Dear R users New versions of the 'mvbutils' and 'debug' packages are now available on CRAN, both in source form and as precompiled binaries. 'mvbutils' offers the following (as well as many miscellaneous utilities): ? hiearchical, searchable project organization, with workspaces switchable inside a single R session, and objects in "ancestor" projects always

There is a new version of the 'debug' package (v1.1.0) available on CRAN. For existing users, the main changes are (i) some bug fixes, and (ii) it is now NAMESPACEd, so you can avoid naming conflicts with other packages. For new users, 'debug' is an alternative to 'trace' and 'browser', offering: * a visible code window with line-numbered code and highlighted

When replacing all elements of a column in a data.frame, a corrupt data.frame will be generated if the replacer is "short": test> bbb <- data.frame( x=1:2) test> bbb[,'x'] <- 3 # should fill the column test> bbb x 1 3 2 <NA> Warning message: corrupt data frame: columns will be truncated or padded with NAs in: format.data.frame(x, digits = digits)

Full_Name: Mark Bravington Version: 1.5.0 OS: Windows 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (140.79.2.3) In R1.3.1, I used the following code inside a function to set a "path" attribute to .GlobalEnv: env_ pos.to.env( 1) attr( env, 'path')_ .Path # .Path is a named char vector of length 1 .Internal( lib.fixup( env, .GlobalEnv)) # adds the attribute And this works fine. But in

Dear R-devel This one seems a bit arcane for R-help. I very often use R to call routines written in Delphi (son of Pascal), doing "persistent" memory allocation within Delphi. That is, I start R and load the Delphi DLL; then I use .C to call a Delphi routine which allocates a piece of memory X and returns to R a pointer to X; then I do some more stuff in R; then I call another Delphi

This is a question about namespaces and assignment. It's occasioned because one of my functions stopped working at about R1.6 with the arrival of 'namespace:base', and I'm anxious to find out what will happen when 1.7 arrives. But the question might be of more general relevance (hence my desire to get it in before "lockdown" on 9th April). I have a function

There's a problem new to R2.4.0 when rbinding an auto-row-named data.frame to a list: > rbind( data.frame( x=1), list( x=2)) Error in attr(value, "row.names") <- rlabs : row names must be 'character' or 'integer', not 'double' Works OK with 2 data.frames or 2 lists.

A bit late for Santa, but on my wish-list nevertheless: is there any chance that "scan" and "readLines" could be extended to take a parameter "until" or "EOF.marker", which would be a character string that (if encountered while reading) would cause the reading to stop, just as if an end-of-file had been found? [But leaving a connection open, so that

Hmmm-- still looks like a bug to me! But as I don't want to hog the airwaves, here's my last summary on this point, with a question: [Bravington] #> Prediction from the original data was just an example, of course; my general #> proposal is that inactive factor levels in the prediction set should be #> dropped. I don't see how this could ever cause inconsistent behaviour

Full_Name: Mark Bravington Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (203.132.243.69) # r-bugs at r-project.org There is a bug to do with 'load', environment access via '[[', and 'attr<-' or 'attributes<-'. Modifying the attributes of a *copy* of an object can modify the original too, under certain conditions: - the copy needs to be

Full_Name: Tom Short Version: 1.9.1 OS: Win2000 & Debian Submission from: (NULL) (64.65.255.41) WISHLIST: axis() has a default parameter of "lwd = 1". I want skinnier lines as the default. If I change the default lty, it doesn't change what axis uses. The following code produces a graph with a box around it, but the axis lines are twice as thick as the box around the plot, so

Thanks-- as Duncan Murdoch also noted, R_HISTFILE can be used to solve my problem, as below. BTW it's not easy to find out about R_HISTFILE in the help system or manuals, though, unless you already know it exists-- it only seems to be described under startup options, not things to do with history. However, Duncan's reply did hint at an inconsistency, in that savehistory() defaults to

Full_Name: Hsiu-Khuern Tang Version: 1.8.0 OS: GNU/Linux (Debian unstable) Submission from: (NULL) (156.153.255.243) Hi, I use palette(rgb(red=..., green=..., blue=..., names=mycolors)) to define my own color palette. After doing this, the names `mycolors' are not stored in palette() anymore, so that palette() returns a mix of built-in color names and RGB values. Eg: > palette()

Full_Name: Fabian Scheipl Version: 2.8.0 OS: Windows, Linux Submission from: (NULL) (138.246.7.150) It seems to me that the documentation for body<- is wrong. The help file for body(fun, envir = environment(fun)) <- value says that: value can be an expression or a list of R expressions. This produces errors however: ################################ > f <- function(x){} >

No objections from Martin or elsewhere, so I have now committed this. Thanks, Uwe.
