I am attempting to create a simple line chart graphing three columns from a soffice-calc spreadsheet. I expect it to take the leftmost column as the X-Axis, plotting the others on the Y-Axis, but it always creates an X-Axis of the row number in the columns, and the first column amongst the data. I have tried this on OpenOffice.org 3.2.0, NeoOffice(R) 3.0.2 Patch 2, iWork Pages, and Excel 12.2.4

Hello all, I had a very strange looking problem that turned out to be due to unexpected (by me at least) format changes to one of my data files. We have a small lab study in which each run is represented by a row in a tab-delimited file; each row identifies a repetition of the experiment and associates it with some subjective measurements and times from our notes that get used to index another

Under Windows, I have used RODBC to connect to Excel spreadsheets as per the example below: library(RODBC); connect = odbcConnectExcel("testdata.xls"); query = "SELECT [data$.ethn], [data$.sex], [data$.age], [data$.height], [data$.weight], [label$.label] FROM [data$], [label$] WHERE [data$.ethn] = [label$.ethn];" data =

Hi R users: I am using RODBC to create some new ".xls" files each with several sheets (about 100) with sqlSave() from a data.frame inside R without any problem, but on windows XP platform. I would like to know if it is posible to make a similar solution on linux with openoffice? RODBC work only (for the moment) with ".xls" on windows, via the ODBC driver. Is it posible to

I have been very satisfied with R-Excel interface (DCOM). Few months ago I have changed my OS to Linux-Mandrake, and now I am using OpenOffice.org Calc as spreadsheet. I would like to know does exist some R-OpenOffice.org interface or how is possible to use R-functions in OpenOffice.org Calc? Thanks a lot!

The last few releases of OpenOffice have gotten very unstable on my desktop which is a CentOS 5.5 i386 system. After multiple crashes when doing embedded simple drawings in OpenOffice writer (circles and lines with connections), I started using the versions from Sun then Oracle. I am now using version 3.3: openooffice.org3-3.3.0-9567. I've lived with this but with version 3.x it has gotten

I am in awe of the project you developed but wish to do something simpler. I have recently decided to give up on Microsoft Office and wish to use OpenOffice exclusively. In the past I have used the RODBC package to read data from excel files. Do you know how to read data directly from OpenOffice calc files into R? Farrel Buchinsky

Hi all, Has anyone upgraded OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 on Centos 5.3? Everything seemed fine but I have found 1 problem on Calc. The autofill does not work. Example, when I type "Jan" in cell A5 and drag the handle to cell D5, the Fill Settings dialog box pops up instead of the Feb, Mar, Apr filling in the cell automatically. When OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 from Sun is installed, it works.

The thread "R licensing query" currently running has raised the classic critcisms of using Excel for statistics. I was wondering: Has anyone applied the same or similar set of tests to OpenOffice "calc"? Or would the Executive Summary be: "Calc is just like Excel"? (Not that I'm a spreadsheet user, if I can avoid it; but I sometimes get asked about such

Hi, I removed the openoffice 1.1 release from my system (kernel 2.6.9) for install the full OpenOffice 2.1. But after trying to start the new soffice, nothing happen. (may be java problem ?)

Dear members of the R Development Team, I am looking for people with a deep understanding of R internals to assist in bridging R to OpenOffice. While R is a state of the art statistical environment, less experienced users often find it difficult to work with R. Therefore, I believe that a bridge between R and a spreadsheet program will make this transition less painful. I sincerely believe

I did a yum update last night at about 23h15 EDT (-4). No upgrade. I just did a yum update this morning at about 08h45 (-4). for my system there's about 348 megs of updates. Now all I have to do is figure out how to remove OO.o 2.0.whatever which is being upgraded to 2.3.whatever. I'm using 2.4.1 on my 4.6 boxes (have always been using the latest OO.o on them since installation a

Hi, Is there any way I can read a .docx file on my CentOS desktop ? Cheers, Niki

I'm trying to find a way to get remote connections from my Linux Desktop machine to a remote Linux box which is hosting a MySQL database, via SSH port 22, and then once connection is established, log in to the database port 3306 and have either an SSH and or SCP connection established so I can securely do edits and queries. I am able to connect this way from my Windows machine to remote

Hi, I recently migrated from Slackware 10.2 to CentOS 4.3, upon advice of fellow Slacker and CentOS user Daniel de Kok. Been working very intensively for the last three weeks with it, and I must say: I really like it. This is the Real Work(tm) Distro I was always looking for! There's a practical reason for this: beginning on June 1st I will be chief sysadmin of our village's town hall.

Since rpm from openoffice.org was not nicely integrate with Centos, what is the best way to make OO uptodate, can i use (or depend on) package from fedora (it slightly outdate but not too far from OO release). Having see the huge spec file (around 3700 lines), building it ourself is really not fun :( --beast

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my new install of OpenOffice 2.31 to find my newly installed Java Runtime Environment version jre1.6.0_04 (downloaded from Sun). I tried installing it via Tools>Options>Java (am using OpenOffice Calc to try to set it up). The options dialog box is finding the Free Software Foundation version 1.4.2, but it won't find the new JRE file. I tried

I had a corrupted installation of OpenOffice.org 3.1. When I used "yum remove openoffice.org-core" the response was "package openoffice.org-core available but not installed", but then, when I used "yum install openoffice.org-core there was a long list of Transaction Check Errors.
