similar to: cube root of a negative number

This is some interesting: > -8^(1/3) [1] -2 > x=(-8:8) > y=x^(1/3) > y [1] NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.000000 1.000000 [11] 1.259921 1.442250 1.587401 1.709976 1.817121 1.912931 2.000000 So, can anybody explain this?! (Why is x[1]^(1/3)=y[1]=NaN, but -8^(1/3)=-2?) Thx!!! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I have run into a problem when running some code implemented in the Bioconductor panp-package (applied to my own expression data), whereby gene expression values of known true negative probesets (x) are interpolated onto present/absent p-values (y) between 0 and 1 using the *approxfun - function*{stats}; when I have used R version 2.8, everything had worked fine, however, after updating

Currently, the cube plugin uses mipmapping only when cube is unfolded. When the cube is rotated, mipmaps are not used, which leads to ugly look of textures. The attached patch fixes this. This leads to another kind of artifacts, which are fixable with anisotropic filtering. http://team.pld-linux.org/~wolf/aniso.png The leftmost image is the current state of cube plugin. The center image is with

I know this has probably been asked before, but, I'll ask anyways: Workspaces/Desktops/whatever on the top and bottom of the cube, is there any chance this will ever happen? I love how in gnome you can have work spaces in rows/columns, and i tend to have 4-6 workspaces (well 6, but only 4 gets used all of the time, but its nice to have the "buffer" workspaces. since using compiz

I've attached the patch since I don't yet have an easy way to make git format-patch and kmail play nice together. The basic idea is during a rotate/other cube transform, 'sticky' windows stick to the screen instead of being redrawn once per face (its an option, the default is the old behaviour) Consider this, please, essentially an RFC - this particular behaviour was

I am using read.table to import a text file within R.   There are several "errors" in my text file.  An "extra" quotation mark has inadvertently been included within a few text fields.   e.g. for a pipe (|) delimited text file, I have something similar to this:   1|7|30| "dog" 2|6|25| ""cat" 3|4|20|"" 4|5| 56| "mouse" 5|3|56|

I'm using the command below on an open3d() object to create a shaded cube. Changes to myScalingFactor do not effect changes in the size of the cube. What is the correct approach?

Hi, there is a bug in git for cube plugin. Plugin dont set Image defined in gconf as : /apps/compiz/plugins/cube/screen0/options/skydome_image on initialization. If i reset this value manualy, i get my image in skydome. -- Teresa Kalitowska jid: teresa at kvitka.net

Hi, I just installed DirectX 9.0c on latest Wine according to howto I found here on wine sites. Well the problem is, that in dxdiag 3D tests it shows just very fast spinning (that should be, shouldn't it?) cube, but with no DirectX texture on it, just a white cube. I have nVidia 8400MG. It's working 'cause in Windows I play normally with DX 9 installed. My distro is ArchLinux. Thx

Hi, Recently i have worked on re-writing beryl's transparent cube, and ported 3d plugin to compiz. I'm attaching a patchset here that includes the transparent cube patches (i'll post the 3d plugin when i fix some problems that didn't happen in beryl). Patching order: btf-ftb.patch, clip-planes.patch, plugin-events.patch, cube-paint-order.patch, transparent-cube.patch. Special

Hi All, I want to have an array/ matrix that looks this x<- 0 0 1 1 1 3 5 4 4 7 -1 8 9 10 6 I hope this makes sense. So basically if I want x[1,3] it will access 0 and similarly x[4,2], -1.

>From what I understand, loess in R uses the standard tri-cube function. SAS/INSIGHT offers loess with Gaussian weights. Is there a function in R that does the same? Also, can anyone offer any references comparing properties between tri-cube and Gaussian weights in LOESS? Thanks. - Andr? -- View this message in context:

Dear R-users, I have a basic question about how to determine the antilog of a variable. Say I have some number, x, which is a factor of 2 such that x = 2^y. I want to figure out what y is, i.e. I am looking for the antilog base 2 of x. I have found log2 in the Reference Manual. But I am struggling how to get the antilog of that. Any help will be appreciated! > version platform

I think I have a slight problem with the new hookable plugins and the ini plugin. I haven't looked into it too much, but the plugins use an option to store their abi version. This value is stored so that when the cube/scale plugins are updated it will not be changed and things will not work. Do we need some sort of flag to tell ini not to save these options? I assume that it is OK for

I have gone ahead and implemented the unfold distance option as mentioned in the source. the patch is here http://home.comcast.net/~moppsy/compiz/cube-unfold-distance.patch

Listmates, Interesting difference in size. The cube now seems to have grown in size during rotate. See the differences: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-rotate.png http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-rotate1.png Is there a setting that controls this? -- David C.

Hi All, I'm trying to create labels to plot such that it doesn't show up as scientific notation. So for example how do I get R to show 1e06 as $1,000,000. I was wondering if there was a single function which allows you to do that, the same way that as.Date() allows you to show in date format on a plot. Thanks, Sachin --- Please consider the environment before printing this email ---

Hi R, In the following code my x-axis is formatted in month format. Which Im happy with. The y-axis is what I want to re-format with something else. My question is, is it possible just to switch off the xaxis in plot function (see below). If not how do you get the months to show up as FEB-YYYY, MAR-YYYY and so on, so I could fit a label on x-axis. Thanks, Sachin p.s. sorry about corporate

When ever i hover over something that gives me a tool tip - it is showing on all sides of my cube - dont want that - is there a cure ? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi does anyone know of any R functions or packages for the following :- . generating cube plots for displaying the results from a response surface experiment design . generating ternary plots from a mixture design . tetrahedral plot or quaternary plot for displaying results from a four factor mixture experiment thanks Bob Kinley [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
