similar to: Adding text to page margin with lattice graphics

Colleagues I am learning lattice graphics (R 2.12.2; OS X). Several days ago, I inquired about adding margin text to lattice graphics. Jim Price offered a useful reply, suggesting that I add: page = function(page) grid.text('words', x = 0.5, y = 0.01) to my call to the function. The entire function that he suggested was; xyplot(1 ~ 1, par.settings = list(layout.heights =

Colleagues, R version 2.8.1 in OS X Within a function (which is already within a function), I am sourcing a file. The syntax of the command is something like (this is just an example; the actual code is much more complicated): BIGFUNCTION <- function() { DATAFRAME <- [some commands to create a dataframe] MYFUNCTION(DATAFRAME) } MYFUNCTION <- function(DATAFRAME) { print(ls())

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 using R (2.9.2, all platforms) to search for a complicated text string using regular expressions. I would appreciate any help you can provide. The string consists of the following elements: SOMEWORDWITHNOSPACES any number of spaces and/or tabs ( any number of spaces and/or tabs integer any number of spaces and/or tabs ) Examples include: WORD ( 123 ) WORD(1 )

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 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

Colleagues Assume that I have a vector containing some text strings, some of which contain a particular character. I could like to apply "toupper" to the text before the character. For example (in this case, "|" is the particular character): ORIGINAL: TEXT <- c("aaaa", "bbb|cc", "|ddd") AFTER APPLICATION OF toupper: TEXT <-

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, 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. Dennis Dennis Fisher MD P <

Luke Thanks ? I revised the code to: ERRORMESSAGE <- try(source(USERSCRIPTFILE, local=T), silent=T) print(ERRORMESSAGE) now returns: $value [1] 0 $visible [1] FALSE Not clear what to make of that.

Colleagues I am executing a length script in R (20K lines). At one point, it returns: > Loading required package: tcltk > Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done > Loading required package: Hmisc > Loading required package: survival > Loading required package: stats > Loading required package: graphics > Loading required package: splines > Attaching package: 'Hmisc'

Will this need to be done many times? If not, it might be just as easy to apply conditional formatting to cells after they're already in Excel.

Colleagues, Hopefully a simple problem: I want to delete a column with a known name from a dataframe. I could write: FRAME <- FRAME[, names(FRAME) != NAMETODELETE] or FRAME <- FRAME[, !names(FRAME) %in% c(NAME1, NAME2, ETC)] Is there some simpler means to accomplish this?

R 4.0.2 OS X Colleagues I have the unfortunate need to create a large number of tables (destined for a Word document). I need to color cells depending on the contents, e.g., blue if the value is < 0.5, red if the value is > 1.5. If the output went initially to Excel, that would work; outputting directly to Word would be even better. I expect that several packages can accomplish this. I

Colleagues, R 2.9.0 on all platforms I have a dataset that contains three columns of interest: ID's, serial elapsed times, and a marker. Representative data: Subject Time Marker 1 100.5 0 1 101 0 1 102 1 1 103 0 1 105 0 For each subject, I would like to find the time associated with MARKER == 1, then replace Time with Time - (Time[Marker == 1]) The result for this

Colleagues, I want to create the following array: "A1", "A2", "A3", "B1", "B2", "B3", "C1", "C2", "C3" I recall that there is a trick using "c" or "paste" permitting me to form all combinations of c("A", "B", "C") and 1:3. But, I can't recall the

R 4.2.3 OS X Colleagues, I am printing a large number of tables using the print command. A simple example is: print(data.frame(COL1=1:5, COL2=10:6)) The result in this case is: COL1 COL2 1 1 10 2 2 9 3 3 8 4 4 7 5 5 6 I would like to print the table WITHOUT the row numbers: COL1 COL2 1 10 2 9 3 8 4 7 5 6 Is there any simple

Colleagues OS 10.5 R: 2.10.1 I have a simple x-y plot for which I would like to shade the lower (or upper) part of the interior region (i.e., the area bounded by the axes). If the delineation between top and bottom were linear, it would be use to use the polygon function. However, the delineation is a curve (which I can describe by an equation). In theory, I could divide the x-axis into a

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 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
