Dear R devolepers! Wouldn't you change src/main/devPS.c file (patch will follow). Problem is with minus sign in ps output. The original code forces the name /minus to the character number 45 (-). But /minus symbol is not defined in standard Adobe encoding and (even worse) is not defined in most type1 fonts (where the name /hyphen is used instead), in this case you will have an empty

Hi, I'm aware of the definition of a "valid filename" in .SweaveValidFilenameRegexp, but I think it might be better to quote the filename when it contains spaces instead of just giving a warning. This should bring us safer LaTeX code (although I never use spaces in paths). Here is the simple patch: Index: src/library/utils/R/SweaveDrivers.R

Hi all! To add to my previous posting I want to give some more deatils give a more precise I want to print a hyphen to a pdf() or postscript() device. As the documentaion of postscript says ASCII Character 45("-") is mapped to a minus sign (ASCII Character 95) by default. The advice given is to use "\173" for a hyphen. But, the following code produces a curly brace instead

Hello, I am trying to tag some ogg vorbis files with hyphen "-" in the comment field. For e.g. album name = Example - EP. But this is being displayed as ALBUM=Example ALBUM=EP Is there no way we can have a hyphen in the comments section?

Hello, R users, I have a long list with over 20,000 elements (say foo), now I want to make a sub list of 30 elements from this list using the component names such as subname<-c( "a", "b", "d", "f", "g", "h", "o", "q",...). One way to do it is to make rest of elements in the list NULL, that is too silly. Is there

Dear List, I have a series of nested loops with the structure shown below, and I am struggling to figure out how to divert output to folders created with dir.create() within the loops. What I need is for the output to end up as topNameK/subNameL/objNameM.pdf; what I get instead is a series of directories topNameK/, directories subNameL/, and files objNameM.pdf, all in the working directory. Any

Dear All, I have been using Sweave (mainly via the Sweave.sh script) and really like it. I am working a paper (using Sweave, of course) which includes several time-consuming computations, and it gets tedious to re-compile the whoel thing every time I made changes. Then I discover the "cacheSweave" package, which seems the right solution to my problem. I only have on problem. Here is

[resent, plus small addition; I do not understand why gmail sent a weird charset.] Dear R wizards: I would love to write a general function that matches the slope of a plotted line in an xy-plot at a particular x,y location. something like x<- (1:10)^2; y<- 40:50; plot( x,y, type="l", xlim=c(0,90) ) srt.at5 = text.at.current.plot.with.slope( x, y, 5); text(

Are there any RPM wizards out there that know how to specify a different architecture for a subpackage in a spec file? I have a package that has a binary component and a non-binary component that I would like split into 2 packages one, the binary which is architecture dependant and the other 'noarch'. I haven't found a spec file that does this yet :-( Ross S. W. Walker

I''m attempting to mash together Adva CMS'' Fckeditor and the Fckeditor plugin provided by Scott Rutherford. http://blog.caronsoftware.com/2008/6/21/fckeditor-plugin-0-5-1-released The Scott''s plugin has a controller than handles the Fckeditor file upload and browse, but it errors out on the following lines. def upload_directory_path uploaded =

To Whom It May Concern: I have noticed that all of the hyphens ("-") are changed to periods (".") when I try to read.table() and the headers contain "-" I am using R 2.13 on a RedHat system. Here is the situation: I have the following a tab-delimited text file saved as test.txt File1-a.txt File1-b.txt File2-a.txt File2-b.txt 1 1 2 1 1 2 3 2 1 1 2 3

I''ve been unserializing XML in PHP with the XML_Serializer class, and I''m wondering if anyone knows of such a class for Ruby. Nothing fancy, just perhaps a simple way of converting arbitrary XML to a Ruby object. Maybe this has been implemented somewhere already? Thanks, Raymond

According to http://www.rpm.org/api/4.4.2.2/specfile.html a Version: tag can contain a hyphen, as the tarball for the source I am compiling is named 2.3-pre4 etc. When I try to build it I get an error about the illegal char? Anyone know about the discrepancy between the docs and RHEL's rpmbuild? Without recreating a new tarball and bungling the name how does one gracefully handle this?

Hi all, I've come across an issue caused when I try to set the query parser's default op to OP_PHRASE: Xapian raises an Unimplemented Error if the query contains hyphenated words or other terms that implicitly generate a phrase. This can be shown with the following Python extract: >>> from xapian import * >>> qp = QueryParser() >>>

Dear all I've just tried the brand new 'grdevice' option in Sweave but couldn't make it work. When I declare \SweaveOpts{grdevice=pdf} or \SweaveOpts{grdevice=cairo_pdf} trying to plot something simple <<fig=T, echo=T>>= plot(1:10,1:10,main='Some title') @ would result in an Sweave error: 18:16:47.299: 1 : term verbatim 18:16:47.308: 2 : echo term verbatim

R has had the ability to generate pdfs with transparent colors for a couple of years now using pdf(..., version="1.4"). By default, Sweave uses just 'pdf' (without version 1.4), so a hack is needed when using Sweave to create pdfs with transparent colors. See http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/11/6655.html I would find my work process simpler if R defaulted to
