R 4.2.3 OS X Colleagues This should be easy -- but not for me. I want to plot text similar to this: N ? XX: YY where XX can be either 1 or 50 and YY is an integer I envision that there would be two solutions: UNICODE: If I can generate "?" via unicode, the problem is solved: mtext(side=3, paste0("N ", UNICODE, " ", XX, ": ", YY)) PLOTMATH:

R 4.2.2 OS X Colleagues A file that I have read includes strings like this: "EVENT ? 30 sec" When I include the string in a graphic using: mtext(STRING, ?) it appears as: "EVENT ... 30 sec" Is there a simple work-around (short of reformatting all the strings, then using plotmath)?

Colleagues, [R 2.11; OS X] I am processing a file on the fly that contains the following text: XXX?? [email clients may display this differently -- the string is three X's followed by two instances of the letter a with an acute accent] I read the file with: X <- readLines(FILENAME) In this instance, the text of interest is on line 213. When I examine line 213, it reads: XXX\xe1\xe1

Colleagues, I am interesting in opening a PDF document via the command line from both Windows, OS X, and Linux ( R version 2.8.0). I found a command openPDF in Biobase. However, I would rather execute the command myself. For example, in OS X: > system("open filename.pdf") is successful. Is there a comparable command line command for Windows or Linux? Dennis Dennis Fisher

Colleagues, What is the easiest means to embed a: ? (registered) or ? (trademark) sign in text in a graphic. I would like to use mtext and avoid plotmath, if possible. Ideally, the sign should be superscripted but I can easily sacrifice that. Optimally, I need a solution that works in both OS X and Windows (? XP) and with R versions ? 2.11 Thanks in advance.

R 3.4.1 OS X and Windows Colleagues I have a complicated problem that includes several components: R RTF PDF Using R (and a slew of RTF commands), I assemble a text document with an RTF extension. The document contains text, tables, and images (JPEG format, previously created with R). To ?import? the JPEG images into the document, I use the following R code: cat("\\pard\\qc

Colleagues R 2.10.1 on a Mac I read in textfiles using readLines, then I process those files, then I use R to execute another program. Occasionally those files contain characters other than letter / numbers / routine punctuation marks. For example, a bullet (option-8 on a Mac) triggers the problem. Although R can read and process those characters, the other program cannot so I would like to

Colleagues, I am encountering difficulty adding formatted text to a graphic. Specifically, I want to add a superscript in the middle of a text string but I would like to format the text string on the fly. The commands: plot(1,1) ARG <- bquote('TEXT'^'\u00ae') mtext(ARG, line=-2, side=1) yield the desired output. However, my goal is to paste together a string, then pass

A student entered some data with text characters like epsilon and alpha. On her Windows system, the Greek letters did not display properly in a plot. There were some ordinary ASCII instead. I asked her to send me the code so I could test. For me, the plot looks ok on the screen. Format1 <- c(320,500,700,1000,500,320,700,500,320) Format2 <- c(800,1000,1150,1400,1500,1650,1800,2300,2500)

Colleagues R: 2.12.2 OS X I have a set of text objects in the form (I am showing 3 of what is more likely to be 20 or so): OBJECTS <- c("abcSOMETHINGCOMMONegf", "xSOMETHINGCOMMONyz", "SOMETHINGCOMMONnme") As you can see, all contain "SOMETHINGCOMMON" and the position varies. But, I don't know what that "SOMETHINGCOMMON" is. Is there an

R 2.12.2 Windows 7 Colleagues, I just took advantage of the function: readWindowsShortcut in R.utils. It accomplished my goals and I was interested in learning its inner workings. So, I typed the function at the command line (without arguments or parentheses). R returned: function (...) UseMethod("readWindowsShortcut") <environment: namespace:R.utils> providing no

Colleagues Running R2.2.1 on either a Linux (RedHat 9) or Mac (10.4) platform. I created a PDF document using pdf("FILENAME.pdf", bg="transparent", version="1.4"). I then imported the graphic into PowerPoint - background was set to a non-transparent color. I was hoping that the inserted graphic would be transparent - instead, it had a white background.

Colleagues, I am trying to understand how R (2.12.1) obtains the PATH environment variable in Windows (7 or Vista). Startup {base} directs one to: "R_ENVIRON" -- which equals "" in my systems R_HOME/etc/Renviron.site -- which does not exist Next, it directs to: R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site -- which also does not exist (the expected behavior in a "factory-fresh"

R 4.0.2 OS X Colleagues Does R have the capability of adding text (e.g., page numbers) to an existing PDF (previously created with R) -- other than adding this text, the PDF should be unchanged (except for a new filename). The intent is as follows: I have multiple PDFs that I eventually merge into a single PDF, separating each one with a separator page. The content of the separator pages

R 2.15.1 OS X.7.4 Colleagues, I have a large dataset (27773536 records, the file is several GB) that contains a column of date / time entries in the format: "2/1/2011 13:25:01" I need to convert these to numeric values (ideally in seconds; the origin [e.g., 1970-01-01] is not important). I am using: as.numeric(strptime(DATA$DATADTM, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S")) It takes 21
