I have help files in several formats. Up until now I have converted nroff files to S-Plus 6 sgml and html files using Splus doc_to_S ... (creates .sgml file) Splus HINSTALL ... (creates .sgm and .html files) I maintain master help files in R .Rd files, and for some of my functions converting from .Rd to .sgm using R CMD Rdconv --type=Ssgm ... produces better .sgm files than beginning with

I have made some modifications to the X11 graphics driver so that it is more flexible about its use of colors. I have added a new parameter to the X11/x11 function which controls this. The parameter is currently called "colormodel" and works as follows: colormodel = 0 Monochrome graphics colormodel = 1 Grayscale (256 shades) colormodel = 2 Pseudocolor1 colormodel = 3

A set of patches for R-0.50-a1 is now available as ftp://stat.auckland.ac.nz/pub/R/R-0.50-a1.patch1.gz The patches mainly fix problems reported since R-0.50-a1 but some older problems are also fixed. Here is the list of changes. Ross o Many subsetting and mutation problems with the new "expression" type have now been fixed. o When ask=T is set in par() the user is instructed

Ok, I did the following experiment dyn.load("/usr/local/lib/libf2c.so.2.0") dyn.load("try.so") .Fortran("try", 10.5) where try.so contains the following compiled subroutine subroutine try(x) double precision x write(*,*) x return end It worked just fine (at least here on my FreeBSD machine at home). So it seems that it will be

(1) ?cbind claims The generic functions `cbind' and `rbind' take a sequence of vector and/or matrix arguments and combine them as the columns or rows, respectively, of a matrix. Note: The method dispatching is not done via `UseMethod(..)', but by C-internal dispatching. Therefore, there's no need for, e.g., `rbind.default'. but my cbind.ts

Here is a proposal: At present when you specify a color with an integer it is taken as an index into a fixed table of 8 colors. 1=red, 2=green, 3=blue, 4=cyan, 5=magenta, 6=yellow, 7=white, 8=black [At least this is the intention, there may be bugs in the implementation]. Since I am looking at this anyway (to see if I can see the bug that Martin and Kurt have mentioned) I thought I might

Martin Your revisions to my S--R compatability code suggest that tempfile() is in R after 0.49. I don't find that to be the case.

The packaging/lsb/rsync.spec file is broken as shipped: It has a "Sept" month (rpmbuild here takes only 3-letter month names), and RH gzips the manpages, so the %files list can't find them. I also added doc/README-SGML and doc/rsync.sgml to the %doc files. Patch follows. Thanks for all the good work! --- rsync-2.5.6/packaging/lsb/rsync.spec.orig 2003-01-28 06:28:35.000000000 +0100

I'm interested if anyone can help me to the R to display multiple data elements on one graph - just a simple graph, nothing fancy. I can't seem to find an example of this. An example of what I'm looking for is, say, a CPU graph which graphs user, system, and idle time as a cumulative stack representing each data element as a different color. See the following URL for an example

>> ------------------------ >> R & R, any comments? >> ------------------------ At present the parser makes the decision on what characters can go into symbol names based on isalpha(c). If someone will send me a function - say isidchar(c) which returns 1 for characters which can be in identifiers and 0 otherwise, I will replace the current test with that. Ross

Folks, Samba version 2.0.5a, as shipped with RedHat Linux 6.1.

Jeez I dunno - it compiles perfectly and you guys get excited just because it doesn't work :-) I have to admit to being baffled about what happened (I'm SURE this was working not long ago), but here is a quick fix. The problem is in the function "GetCharInfo" in the file src/unix/PostScript.c. The fix is to change the statement if(nchar < 0) return 0; to if(nchar <

I appeal to those entrusted with the keeping of the R flame, the S flame, and the S-Plus flame to relate a bit of history. How did S, S-Plus, and R get their names? Going from S to S-Plus appears clear, a commercial company purchased rights to S, developed a product that they wanted to indicate was related to S, but was more fully developed. This leaves me with only a rumor how S got its original

1) I have been working on making R libraries more like those in S. I thought it might be advisable to discuss the ideas before springing them on you. What I have done is changed things so that each library has its own frame on the search path. E.g. > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv" "library:base" > library("eda") > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv"
