Has anyone had success getting R-unix postscript plots into powerpoint for the Mac? Mac powerpoint doesn't seem to like postscript, and conversions to tiff, jpeg, and gif, using the netpbm converters, have produced less than stellar results (i.e. bitmaps with unaliases pixels, sigh...). Thoughts? The next one I had was to use GIMP (this is a linux system) to clean it up, and it worked, but

One thing that has driven me batty to no end is the fact that ESS doesn't handle R's "exit" well. Any thoughts as to the default? I'm thinking of something like: current: do what currently is done C-u Y C-c C-q : quit and save workspace C-u N C-c C-q : quit and don't save workspace. Comments? best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini Rsrch. Asst.

could we add an argument to suppress printing of levels for print.factor()? i.e.: print.factor <- function (x, quote = FALSE, print.levels = TRUE, ...) ## MODIFIED { if (length(x) <= 0) cat("factor(0)\n") else print(as.character(x), quote = quote, ...) if (print.levels) { ## ADDED cat("Levels:

Does one need to re-install libraries when going from 0.63.x to 0.64.0? best, -tony -- A.J.

Thanks to Tony Plate for letting me know what the abbreviate.arg option does. I think this could be made more flexible (I.e. =TRUE, =FALSE, =#, where # would be passed to the abbreviate min.length argument). But it follows the example I was given. "print.factor" <- function (x, quote = FALSE, max.levels=5, print.levels = {if (max.levels==0) FALSE else TRUE},

This example from the INSTALL help seems to be broken in R 0.90.1 (on Solaris): gilp/dse : R CMD check --help Usage: R CMD check [options] [-l lib] pkg_1 ... pkg_n I'm trying to figure out how to request more nsize and vsize when using R CMD check.

Anyone know what the problem is with IRIX 6.5 ? (esp if there is a solution?). Looks like the built-in math stuff is masking definitions from R source.

Duncan - (but sent to R-devel, for any other thoughts?) How do you envision RSPerl being used? Without having seen the details, I can think of playing with strings; is there a preferred incantation for stringification of R objects (serialization)? (actually, the main problem I'm having is that I know how I want to code something like: Robject <-

seek(zz,where=NewPosition) returns the OldPosition of connection zz (of the appropriate "pointer", i.e. read or write). Currently, the docs have: > Details: > > `seek' with `where = NA' returns the current byte offset of a > connection (from the beginning), and with a positive `where' > argument the connection is re-positioned (if possible) to

What's the current best approach to dealing with the nlminb problem? Are there other similar constrained optimizers, or is current wisdom just to code it in C (or similar...)? best, -tony -- A.J.

Hello, I checked mail list archives and this topic came up before in March '99 (about ability of R to multithread). At that time rossini at biostat.washington.edu (Tom Rossini) suggested to check his web page in a few month as it was on his list to-do. I checked but the web page is not valid. I wanted to know if in general progress has been made in the area, or if it is planned. I was also

You can use ESS and either XEmacs 21.0 (currently wrapping up beta) or NTEmacs, or Emacs(FSF) to edit files. IF the mingwin(?) or cygwin versions of R allow for command-line prompts rather than

There's a bit of a symmetry issue, which may or may not be important (led to 15 seconds of confusion until I got my bearings straight): row.names, rownames; colnames, no col.names? I _NOW_ realize the difference between row.names and rownames, but is there any reason not to have col.names for re-naming columns in a data.frame? (if there is, I don't particular need to know it, but it

In a quick search of the R website just now, I found no mention of a unit testing framework for R. I hope to find something in the style of Java's JUnit, or Python's unittest. Is such a thing available? Thanks, - Paul Shannon Institute for Systems Biology Seattle
