similar to: plot: how to fix the ratio of the plot box?

Dear expeRts, I am not sure if I found a bug... I would like to create a function that itself creates a lattice plot without colors. Following http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help at r-project.org/msg64699.html I use trellis.device() to set the colors to FALSE. Whenever I call the minimal example below *with* trellis.device(), Quartz opens a window (I am working on a MAC), which it shouldn't,

Hi, I found the thread http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Matrix-as-input-to-xyplot-lattice-proper-extended-formula-syntax-td896948.html I used Gabor's approach and then tried to assign the plot to a variable (see below). But a Quartz device is opened... why? I don't want to have anything plot/printed, I just would like to store the plot object. Is there something like "plot =

Hi, If I use the levelplot function of the lattice library, I always see small "squares" in the plot. They indicate the region for which the same color is used. If you have a levelplot of a function which is evaluated at 25x25 equally-spaced points you obtain 26 squares in x and 26 squares in y direction. That does not bother too much (but still bothers somehow...), but if you

Dear expeRts, I am a new user of rgl, below is my first trial to plot a simple function in 3d. I managed to put the axes in the right locations, but: (1) The xlab, ylab, and zlab arguments are ignored; how can I put in axes labels? (2) Since I removed the axes in persp3d() the viewport is too small; is it possible to keep the size of the viewport? (3) The box is not correctly drawn, there

Hi, This is most likely only a minor technicality, but I saw the following: On page 6 of the 'parallel' vignette (http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/parallel/doc/parallel.pdf), the random-number generator "L'Ecuyer-CMRG" is said to have seed "(x_n, x_{n-1}, x_{n-2}, y_n, y_{n-1}, y_{n-2})". However, in L'Ecuyer et al. (2002), the seed is given with

Hi, why does format(10000, big.mark = "\\,") not give me "10\,000"? How can I get this kind of "big.mark"? Cheers, Marius

Dear expeRts, I would like to create a plotmath-label of the form X_1^\prime. Here is how to *not* do it [not nicely aligned symbols]: plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X*minute[1]))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X[1]*minute))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X)[1]*minute)) Any suggestions? Cheers, Marius

Dear expeRts, I have two matrices A and B. They have the same number of columns but possibly different number of rows. I would like to compare each row of A with each row of B and check whether all entries in a row of A are less than or equal to all entries in a row of B. Here is a minimal working example: A <- rbind(matrix(1:4, ncol=2, byrow=TRUE), c(6, 2)) # (3, 2) matrix B <-

Full_Name: Thomas Richardson Version: R 2.9.0 GUI 1.28 Tiger build 32-bit (5395) OS: 10.4.11 Submission from: (NULL) (216.254.15.72) I have encountered a problem with points in scatterplots disappearing in a quartz window when it is re-sized (to make it larger). I am constructing an 8x12 matrix of scatterplots each containing approx 600 points. In order to get them in the window I remove the

Hi Simon, thanks for your quick reply. 1) ... so you can reproduce this? 2) Do you know a way how this can be 'foreseen'? We allocate larger matrices in the copula package depending on the user's input dimension. It would be good to tell her/him "Your dimension is quite large. Be aware of killers in your neighborhood"... before the killer attacks. Thanks & cheers,

Dear expeRts, I would like to colorize the backgrounds of a pairs plot according to the respective panel number. Here is what I tried (without success): count <- 0 mypanel <- function(x, y, ...){ count <<- count+1 bg. <- if(count %in% c(1,4,9,12)) "#FDFF65" else NA points(x, y, cex=0.5, bg=bg) } U <- matrix(runif(4*500), ncol=4) pairs(U, panel=mypanel) I

Dear expeRts, how can I decrease the space between the tick marks and the corresponding labels in an splom? See here: library(lattice) U <- matrix(runif(4000), ncol = 8) splom(U, axis.text.cex = 0.2) # => space between the [small] tick labels and tick marks is/seems to be too large I checked ?panel.pairs but could not find an option for that. Cheers, Marius

Hi, Both under the current R-devel (r66456) and a version from about 3 months ago, I experience the following behavior: > parallel::detectCores(TRUE) Error in system(cmd, TRUE) : error in running command > traceback() 3: system(cmd, TRUE) 2: gsub("^ +", "", system(cmd, TRUE)[1]) 1: parallel::detectCores(TRUE) > This is on Ubuntu 14.04. Does anybody else see this? [I

Hi, I would like to have the labels parallel to the axes in my wireframe (lattice) plot. Sure you can use ...xlab=list(label="x-axis",rot=30) and for the z-axis this is easy (as rot=90), but for the x- and y- axis the angle is not (always) quite clear (to me). Is there an option that just rotates all three labels to be parallel to the corresponding axes? Thanks marius

Dear expeRts, I recently asked for a real "centered" title (see, e.g., http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e13/help/11/01/0135.html). A nice solution (from Deepayan Sarkar) is to use "xlab.top" instead of "main": library(lattice) trellis.device("pdf") print(xyplot(0 ~ 0, xlab.top = "This title is now 'centered' for the human's eye",

Hi, Interesting "feature" in 10.11.4. I wonder if the process is killed before or after malloc() returns. If before, it seems very blunt: "You're asking too much and I don't like it so I kill you now". If after it doesn't look much better: "You're asking a lot and I don't like it but I give it to you anyway. I'll kill you quickly later". Why

Hi, Is this expected behavior (R-3.6.0)? dat <- cbind(x = 1:10, y = 10:1) ylab <- substitute(X[t], list(t = 2)) plot(dat, ylab = ylab) # works (correctly displays ylab) boxplot(dat, ylab = ylab) # fails boxplot(dat, ylab = as.expression(ylab)) # works Thanks & cheers, M

Dear expeRts, I would like to call a function f from a function g with or without an argument. I use missing() to check if the argument is given. If it is not given, can I set it to anything such that the following function call (to f) behaves as if the argument isn't given? It's probably best described by a minimal example (see below). The reason why I want to do this is, that I do

Dear expeRts, I would like to create a scatter plot matrix with splom(). The lower panel should contain some additional information about the samples shown in the upper panel plot, see the splom() call below. Now two questions came up: (1) The lower panels show "tau" and "alpha" on top of each other. How can I plot *three* expressions on top of each other? I tried several

Hi, I try to apply a function to subsets of a data.frame. tapply() does the job, but the as output, I am looking for a vector (not an array/matrix) ordered in the same way as the original data, so I can simply cbind the result to the original data.frame. Below is a minimal example. I know that there are packages that can do these things easier, but I'm looking for a fast solution not
