Hi all, After a short hiatus away from R I have found that it's changed a bit. I used to keep a definition of .First in .Rprofile that did a couple of things on startup (load a couple of libraries). Now, I've discovered that when I change the definition of .First in .Rprofile it doesn't change anything when I start up, because .First is held over in .Rdata from the last session.

Hi, I wanted a Q&D way to open a new graphics window but keep the focus in the console window (under Windows and the Rgui), so I wrote a line into my Rprofile.site file as follows: invisible(makeActiveBinding('newdev', function(...) dev.new(restoreConsole=T), .GlobalEnv)) (That is all on one line, incase the mailer re-parses it). This gives me a command "newdev" which

NOTE: WinXP, R2.2.0 All, a while back I posted a question about using relative filereferencing. The responses have allowed me to successfully set up the following directory structure: ...\data\raw ...\data\derived ...\prog ...\lst ...\log In the \prog directory I have put an RGui.exe shortcut and "pointed it" at \prog as the "Start In" location. In the same

Dear R developers, i would like to start R with a *.RData argument under Linux. Something like R -f /home/user/workspace.RData Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any answers. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Execute-R-with-*.RData-argument-tp16323374p16323374.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

It could be that the following may be due to something wrong that I managed to do (I cannot think what...) but I submit this report in case it is something that you want to know about (I have solved the problem by removing .Rprofile as I describe below). 1. After compiling/installing R 0.90 (an uneventful process), it worked perfectly the first time, and it read .RData written by the previous

As Jeff says, it might be that you have a ~/.Rprofile file with instructions to load packages when R starts. It could also be that you have a .RData file, which is saved if you answer yes to: > Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: y when you quit R. If this file exists, then R loads it and all the objects you had when you saved it. If there are objects associated with packages, then that will

Can you be more specific about what conditions cause R to automatically load a package when a .RData file is loaded? My experience has actually been the opposite.

I use the ugly hack shown below as my .Rprofile (mainly because I couldn't find any other way to spawn a new mozilla window on starting R or calling help.start(), but then send all the help html documents to that new window). With a recent change from a cvs checkout to the released 1.9.0 I find that the new hs() appears if there is nothing of that name in .RData, but if there is the old hs()

Hi, I have problem with the restore function in some .RData using R 1.9.0 Look the error: [ronaldo at zeus RAnalise]$ R ... Error: object 'family' not found whilst loading namespace 'MASS' Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData But if I load this .RData with the load() function all objects are recovered. [ronaldo at zeus RAnalise]$ R --no-restore-data ... > ls()

For reasons that are best known to myself [ ;-) ] I have a value of .Random.seed saved (via dput()) in a file ``.Random.seed.save''. In my .Rprofile I have the lines: .Random.seed <- dget(".Random.seed.save") Junk <- dget(".Random.seed.save") print(all.equal(.Random.seed,dget(".Random.seed.save")))

Just a word to mention that I have lost 2 hours yesterday to find out why R refused to use a function from a package calling C-code. R invariably answered that the C code was not in the load table (something like this). I have tried everything (or nearly) to solve my problem knowing that this same package used to work on my computer at the university. Finally, I found out that running the same

I am having difficulty coming to grips with Appendix B.2 of the otherwise very useful "An Introduction to R" and the related help file for Startup. I am running RGui 1.6.0 on a Windows 2000 machine from the default installation. How the concepts discussed in B.2 and the Startup help file relate to what I see on my machine is something of a mystery. I quote from the Startup file:

Hi, I want to use the .RProfile to set defaults such as text editor. Is this a file I need to create? Also, where should I put it? I tend to create .RData files for different projects, putting each in a different Windows (Vista) folder. Is one .Rprofile file created that any instance of R can access (I would imagine so)? Thanks, Walt -- ________________________ Walter R.

I've seen a number of issues with the loading of workspaces discussed previously, but here's another one... I simply can't load any saved workspace at all... Here's an example, starting with an empty workspace and creating a single variable "a". > a<-1:5 > save.image("a.Rdata") > rm(a) > load("a.Rdata") Error in function ()  : unused

Hi, recover() resorts to dump.frames() when called in non-interactive sessions. However dump.frames() still puts the dump into last.dump object and not into a file, which brings the question of how to get hold of the object once the session terminates. I guess the supposed answer is that last.dump is saved in .Rdata once R exits. However I find it more convenient on day-to-day basis to use

I think I did enough reading on my Own about startup ( part of the morning And most of this afternoon ) to not feel uncomfortable asking for confirmation of my understanding of this startup stuff. Obviously, the startup process is more complicated Than below but, for my R newbie purposes, It seems like I can think of the startup process as follows : Suppose my home directory =

Hello, I am unable to start an R session by double-clicking on an existing .RData file from the Windoze file explorer. A dialogue appears with the message "Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData", and I notice in the R Console the last few lines are: "Loading required package: R2HTML NULL error in function () : unused argument(s) (1:43)" I tried starting

I don't want to bother anyone with specific questions because I am a R newbie and I see that there is TON ( emphasis on Ton ) of documentation out there but could someone just tell me the best placed to look/read for learning about ( for R-2-2.1 in Windows ) .Rprofile .REnviron. .Rdata .First function ( analogous to the one in Splus ). Analog of Splus Chapter Basically, I want to
