ok, i'm new to linux. i've just installed the latest ubuntu and updated eveything. there were a few programs that i used often under windows that i wanted to continue with. they are ConvertXtoDVD, CloneDVD and AnyDVD. i have wine 1.1.0 installed and i have installed all 3 of those programs and added them to the Applications section of wine. CloneDVD and AnyDVD both give the same error

I installed Java 1.6 update 5 and Firefox. Firefox works "okay", and some elements like Flash objects (videos on youtube and cartoons on AlbinoBlackSheep to name some examples) work a bit faster than they do on the native linux version of Firefox, so I wanted to try Java. My test subject was RuneScape. Well, after installing Java I set "java.exe" and "javaws.exe" to

I'm still very new to Linux and Wine. Please help. I have installed Wine 1.1.1 and have ConvertXtoDVD installed and working for the most part. The only part that I can't seem to be working is that it won't see my HP dvd1040 burner. When I go to the settings for the burner it gives me the option of choosing a drive but no drive is listed. Everywhere else within Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy I am

Folks, I have the following dataframe: > x <- structure(list(name = c("EU B", "EU B", "EU B", "EU B", "EU B", "EU B", "AU A", "AU A", "AU A", "AU A", "AU A", "AU A"), date = c("2010-10-11", "2010-10-12", "2010-10-13",

Hello, I'm trying to determine the width of a plotting point (in inches) in the grid package. I naively thought I could create a pointsGrob with only one point and get the width (as tried below), but this results in an object with a size of 0inches (changing cex has no effect). Does anyone have a better approach? Of course, it would be dependent upon the graphics parameters and viewport...

Still playing with Lattice... I want to use panel.text(x, y etc) but with x and y in plot coordinates (0,1), not user coordinates. I think if I had this problem with traditional graphics, I could use grconvertX to make the change. I did come across convertX {grid} but this doesn't seem to be what I need. Is there a function like grconvertX in Lattice, or is there a flag or some other

Hi All, I have been able to modify the x-axis to start at zero by adding xlow and xhigh parameters; that was pretty simple. I have been unable to find the location of the code that would turn off the information weighting of the box size (I have smaller randomized trials getting less weight than a much larger non-randomized trial). The function is forestplot() from rmeta. Thanks for any

Dear list, Following a recent enquiry, I've been playing with the idea of creating a colour gradient for a polygon, using the Grid package. The idea is to draw a number of stripes of different colours, using the grid.clip function. Below is my current attempt at this, library(grid) rotate.polygon <- function(g, angle=0){ # utility function, works fine matR <- matrix(c(cos(angle),

Hi: (Tried to find a bug report about this issue, but was unable to find it, let me know if this is a known issue) I have been working on an interface to highlight xyplot panels on mouse overs in JavaGD but I have stumbled with what seems to be a bug in trellis.focus. I am using R 2.8 with lattice 0.17-15 *** To replicate the bug: 1.- display an xyplot. For example, from the xyplot help page:

Has anyone considered using Markdown.pl or PHPME as an Apache handler for Markdown files? It would be very slick to post straight .text files and have them rendered behind the scenes, although for high traffic sites pre-rendering would obviously be much more efficient. I suppose I'd also want an escape hatch like daringfireball.net's, perhaps disabling rendering if the URL includes

I'm building a website that has a common header across lots of pages and I want to source in that header. How do I do this with markdown?

Dear R-sters, I was wondering if anyone has encountered the following issues. I've figured out how to get multiple levelplots [library(lattice)] on a single plot. However, when I add text (adding axis labels for the entire four panel plot) the text is missing when I insert the *.eps file I've created into my LaTeX document (via MikTeX-WinEdt). And, I've just upgraded to R

I was recently talking to a friend of mine who produces what's widely referred to as "techno", music that's heavy on electronically generated loops and effects, samples, and has plenty of bass. He doesn't like ogg for a few reasons - he sent me a rather long email, and I've stripped out the nonsense from it (he has some technically irrelevant reasons for not liking

hello, i'm getting a very strange error in my system logs. maybe someone can help out. the server is an hp-ux 11.00 box, running openssh 2.3.0p1, and the client is a redhat 6.2 box running the same version. running 'ssh -l root espage ls' from the hp box to the linux box yields this jem in the syslog.

Dear all, In an attempt to draw fill patterns in grid graphics, I have encountered a behavior of grobX that I cannot understand from the documentation. Consider this, library(grid) ## gTree g1 <- gTree(children=gList( rectGrob(0.5,0.5, width=unit(0.8,"npc"), height=unit(2,"cm")), circleGrob(r=0.3)), vp=viewport(0.5,0.5)) ##

Hi all, I'm a newer user of markdown & MultiMarkdown, and I'm looking for the perfect setup of software for my Mac and my Android phone. I'd like to have my drafts editable from both. What I want is an attractive Mac app for writing (primarily blog posts and emails) that saves its files as .txt . Most of them save as .md or .markdown instead, and since there doesn't seem to

I want to create a simple map from a Value to the instruction that defines it. Such a map is present inside SchedGraph, but I need it in a much simpler context. If I got it right, I create a new AnalysisGroup, and write a pass that implements it. What kind of pass should I derive it from? The mapping only makes sense within a function, so FunctionPass seems to be the right choice ... is that
