in writing where one often needs/wants to cite all packages used in a given

I have two versions of a bibtex database which have gotten badly out of sync. I need to find find all the entries in bib2 which are not contained in bib1, according to their bibtex keys. But I can't figure out how to extract a list of the bibentry keys in these databases. A minor question: Is there someway to prevent read.bib from ignoring entries that do not contain all required fields?

Hello, I'm running R2.10, Eclipse, StatEt and MikTex 2.8 to create Sweave documents, and everything seems to work great, until today... I was trying to add citations from a Bibtex file, but I just got [?] citations. However, if I open the .tex file that StatEt created in MikTex and run the latex+bibtex+pdflatex command, the citations are present. Does anyone know how to either configure

Bug or feature? I get the following error from parse_Rd() when a user Rd macro (including system ones) is invoked with empty argument {}, eg \mymacro{}: Error in tools::parse_Rd(fn) : Value of SET_STRING_ELT() must be a 'CHARSXP' not a 'NULL' A full example is further below with the system macro \CRANpkg{}. In this example it doesn't make sense to use empty argument but

Dear all, Is there an elegant way to add citations of packages when using Sweave? Ideally I'd like a function which creates a Bibtex-file with the packagenames as keys. The idea is to use \cite{packagename} or \cite{R} in LaTeX. I know you can get the Bibtex entry with toBibtex(citation("packagename")). But after updating R or a package one needs to update the bib-file too. When

Hi is there an easy and fast way, to generate a BibTeX file of all installed / loaded packages and R? I know about toBibtex(citation()) to extract the BibTeX for a single package, but how can I generate a file containg citations for all installed / loaded packages?

Dear List, While trying to define a customised CITATION file for a package, following R-exts, I realised that if I use only one 'citEntry' I got both a text description and a BibTex entry for the package, as for the 'nlme' package: -------------------------- citation('nlme') To cite package 'nlme' in publications use: Jose Pinheiro, Douglas Bates, Saikat

While on the topic of Rd macro arguments, it seems that if a multiline argument is supplied, the lines after the first are silently ignored: f <- tempfile() mac6 <- "\\newcommand{\\mac6}{mac6: #1}" cat(mac6, "\\mac6{2*3 2+2 sin(pi) }\n", file = f) rd <- tools::parse_Rd(f) > rd mac6: 2*3 --- Georgi Boshnakov -----Original Message----- From: Tomas Kalibera

Dear all, I was hoping someone may know a way of running texi2dvi while ignoring bibtex errors, or any other work around (such as not running bibtex at all, if possible). The context is that I have an R program that does some calculations and writes a table into various folders, one per country for several countries. I have a latex file that takes the table as an input, and this latex file is

[Using R 2.8.0 / Win XP / ] I just added a CITATION file to the heplots package--- appended below. From the document ion for ?CITATION, there can be *one or more* calls to citEntry() within the CITATION file, and each should produce an object of class "citation". With just a single citEntry(), citation produces the expected output, with BibTeX entry: >

Dear Colleagues, I would like to provide a CITATION file for my package nat.nblast [1]. I have the correct citation in BibTeX format [2]. How can I convert this BibTeX to the format needed by R for a package CITATION file (I have a lot of other packages needing citations ...). I think what I need is the opposite of RefManageR::toBiblatex [3]. This seems like it should be a common need, so I

Dear R-devel, Question: How can I get Sweave to recognize that the \thebibliography section is already created and generate the vignette pdf with a single pass? Or is there a way to let R CMD build know that Sweave needs to be run twice? If (1) is not possible, any suggestions how to auto-generate a crude generic bibtex .bib file from my existing document? Background: I maintain

Hi all, A list of some possible issues: 1. In R 2.11.x, in: http://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-2-11-branch/share/texmf/ there are two files, jss.cls and jss.bst (for JSS), which appear to be new since 2.10.x. These files are not installed when building/installing R. It would appear that they are not included in: https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-2-11-branch/share/Makefile.in The

The bibtex citations provided by citation() do not work all that well in cases where there is no printed document to reference: (1) A version field is needed, as the note field is required for other purposes, currently trying to sort out nuances that cannot be sorted out in the author list (author, compiler, implementor of R version, contributor, ...) and maybe giving a cross-reference to a book

Hello. R-devel, r61697. I am having difficulty interpreting section 1.4 "Writing package vignettes" of the R-exts manual. Specifically, I want to use system.file() in some of my packages to locate a bib file, uncertainty.bib, which is part of the emulator package. I only want to maintain a single .bib file. R-exts says: "All other files needed to re-make the vignette PDFs (such

Hi Duncan, Thanks for your reply. Yes, it does seem to be specific to the CTYPE setting to Chinese on Windows. If I set it to English using Sys.setlocale() there is no problem, then back to Chinese and the authors disappear: Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","English") citation("readr") #' To cite package ?readr? in publications use: #' #' Hadley Wickham, Jim
