Is the swiss data set in R the same as S dataset swiss.x . I was trying out some clustering by doing the following that I got from Venables and Ripley's book. h<-hclus(dist(swiss.x), method= "connected") plclust(h) cutree(h,3) plclust(clorder(h,cutree(h,3))) I tried swiss instead of swiss.x, it doesnot seem happy. Thanks ../Murli

I would like to produce a bar plot with varying-width bars. Here is an example to illustrate: ww <- c(417,153,0.0216,0.0065,556,256,0.0162,0.0117, + 726,379,0.0358,0.0501,786,502,0.0496,0.0837, + 892,591,0.0785,0.0795) yy<-t(t(array(ww,c(2,10)))) barplot(yy[,2*1:5],las=1,space=c(.1,.5),beside=T) produces a barplot of 5 pairs of bars that are of equal width

Hello the R people. I'd like to calculate shortest distances between cities in one area from cities' coordinates. For this purpose, Splus has a function, "mstree" for calculating minimum spring tree. But for R, I couldn't find similar function. It seems that R has little function for OR(Operational Research). Does anyone know about availability of this method in R?

hello, i have some problems with mstree! there are no similar function in R like in S-Plus! Is there somebody who has a code in R ???? Thanks

Kurt The function tempfile is available based on some C code from Friedrich Leisch. The function unlink is fairly simple in unix but I haven't experimented elsewhere. In this regard, I have put together a small kernel set of functions to try to handle cross platform and R vs S issues. This is appended below and I would certainly appreciate feedback. The purpose of this kernel is so that I can

The monthplot function in S is useful for plotting seasonal data. It's not in base R or the ts package; is it in one of the contributed packages? (I've written a quick version for myself; if there isn't one generally available already, I'll make it public somehow.)
