Yes. pty is another, for example. > I think that in fact "mfg" is only meant to be queried. No. One use for setting mfg is to produce a page of plots in portrait orientation with, say, two small plots on the top half of the page

Frank at Frankscorner started me off then I found this list. I'm trying to run some software for an Open University course. I've never had recourse to Wine before. i'm running 20050111 I suspect I'm trying to run before I can walk. I've got no real idea what any of the following means WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32=n" wine dcom98.exe Please use the registry key

I'm getting some abuse for asking about R-Gnome and I don't think it is fair. I did not create that project, I was just asking how it was going and whether that other project would help out. Now I'm getting some email that says some of you don't want a GUI interface because you think interfaces like that are inconvenient. OK. I agree, in most cases. I think GUIs for model

I've created a Perl script that translates Microsoft Excel (.xls) files into comma-delimited text files (.csv) using the Perl Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module.

Back in 2005 I had been doing most of my work in Mathcad for over 10 years. For a number of reasons I decided to switch over to R. After much effort and help from you folks I am finally "thinking" in R rather than thinking in Mathcad and trying to translating to R. Anyway, the only task I still use Mathcad for is calculations that involve physical quantities and units. For example, in

The reasons are roughly summarized by the analogy that a smaller part of a big pie is often better than a bigger part of a small pie. Mathsoft's limited success in addressing the student market has

Hi everyone :) Does anyone know how to get Mathcad working in Wine? When I try to run the setup, I get this error: "the wizard was interrupted before mathcad 2001 professional could be completely installed. you system has not been modified. to complete installation at another time, please run setup again" I already looked in

I compiled and installed wine 1.1.8 (from src from winehq) probably 4 months ago...ish. I never tried printing until today after I installed MathCAD. My printer (which normally shows up in Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit) doesn't show up at all in wine. MathCAD and notepad both threw an error "Install a printer before trying to print" <- not exact quote. I tried installing bullzip pdf

Folks, Is there a parameter somewhere in RODBC that enables more columns to be retrieved from an Excel worksheet? # This next bit uses an undocumented call in RODBC z <- odbcConnectExcel("./BBaselinePtQaires_apr2011.xls") BQ <- sqlFetch(z, "BBaselinePtQaires") Gives me: z RODBC[1] And BQ 134 obs. of 59 variables I have all the rows in the worksheet but only the

Hi list, I just installed the rcom package and tried to read/give out some values from/to Excel. Altogether it works great... but nevertheless I don't know how the syntax works or in other words: "Which command needs which parameters?" Is there somwhere a manual about this package with good examples? I've read the Package description... but there are not really good

Hello, I''m using the spreadsheet/excel gem to generate an excel sheet that I want user to be able to download it once it''s generated.

Hi all, There have been quite a few threads in the recent months pertaining to the ability to directly write native Excel (.xls) files from R. For example, exporting R matrices and/or data frames to an Excel file, with perhaps the ability to create multiple tabs (worksheets) within a single file, with one tab/sheet per R object. There exists the xlsReadWrite package on CRAN by Hans-Peter Suter,

I?ve got an Excel workbook with about 30 worksheets. Each worksheet has 10000 rows of data over 30 columns. I?d like to read the data from each worksheet into a dataframe or matrix in R for processing. Normally, I use read.csv when interacting with Excel but I?d rather manipulate a multisheet workbook directly than set about splitting the original workbook and saving down each part as a csv.
