Dear all, Sweave chokes when using "\\" in the path to the Rnw file. Using "/" works fine. The problem is that Eclipse+StatET uses "\\" in the filename. And example of the error, traceback and sessionInfo are given below. Best regards, Thierry > Sweave("Q:\\BMK\\cursussen\\interne_opleiding\\deelnemerslijst.Rnw", syntax="SweaveSyntaxNoweb")

My day for dumb questions. How do I increase the type size in the Rgui console in Windows? (R-2.13.0, Windows 7) It looked to me that I just needed to change the font spec in Rconsole but that does not seem to be working. The R FAQ for Windows has a reference in Q3.4 to changing fonts, (Q5.2), but I don't see anything relevant there. Rconsole originally was: font = TT Courier New points =

Hi All, I have been experiencing a strange issue ever since I upgraded my R and the packages. I cannot plot anything to the CairoPNG device.For an example:> Cairo(600, 600, file="plot.png", type="png", bg="white")> plot(1:10)> dev.off()will create an empty plot.png file. I am running R 2.12.1 (32bit) on Windows 7 (64bit). ----------------------------->

Dear all, I noticed in the latest R version (R.2.12.1) that the readPNG gives following warning when running the example code in the help file (or when using any other png for that matter) : 50: In rasterImage(img, 1.2, 1.27, 1.8, 1.73) : Per-pixel alpha not supported on this device No picture is shown, and code I used to be able to run, doesn't run any more. > sessionInfo() R version

Hello all, I am manipulating a large database with 70,000 records. "strptime" generates a date variable but R treats some of the values as NA. I attach a simple example below. I have spent hours on this problem. Any hint would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Edwin Sun # =======start of sample code ============= > x <- c("2005-04-02 19:03:00", "2005-04-03

Clearly, I don't understand what order() is doing and as ususl the help for order seems to only confuse me more. For some reason I just don't follow the examples there. I must be missing something about the data frame sort there but what? I originally wanted to reverse-order my data frame df1 (see below) by aa (a factor) but since this was not working I decided to simplify and order by

I am new to using odfWeave but I have encountered a problem running both the example in the help file as well as another file.? I am not sure how to correct the error. First example: library(odfWeave) filein <- 'c:\\my documents\\example01_in.odt' fileout <- 'c:\\my documents\\example01.odt' odfWeave(filein, fileout, control = odfWeaveControl(cleanup = T)) error:

R Gurus: This sounds not a FAQ. I upgraded WinEdt from 5.4 to 5.5 , following load RWinEdt, R-WinEdt editor appears. There are more menu items and task icons in this version, but I failed to find a pull down menu or task icon to send code to R.

Dear all, ggplot gives me an error when trying to plot time series data using a date variable as the x axis. g<-structure(list(Date = c("2011-12-23", "2011-12-30", "2012-01-06", "2011-12-23", "2011-12-30", "2012-01-06", "2011-12-23", "2011-12-30", "2012-01-06"), variable = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L,

Hi, This looks OK: > x <- c("_1_", "1_9", "2_9") > rank(x) [1] 1 2 3 But this does not: > xa <- paste(x, "a", sep="") > xa [1] "_1_a" "1_9a" "2_9a" > rank(xa) [1] 2 1 3 Cheers, H. > sessionInfo() R version 2.14.0 (2011-10-31) Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1]

Or at least is seems that way to me. It's not a big problem, but the behavior doesn't match the documentation. (I think r-help is the place to report this. ) > x <- factor(1:5) > x.ro <- reorder(x, rnorm(5)) > is.ordered(x.ro) # should be FALSE according to ?reorder [1] TRUE > > x.ro <- reorder(x, rnorm(5), ordered=FALSE) > is.ordered(x.ro) # should be FALSE

Dear R developers, I find the format of descriptions of the arguments in the read.table help text slightly inconsistent. For example, the logical arguments comes in seven different formats, more or less explicit about the consequences of a TRUE (or FALSE): 1. check.names logical. If TRUE then the names... 2. blank.lines.skip logical: if TRUE blank lines... 3. flush logical: if TRUE,

Dear all, I wish to create a POSIXct variable from date and time variables using the ymd_hm function in package lubridate. In some cases data for time is missing, which causes a problem for ymd_hm. I wish to find a smooth way to handle this. # Some example data: x <- data.frame(date = c("2011-09-22", "2011-07-28"), time = c("15:00", NA)) x # paste date and

Dear all, I've recently purchased a new 64bit system with an intel i7 quadcore processor. As I understood (maybe wrongly) that to date the 32bit version of R is more stable than the 64bit, I installed the 32bit version and am happily using it ever since. Now I'm running a whole lot of models, which goes smoothly, and I thought out of curiosity to check how much processor I'm using. I

The following seems to me to be at least a perverse trap, if not an = outright bug: > is.numeric(unit(1,"npc")) [1] TRUE > is.numeric(1*unit(1,"npc")) [1] FALSE > is.numeric(unit(0,"npc") +unit(1,"npc")) [1] FALSE ...etc. i.e. is.numeric() appears to be TRUE for class "unit" but false for = class ("unit.arithmetic"

This problem is likely to be specific to Windows, and particularly Win7. After a successful build of a package (R CMD build addendum), I immediately run an R CMD check for the same package. Not always, but _very_ often, I get the following error: C:\Users\nisabbe\Documents\@Doctoraat\R>R CMD check addendum Loading required package: tcltk Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done Loading
