Dear R People: I'm using R-2.8.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty jackalope (or whatever its name is), and having a problem with the vignette function: > vignette("snowfall") sh: /usr/bin/xpdf: not found > Has anyone run into this, please? Or is this for the Debian R list, please? Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

I am building a package for various noncentral hypergeometric distributions. I want to include some heavy mathematical formulas. It appears that the build and INSTALL commands produce only .chm files and not .pdf files from my .Rd files under Windows. This means that it cannot show complicated mathematical formulas. The solution might be to include a .pdf file as a vignette. I tried that,

Hi, I can't pinpoint exactly since what R version I first noticed this error, but are others seeing this? R> vignette("grid") R> sh: : command not found instead of having the vignette displayed in the proper viewer? This is with: R> sessionInfo() R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu locale:

Dear R-users, I am going through the last steps of package prep before submission to CRAN and I have the following problem. My package contains a single vignette written in optimbase.Rnw and that in stored in /inst/doc. optimbase.Rnw contains multiple \input{} statements that refer to .tex files stored in /inst/latex.ref/, e.g.: \input{../latex.ref/optimbase-package.tex} When I compile my Rnw

Based on some testing it seems to me that if I have a package with a dataset in /data a Sweave vignette in inst/doc (but no associated pdf file) the vignette loads the data in /data through data(dataset) and I do a R CMD build R will try to build the pdf version of the vignette, but will be unable to find the dataset in data because the package is not yet installed. However, if I do

Hallo! Trying to configure Xemacs to work with .snw files on windows 2000. Tried to do it how it is described in the FAQ for Sweaves. When starting xemacs with and Snw file *ESS* buffer contains hundrets of lines and the few last ones. (ess-loop-timeout . 500000) (inferior-ess-primary-prompt . ^) (inferior-ess-secondary-prompt . ^) (comint-use-prompt-regexp-instead-of-fields . t)

Writing R extensions says: In addition to the help files in Rd format, R packages allow the inclusion of documents in arbitrary other formats. The standard location for these is subdirectory inst/doc of a source package, the contents will be copied to subdirectory doc when the package is installed. Pointers from package help indices to the installed documents are automatically created.

Dear list, On Fedora 8 I downloaded the beta version of R via svn. make and make check-all worked fine, but make vignettes is failing with: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gavin/R/2-7-patched/build/src/library' building/updating vignettes for package 'grid' ... processing 'displaylist.Snw' /usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting.

Dear R users, I am currently writing the documentation for my first package. I have created a short user manual using sweave/pdflatex which is distinct from the manual/summary-of-package-functions created by R CMD CHECK. I was wondering how could I seamlessly combine both documents. Thanks for your help Sebastien [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, I have tried to setup my Xemacs for use with Sweave, which I indend to learn. I have followed the instructions in the Sweave FAQ, that is to say, I put (defun Rnw-mode () (require 'ess-noweb) (noweb-mode) (if (fboundp 'R-mode) (setq noweb-default-code-mode 'R-mode))) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw\\'" .

I can't get Emacs to automatically do syntax highlighting of Sweave files. I have followed Friedrich's suggestion for code to insert into my .emacs file. The complete section from my .emacs file is given below. When I load a *.Snw file, font is white until I press M-x, then the first code and document chunks get highlighted, but not the rest of the file. Latex and Noweb menus are

Dear R-users, In the R internals manual, it is said that one can extract the elements of the dot-dot-dot argument using the special symbols ..1 or ..2. It seems to work just fine but I was wondering if there is a way one can extract or modify the content of the dot-dot-dot argument using a level name instead of its position? For instance, assuming that list(...) returns: $a [1] 1 2 3 4 5

Dear R-users, I would like to know if there is a function (in base R or the extension packages) that would automatically detect the break points in a vector x for later use in the cut function. The idea is to determine the boundaries of the n intervals (n>=1) delimiting clusters of data points which could be considered "reasonably" close, given a numerical vector x with unknown

Hello, I have start and end coordinates from different experiments (DNase hypersensitivity data) and now I would like to combine overlapping intervals. For instance (see my test data below) (2) 30-52 and (3) 49-101 are combined to 30-101. But 49-101 and 70-103 would not be combined because they are on different chromosomes (chr a and chr b). Does anybody have an idea? Thanks Hermann > df

Hello. I want to write my notes in Sweave in my own language (spanish). But my language has accents and when I run Sweave in R to translate my Snw file into the tex file the accents are translated into unrecognizable characters. For example, the word "cami?n" (truck) is translated into "cami??n" Somebody knows how can I do it? One solution I don't like is using a
