similar to: Line rendering in windows - bug?

How about this one? If I set a variable in a data.frame with a two- part name including a dot (say y.pair), and if the variable with the name of the first part (y) doesn't but I ask for it's value I get the value of the two-part name. Ie set fred$x.pair and print the value of fred$x it gives me the value I set to fred$x.pair. Weird and somewhat disturbing! Maybe an example makes it

There must be a simple answer. I want to plot an expression, where the expression is held in a string variable. The "obvious" solution along the lines of ex<-"x^2" plot( c(0,1), c(0,1), main=as.expression(ex) ) gives me the a title x^2 - ie doesn't treat it like an expression. I suspect I don't understand expressions properly. For the real problem I do need to

As I understand it lme (in R v1.9.x) estimates random effect variances on a log scale, constraining them to be positive. Whilst this seems sensible, it does lead to apparently biased estimates if the variance is actually zero - which makes our simulation results look strange. Whilst we need to think a bit deeper about it - I still haven't got my head around what a negative variance could

Anybody out there successfully using the Salford Fortran compilers with R? I have created a DLL using the Salford FTN95 compiler and it works in as far I can dyn.load it, run the routines and get the right answers back. Unfortunately subsequently, sometime later, the Rgui crashes (access violation I think from the DrWatson log). The crashes depend on whether or not I paste the code as one

Greetings. One for the developers I guess... I am having problems in using a (non-recommended) Fortran compiler (Salford ftn95 Windoze), and the crashes do seem to be associated with the ftn95-dervived DLL changing the Floating Point Control Word. The compiler people are suggesting (and I paraphrase!) that if R minds what the FPCW is it is up to R to make sure it is the value it wants and

Greetings. There seems to be a problem with the P-value computation in the cor.test with method="spearman". In R1.8.0 (MS Windows) I seem to be getting intermittently nonsense P-values, but the rho's are OK. I can get this reproducibly with the toy example attached where the first use is OK and subsequent calls with the same data give nonsense. (I have also seen the problem

Hi There, I have created the following function format<- function(){ repeat { form<-readline(paste("\nIn what format do you want to save these plots?\nChoose from: wmf, emf, png, jpg, jpeg, bmp, tif, tiff, ps, eps, or pdf.\nNote: eps is the suggested format for publication quality plots.\nPlot format --> ")); cat("\nI'm sorry, I don't know what that format

Greetings, I use S+, Stata, SAS and R depending on the weather... The script file editors in S+, SAS and Stata all allow me to submit a portion of a developing script file to the running process. In R I have to use an external editor and either source the entire file or do lots of copy-and-pasting. Are there any editors out there which interface to R more closely and let me submit a section

libEMF (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libemf/) looks like it may be the solution to generating WMF/EMF files on Unix. It's a general-purpose (LGPL) library that implements the EMF API ... (I was originally going to write to the list to ask why small circles appear to be filled (in src/gnuwin32/graphapp/gdraw.c) by generating a series of rectangles rather than using some kind of

Hi R users, I'm working on a autoreporting with the batch mode of R: I would like to save the graphs produced in wmf or emf. the problem is, it's working well with the R gui because we print on the screen the graph devices but not with the batch. I have used the function dev.print after encounter problem with win.metafile. Thanks Guillaume [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hallo, I've produced via R-0.62 several Life-tables 50*6 (mfrow=c(2,3)) as postscriptgraphs. The phd student, who asked for this, use word for windows--therefore i converted the whole stuff with pstoimg to gifs. Unlikly the result is not sufficient (I was told)... Is there a tool to convert ps to wmf/emf ? I looked for it but haven't found anything... Thanks for an answer Peter

Plaintive squeak: Why the change? Some OS's and desktops use the extension, so forgetting it causes trouble. The new default filename keeps a filetype (as before) but the user now has to type a filetype twice (once as the type, once as extension) to get the same effect fo rtheir own filenames. And the extension isn't then checked for consistency with valid file types, so it can be

The Wine development release 1.9.12 is now available. What's new in this release (see below for details): - Bug fix update of the Mono engine. - Initial version of a taskbar in desktop mode. - Fixes for right-to-left languages in Uniscribe. - More Shader Model 4 support in Direct3D. - Better metafile support in RichEdit. - Various bug fixes. The source is available from the

My apriori apologies if this is felt to be the wrong list for this issue - although it starts with R, it's a combination of programs that creates the problem. Currently we are using windows metafile format for in-text tables for reports created in Word. However, we've discovered some artifactual lines being created in our final output once the Word document is changed to PDF. The process

Hi, I wonder if someone could help. I needed to transfer (copy) a workspace file that had been generated in linux (R 2.11) to windows running the same version of R 2.11 (but of course windows binary). Usually, there is no problem in doing this and all objects work as expected. I am often doing this to be able to produce wmf or emf graphic files that I need. This time I had some spectra that I

Hi all I am doing some stats work for a group of biologists who require windows metafiles (*.wmf) for their publications. To create these, I appear to have two choices: 1. Restart my machine in Windows and use savePlot 2. Keep my machine in linux, save as another format, then convert. I'd rather stay in linux; but how do I get wmf files? I looked at using ImageMagick's convert,

Let me modify my question about user-defined covariance structures for LME models: Can somebody tell me how I can see the code for the definition of the correlation structures that come with the NLME package. Specifically I like to see the code for the functions coef, corMatrix, and intialize for any of the pre-defined correlation structures, and use this as a template to define a new correlation
