similar to: Wrong text() adjustment with (math)expression and "\n" (PR#299)

Apologies in advance for the question. I am trying to draw a map of the US as a surface plot so that I would be able to drop bars on the different states (something like Uwe Ligges' scatterplot3d example 4). I am not sure where to start looking for such a beast. If anyone has any pointers, ideas, I will be grateful. TIA, Partha

Please don't take this the wrong way. There are a lot of extremely helpful people who subscribe to r-help. I was wondering if it is time to adopt a strategy a-la Splus help whereby people reply to the author and the author summarizes all the replies? Just a thought and have a good weekend. Partha

The example from the help page for strptime has the following oddity: > dates <- c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92", + "02/28/92", "02/01/92") > times <- c("23:03:20", "22:29:56", "01:03:30", + "18:21:03", "16:56:26") > x <-

But that doesn't put the result into the history buffer, to be written to a file only later when I savehistory(filename). Bert Gunter also suggested ?capture.output and ?textConnection, but I cannot see how to get text into the history buffer as comments, but with evaluated expressions (values). I know how to use paste, sink, write, etc. but nothing that I can see inserts into the history

I am in the process of setting up R1.3.1 on a new computer running windows 2000. I am having problems running the PFE text editor simultaneously within R for editing functions and outside R for editing ordinary text files. The PFE editor behaves as I expected, if it is opened in R AND but no other PFE window is open outside R. Similarly, it also works fine if I am editing a text file outside

Hello, I just pulled the patched release: R-release Version 1.0.0 Patched (March 19, 2000), on HPUX10.2 I am having dynamic library load problems. I configured with: ./configure --prefix=/home/absd00t/local --with-readline --with-x After changing etc/Makeconf to take -lblas out of libs (the blas library provided by the system is not a shared library), system was built without any interruptions.

Thanks to all who replied. Mostly the suggestion was to add the argument horizontal= FALSE to the postscript function. However, I was trying to generate a landscape graph. The "fault" lies with gs as Peter Dalgaard pointed out. Under Windows 95, gsview has an option to view landscape or portrait and therefore this problem does not arise on that platform.

I see that the definition of axis() has changed from 1.5.1 to 1.6.1 (as mentioned in the news file for 1.6.0). Axis now has a color argument to change it's color. However, the following command worked in 1.5.1: > axis(1, at = c(0.1, 0.2, 1, 5, 10), fg= gray(0.7), cex.axis = 0.8, col.axis= "red") #plot the axis in gray with annotations in red. The command no longer works in

While plotting a table using plot(table), I am not able to suppress the axes with axes = FALSE. Am I missing something or is it a bug? For example: > x <- c(rep(0, 7), rep(1, 4), rep(5, 3), rep(6, 4), rep(8, 10)) > table(x) > plot(table(x), axes = FALSE) #does not suppress the axes > plot(table(x), frame.plot= FALSE, axes = FASLE) #deliberate spelling

Appology in advance if this has been asked and answered. I am getting different answers using Fisher's exact test in the package ctest. For example: x_cbind(c(8, 22), c(31, 29)) fisher.test(x) Fisher's Exact Test for Count Data data: x p-value = 0.04024 alternative hypothesis: two.sided However, in SAS or other packages on the net the answer I get is p-value= 0.02664. Is this

Task: To generate HTML output from R Details: I am trying to serve up HTML output from R. That is analyses or table of data from R saved as HTML output with formatted tables etc. This file is then called in a CGI script to output to user browser. The CGI script inspired by Mark J. Ray reads the HTML output, formats the header and footer and any graphic output if necessary. My question is: Has

Hello, Perhaps I am missing something here about the function structure() (Platfrm etc. in the end? > structure(1:6, dim= 2:3) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 3 5 [2,] 2 4 6 > structure(1:6, dim= 3:2) [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 4 [2,] 2 5 [3,] 3 6 > structure(1:2, dim= 1:2) [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2 > structure(1:2, dim= 2:1) [,1] [1,] 1 [2,]

Dear R users, I have noticed that my R startup is extremely slow. It takes almost 3 minutes from "double-click" to R prompt. I have been running R-0.64.1 till recently and it took about 30 sec. I still have access to R-0.64.1. When I started it up, it took about 25 sec. Can anyone tell me if this is a bug in R or a problem with my machine? Note: This is after bootup with R being the

Hi All I am really very interested in starting to use R within our company. I particularly like the open source nature of the product. My company is a medical research company which is part of the University of London. We conduct contract virology research for large pharma companies. My question is how do we validate this software? I wonder if anyone else has had the problem and might be able to

I am calling plot() with argument pch as a vector of numeric symbol codes, the same length as x and y. Is there some code which produces no symbol - a blank - so that I can come back with a second call to points() and fill in these locations using a different fill color and a different symbol size ? There's always a work-around, but both x and y are generated on the fly by calls

Some days ago I asked for general methods to access SQL-Databases. Thanks to: Terry Westley [twestley at buffalo.veridian.com], partha_bagchi at hgsi.com, F.Tusell [etptupaf at bs.ehu.es], Michael Lapsley [mlapsley at ndirect.co.uk], Robert Gentleman [rgentlem at jimmy.harvard.edu], Torsten Hothorn [hothorn at statistik.uni-dortmund.de] Several solutions were suggested: (1) using Michael

We here at HGSI have a consultant doing some statistical work for us. HGSI bought and installed SAS, but our consultant insists that R and Rweb is a better solution. I do not know either package so I do not know, hence we are ditching SAS for R and Rweb. Any comments on this are welcom. Now for the real problem. Rweb is very expensive (time wise). The number of prereqs is way more than I thought
