similar to: export graphics for editing in Illustrator

Dear R users, I've just posted a similar question about Illustrator. This time I would like to export the results of my statistic tables and my dataframes into Excel files. Up to now I've used write.csv(), but I have to resave every file in .xls in Excel. I would like to know if there is a function or package to export directly into *.xls. I have found xlsReadWrite which would be

Hello everyone, I have versions 2.7.2 and 2.10.1 installed on a machine that has no access to internet. In 2.7.2 I can use ? to get help on functions, which in 2.10.1 that does not work, all I see is "starting httpd help server...done" and then nothing. Have I downloaded 2.10.1 incorrectly (=forgot to tick some box for local help file repository) or is the internet help now the

Hi everybody! To use some functions, I have to transform my dataset into a list, where each element contains one group, and I have to prepare a list for each variable I have (altogether I have 15 variables, and many entries per factor level) Here is some part of my dataset: SPECSHOR BONE Asfc Smc epLsar cotau tx 454.390369 29.261638 0.001136 cotau tx 117.445711

Hi everybody! I'm trying to write a script to plot a histogram, a boxplot and a qq-plot (under Windows XP, R2.10 if it matters) What I want to do: define the variables (x and y) to be used at the very beginning, so that I don't have to change all occurrences in the script when I want to plot a different variable. The dataset is called "ssfa". TO_POS is a categorical

Dear R users, I have a desktop computer and a laptop, both of them with Ubuntu Lucid. The former has R2.10 installed from Ubuntu repositories (this is the most recent version in the repositories), while the latter has R2.13 from the CRAN repositories. I noticed that postscript files generated with R2.10 are "better" than files generated with the latest release of R, in particular for

Dear R-users When trying to import graphics from an pdf-file to a Vector graphics editor (I use Inkscape, but i've confirmed the same problem on adobe products), all points in the graphics turn out as "q"s. This example displays the beaviour: pdf(file="points are weird.pdf") plot(1:5) dev.off() When importing the file to inkscape, I get five neatly arranged little

Dear users, By running the script below, R crashes systematically at the last command, namely dev.off(), on Windows 7, but not on Windows XP. I therefore don't provide a reproducible example and do not really extract the relevant parts of the script because it has most likely nothing to do with the script itself. I can do it though if you think it might be relevant. R crashes on Windows

Hello. Until today I've been using R2.9 and since today R2.10 (on a PC). In both of them it takes about 20 sec for the prompt to appear IN R console after I start R. And every time it says: "Previous saved work space restored" - even if I have not saved any workspace or, in case of R2.10 - even though I have not used it once. In the older versions - R would start within 2-3 sec. Is

Dear users, When I boxplot(), the lines of the whiskers are dashed. However, when I save in an svg file, the dashed lines of the whiskers are not dashed anymore. How can I have the dashed lines in the svg file? I don't have this problem with a ps file, but I cannot edit such file as easily as an svg file. That's why I'd like to stick to the svg format. Thanks in advance, Ivan df

Hello, I'm using R2.10 on Windows 2000 and I'm having trouble installing the 'hash' library. This is the error I get: > library(hash)                             _       _          ___  _ __   ___ _ __   __| | __ _| |_ __ _  / _ \| '_ \ / _ \ '_ \ / _` |/ _' | __/ _' | | (_) | |_) |  __/ | | | (_| | (_| | || (_| |  \___/| .__/ \___|_| |_|\__,_|\__,_|\__\__,_|

Dear all R2.10 WinXP I have a dataset dealing with the way different wheat cultivars build their yield. Wheat ears are organised in spikelets where the spikelets can be numbered from the bottom, with even numbers on one side and odd on the other. I know how many kernels there were in each spikelet after some months spent counting them... Now I want to illustrate the differences between the

Hi folks, I have some problems with plots (any) saved from R (saved from the menu). It seems that text (either plot titles or axes) is sometimes not "concatenated" in a full "vector" (Illustrator-speaking). I mean, sometimes, a given title is broken in several different chunks even though in R, it's in one "block". Moreover, axis values (especially those < 10)

To Whom it May Concern: I have been using R version 2.6.2 for awhile now, installed on a PowerMac G5 running OS 10.4.11 I typically get Quartz graphics output from R into Adobe Illustrator CS2 simply by copying and pasting. Upon upgrading to R version 2.7.0, I now receive an error from Illustrator when trying to paste R generated graphics from the Quartz window into Illustrator. I do

How may one save a graphic as svg on Windows? The svg() command is recognized and functions well on Linux, etc., but not on Windows, it seems. I'm trying to use Hadley Wickam's ggplot2 and I would like to be able to save created charts as svg for later input into Illustrator. I am able to accomplish this workflow under Linux, but I don't know how to get R to recognize the svg() command

System: Linux kernel 2.6.15 Ubuntu dapper R version 2.5.1 ESS 5.2.11 on Emacs 21.4.1 ------------------------- Colleagues Having read the posts on producing perfect graphs in R, or using inkscape to edit R graphics output, I have a related question. Lately I am publishing in a journal that is very picky about their graphics formats. It is more efficient for me to get the final picky details

Hello, This is a usage question for others with experience of R under the Aqua Mac OS X interface. Basically, I don't succeed in importing PDF files (created with the 'Save As' menu to Quartz device windows) into Illustrator. Versions up to (and including?) 10 loose paths (lines/polygons) and or fill them in black. Version CS (11) on the Mac imports almost correctly, but, "to

Dear list, Some times I want to modify the pdf file which produced by R with illustrator. But when I use Illustrator open the pdf file, it often makes the pdf some little changed. Anyone have some suggestions? Is it better to use other file type, not pdf? Or when I produced the pdf, I should set some other parameters? Thank you

Hi, The first time I tried to run Adobe Illustrator 7 under wine it worked fine (other than it wouldn't open or save any files). Now, it gives me an error message: "Unable to find AIRes.dll. Please reinstall application." The file AIRes.dll is right where it's supposed to be. Any ideas? My system: RedHat 7, (sorry, I don't know which version of wine -- probably the one

Dear R users, Is it possible to force a hard return in an expression. I tried including one for a legend using an expression and it didn't work. Here is my code, legend(12, 0.10, c("Fitted density", as.expression(substitute(paste("Weibull (", alpha==shapeU," , ", beta==scaleU,") Mean = ",meanU," days"), list(shapeU =

I have 3 nested functions, the core function goes like this: listx<-function(x,tox) { xt=table(x) wa=sort(unique(x,fromLast=FALSE)) print(xt) print(wa) ...... return(kk) } listx get called in functionB, and functionB get called in functionC. When I test functionB, the listx function works just fine. When I call functionB from functionC, strange thing happened: My result for xt: 0.07 0.17
