Is the anonymous CVS repository for R presently broken? There haven't been many updates coming through and the repository files seem to differ significantly from the rsync version of R-devel...

Dear all, does anyone know if there exists an effort to bring some kind of distributed computing to R? The most simple functionality I'm after is to be able to explicitly perform a task on a computing server. Sorry if this is a non-informed newbie question...

Dear r-bugs, I down loaded the R-1.4.0.tgz But cannot unzip or install. I would be grateful if you could give some help. My system is Microsoft windows.

Hello folks, I'm embarking on a project to embed R into the Apache web server, and I'd like your help. Currently, I'm looking for a way for R code to call back into a shared library from which the R shared library was loaded. Essentially, apache starts and loads mod_R.so which runs an initialization routine which calls Rf_initEmbeddedR() and the following code: /* override to

Full_Name: Byron Ellis Version: 1.2.3 OS: Windows 2000 Server Submission from: (NULL) (140.247.105.95) In Rgui when attempting to resize the console the system locks for a second (cursor locks up, etc) and then either returns to normal for a second before crashing or just crashes when we start moving again (the former happens more often when making things bigger, the latter when the console is

Full_Name: John Abraham Version: rw1031 OS: Windows 2000 Professional Submission from: (NULL) (136.159.125.21) A friend introduced me to "R", and it seems just what I need -- a good statistical package with an open source flavour so that, if it doesn't do what I need it to do, I can extend it. I installed the latest windows binary, and when I try to run it I get a window

Has anyone taken a shot at a Cairo graphics device yet? I half expected to see one on either Paul's pages or Omegahat. :-) --- Byron Ellis (ellis at stat.harvard.edu) "Oook" -- The Librarian

Hi all (especially R-core) I suppose, With the introduction of the new functional programming functions into base I thought I'd ask for a Curry() function. I use a simple one that looks this: Curry = function(FUN,...) { .orig = list(...);function(...) do.call(FUN,c(.orig,list(...))) } This comes in really handy when using say, heatmap():

Its never a problem because builds aren't done against C++ compilers, but its still an error (just a low priority one). also, you could change that to #ifdef __cplusplus extern

Philippe Grosjean raised the question of transparency in the context of writing Windows metafiles, but it has come up before for bitmapped graphics. I've taken a look in the sources, and what we do now is inconsistent. The postscript/xfig/pdf devices do not paint the background iff it is "white". All the screen devices always paint the background, as do the bitmap devices and all

Some quick questions about S4 methods. Does the typing of S4 methods mean that lazy evaluation is no longer possible? It seems that you would need to evaluate the arguments to determine their type at dispatch. Second, what role, if any, do default arguments play in S4 methods? I notice that you can put default arguments into generics but that the dispatch is still done on the type of the

I have some C data I want to pass back to R opaquely, and then back to C. I understand external pointers are the way to do so. I'm trying to find how they interact with garbage collection and object lifetime, and what I need to do so that the memory lives until the calling R process ends. Could anyone give me some pointers? I haven't found much documentation. An earlier message

So PCRE dropped into R-devel recently, I tried just dropping 3.9 (latest version) into src/extra/pcre and compiling on Win32 but its dying during the final link (undefined reference to 'pcre_free') is there some special magic I'm missing or do I get to hunt this one down on my own?

I encountered some wierdness when building R-devel (latest rsync) on OSX using commandline tools (as opposed to the Carbon GUI and whatnot...probably just laziness on my part but it generally works :-)). At any rate, sometime between 2002-07-05 and the present the configure scripts started setting INSTALL_DATA to ${R_HOME}/bin/install -c in Makeconf...which causes wierdness for the Mac OSX

Hi, 1. I started work on a metapost graphics driver a week or so ago and it is gradually taking shape. I'm building up my own test cases into a script as I go, but figured you may have a "canonical testing script" of cases a driver must handle? 2. The clipping function looks like being a tricky problem. It seems to me that the callers of the driver assume that clipping affects all

Hello, I like much addTaskCallback() and friends. However, there are situations were we would like to have a function run BEFORE, not after every top-level tasks. I think specifically to reset options(width = ) to accommodate to the current width of the console, using something like: options(width = system("tput cols")) I am sure there are many other situations where this could be

Greetings R developers, R will run a little faster when executing "pure R" code if the function R_CheckStack() is modified. With the modification, the following code for example runs 15% faster (compared to a virgin R-2.5.1 on my Windows XP machine): N = 1e7 foo <- function(x) { for (i in 1:N) x <- x + 1 x }

Hi For all developers of add-on graphics devices: please note the existence of deviceIsInteractive() for adding your device to the list of devices for which dev.interactive() returns TRUE.
