Greyed text in the background of a plot
Hi! Is there any way of having a greyed ("ghosted") text (i.e, 2006) in the background of a plot? I'm making a dynamic plot and would like to show the year of each time step as a big greyed text in the background. (the idea comes from Hans Rosling video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4237353244338529080&sourceid=searchfeed ) Thanks Agus -- Dr. Agustin Lobo Institut

Recoding
Hi! Given a vector (or a factor within a df),i.e. v1 <- c(1,1,1,2,3,4,1,10,3) and a dictionary cbind(c(1,2,3),c(1001,1002,1003)) is there a function (on the same line than recode() in car) to get v2 as c(1001,1001,1001,1002,1003,4,1001,10,1003) ? I'm using myself a function based on match() since long ago (I think that thanks to advice by Prof. B. Ripley), but would like to know if there

Log or diary file
Hi! Is it possible to set a file to which both commands and output would get automatically saved? I've tried with sink(), but only get the output. I mean something like a combined history and sink, as you get with File/Save to File.. in the windows GUI. Tis is done with diary filename in Matlab, and you can state diary on and diary off to control what is being saved to the file. Thanks Agus

Renamig a factor
Which is the proper way to rename a factor? If I do: test$Parc[test$Parc=="Ol?rdola"]<-"Ol?rdola" R complains that Warning message: invalid factor level, NAs generated in: `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, test$Parc == "Ol?rdola", value = "Ol?rdola") Thanks Agus -- Dr. Agustin Lobo Institut de Ciencies de la Terra "Jaume Almera" (CSIC) LLuis Sole

space between plots
I've set layout(matrix(c(1,3,2,4),ncol=2)) and par(mar=c(0, 4, 4, 0) + 0.0) and par(mar=c(0, 0, 4, 3) + 0.0) for the upper-left and upper-right plots, but still get an space between both plots, is there any way to completely eliminate that space?

Proportional axes
Hi! If I'm plotting 2 variables with the same units (i.e. wing length of 2 species), how can I force that X and Y axes have the same size for length unit? For example, if X ranges from 0 to 10 and Y ranges from 10 to 30, I want Y axis to be twice as long as X axis. I know I can just put xlim and ylim from 0 to 30, i.e., plot(runif(10,0,10),runif(10,10,30),xlim=c(0,30),ylim=c(0,30)) but this

ubuntu problem with 'r-cran-robustbase' [FWD Agustin Lobo]
Agustin, posted on R-help. I think the problem is one of the debian/ubuntu package 'r-cran-robustbase' and its setup or (missing?) dependencies. I can confirm Agustin's problem, working on Ubuntu 8.04.2 (8.04 is a "LTS" = long time support version). apt-get install r-cran-robustbase works fine, but when trying to load the package, there's a DLL - dependency on

cutree() and rect.hclust(): different labelling of classes
I've found that while cutree() and rect.hclust() make the same classes for a given height in the dendrogram, the actual labeling of the classes is different. For example, both produce the same 4 classes but class 1 according to cutree() is class 4 according to rect.hclust(). Would it be possible that future versions provide the same labeling? rect.hclust() is useful to display the classes

query labels in iplot() (or other interactive scatterplot)
By Ctr-moving the cursor over a point in an iplot() scatterplot (package iplots) it is possible to check the exact x,y coordinates of a given point. Is it possible to check a text label for that point as well? (i.e., the same info that would get printed on the graphic using text(x,y, labels=v) or with identify(x,y,labels), but I do not want to get the labels permanently plotted on the graphic)

day of the year for chron objects
Hi! Is not there an standard R function to retrieve the day of the year (since 1st Jan of the same year)? I know I can make my own using julian, but find it weird that having days(), months() etc doy() does not exist as an standard function. Also, is the following not a bit inconsistent? > a <- chron("20100506",format="ymd") > a [1] 100506 > years(a) [1] 2010

prcomp(X,center=F) ??
I do not understand, from a PCA point of view, the option center=F of prcomp() According to the help page, the calculation in prcomp() "is done by a singular value decomposition of the (centered and possibly scaled) data matrix, not by using eigen on the covariance matrix" (as it's done by princomp()) . "This is generally the preferred method for numerical accuracy"

Bhat: installation problem
Hi! I'm trying to install package Bhat on a Win machine, had a problem and figured out a fix, but would like to report the problem and make sure the fix is correct. This is what I do: 1. Download Bhat_0.9-07.tar.gz 2. Uncompress it and compress it back to Bhat_0.9-07.zip 3. Install from the R windows gui (that apparentely requires the zip compression and cannot deal with the tar.gz) But
