tyring to save plots using windoze 7 and cygwin
Hi, I'd been using R in the past and recently installed it on a new windoze 7 machine. There have been many issues with compatibility and 32/64 bit apps etc and I did find on google on isolated complaint that saveplot failed in scripts a long time ago. R seems to work fine except script-based plot saving as pdf has not worked. I have tried the following, none of which seem to function, xyz

finding the year of a date
I know that I can use as.yearmon in the package "zoo" to find the year and the month of a date. I can use as. yearqtr to find the year and the quarter. But how can one find just the year of a date? Thanks a lot! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah Consulting www.ninah.com

replacing period with a space
Dear R-ers! I have x as a variable in a data frame x. x<-data.frame(x=c("aa.bb","cc.dd.ee")) x$x<-as.character(x$x) x I am sorry for such a simple question - but how can I replace all periods in x$x with spaces? sub('.', ' ', x$x) - removes all letters to the left of each period... Thanks a lot for your advice! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah.com

transforming dates into years
Hello! If I have in my data frame MyFrame a variable saved as a Date and want to translate it into years, I currently do it like this using "zoo": library(zoo) as.year <- function(x) as.numeric(floor(as.yearmon(x))) myFrame$year<-as.year(myFrame$date) Is there a function that would do it directly - like "as.yearmon" - but for years? Thank you! -- Dimitri

R takes long time to open
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

Increasing the font size on axes in trellis

I don't mean the axis labels - they are both good, but what is shown near the tick marks. Please help me figure out what parameter I should add to make those larger.

Running code sequentially from separate scripts (but not functions)
Hello! I am wondering if it's possible to run - in sequence - code that is stored in several R scripts. For example: Script in the file "code1.r" contains the code: a = 3; b = 5; c = a + b Script in the file "code2.r" contains the code: d = 10; e = d - c Script in the file "code3.r" contains the code: result=e/a I understand that I could write those 3 scripts
