Hi Folks, I'm curious for an explanation of the following -- it's a matter of trying to understand how R parses it. I've written sundry little "helper" variants of functions, in particular plot(), to save repetitively typing the same options over and over again. For example: plotb <- function(x,...){plot(x,pch="+",col="blue",...)} This does exactly

Hi, I need a help. I am new in R and I need to run a nested anova with fixed and random factors (Mixed Model). I have a design with three factors: Day, Area and Plot and the dependent variable is density. The factors Day and Area are fixed while Plot is random, factor Area is nested in factor Day, and factor Plot is nested in Area. I can do it using aov by: mod1<-aov(density~ day +

Please forgive me if this has been asked before but I could not readily find an answer. First, from the example I was able to determine that graphics device commands such as plot can be redirected using 'png' and 'bmp' type commands. I tried this and it works as I understand it. The question is how this graphics device works. If I issue another 'plot' command will it also

Hello! I have a program in Fortran and would like to build a matrix with random numbers, I have a function in C. However, I have problems with the use of function in R.

I installed R-2.1.0 from source on a Linux box running Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 but install.packages() wouldn't work (see below). When I install R-2.0.1 from RPM on the same system, everything is fine.

Hi, I often use the mod() and instring() functions that are available in the clim.pact package. This package has a lot of dependencies, including installation of netCDF, and I haven't yet been able to get library(clim.pact) to work on a Mac OS 10.4.6. A previous request for help with the Mac problem yielded no results, so now I wonder if I could just extract the definitions for the couple

I am trying to process text fields scanned in from a csv file that is output from the Windows database program FileMakerPro. The characters onscreen look like regular text, but R does not like their underlying binary form. For example, one of text fields contains a name and a number, but R recognizes the number as something other than what it appears to be in plain text. The character string

I would like to use a map or aerial photo as a background to plotting solid lines and text, and semi-transparent color contours, in base and lattice graphics. Plot coordinates need to be consistent with the georeferenced background. For example, a color contour plot would have an gray-toned aerial photograph as a background for overprinted semi-transparent color contours of some spatially

Hi, I'm trying to install rimage on a Mac OS X 10.4 machine. I followed the advice in previous R-help threads and got over the hurdles of having the header files in the right places, among other things. But I can't figure out what to do with this error. ice.pnl.gov:/home/waichler<949>system_profiler -detailLevel mini SPSoftwareDataType Software: System Software Overview:

I am using levelplot() from lattice with grids that have unequal cell sizes. This means that the boundary between two cells is not always half-way between nodes, as levelplot() assumes. The result is that some cell sizes are rendered incorrectly, which can be painfully obvious if using relatively large cells. Is there any work-around? I am using the conditioning capability of lattice and

I would like to generate a vector having the same length as the number of rows in a matrix. The vector should contain an integer indicating the "group" of the row, where identical matrix rows are in a group, and a unique row has a unique integer. Thus, for a <- c(1,2) b <- c(1,3) c <- c(1,2) d <- c(1,2) e <- c(1,3) f <- c(2,1) mat <- rbind(a,b,c,d,e,f) I would

I am looking for examples of how to plot with contour3d() to a PNG or PDF file, add axes and other elements to the isosurface plot, and use contour3d in conjunction with lattice. Regarding lattice, I'm not necessarily looking for conditioning on the data shown in the isosurface plots, just a way to show multiple plots in one figure and label them. I am new to the packages misc3d and rgl.

I can't find a way to change just the panel background color in lattice. I would like NA regions in levelplot() to appear black. I've tried the trellis.par.set() stuff, but it it makes the background of the whole graphic black. Thanks, Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scott.waichler _at _ pnl.gov

I would like to create a barchart that has vertical instead of horizontal bars. My goal is something similar to Figure 6.10 (p. 166) in "The Basics of S and S-plus," except for the orientation of the bars. I don't think bwplot() or xyplot() will work. Any suggestions?

Dear R-users, Does anybody know a good way to create and use several graphical devices at the same time in interactive mode? Ideally, I'd like to open 2 to 3 devices and assign names to them. This way, I could make any addition/modification/update to a particular device using its name. I did not see anything like a name argument in ?X11. Is there an alternative? Thanks in advance for your

For a long time I've wanted a way to conveniently extract multiple elements from a list, which [[ doesn't allow. Can anyone suggest an efficient function to do this? Wouldn't it be a sensible addition to R? For example, alist <- list() alist[[1]] <- list() alist[[1]]$name <- "first" alist[[1]]$vec <- 1:4 alist[[2]] <- list() alist[[2]]$name <-

I get faulty output from seq.dates() if I specify a length that is too long. For example, I ask for 129 months in the following call to the function, but it returns 131: > R.version.string [1] "R version 1.9.1, 2004-06-21" > startdatetime <- chron(dates="01/01/1995", times="00:00:00") > beg.month.datetimes <- seq.dates(from=startdatetime,

I have a script containing an xyplot() to print to a postscript file, followed by dev.off(). When I source the script, the dev.off() seems to cut off the xyplot() execution before it is finished. The resulting postscript file has about the right size, but it appears blank when I try to view it. If I manually execute the xyplot(), then wait for the return of the R prompt before executing

I'm making some 3D plots with contour3d from misc3d and wireframe from lattice. I want to view them from below; i.e. the negative z-axis. I can't figure out how to do so. I would like my point of view looking up from below, with the z, y, and x axes positive going away. Can anyone tell me the correct settings for screen to achieve this? Here is what I've found so far:

I can't get Emacs to automatically do syntax highlighting of Sweave files. I have followed Friedrich's suggestion for code to insert into my .emacs file. The complete section from my .emacs file is given below. When I load a *.Snw file, font is white until I press M-x, then the first code and document chunks get highlighted, but not the rest of the file. Latex and Noweb menus are
