similar to: two help problems in R-2.0.0 for Windows (PR#7269)

Hi, I encountered this problem just before the 2.2.0 release. Then it went away for a while and came back at the beginning of this week. Here is what is happening (I am on Win2000 machine with all the necessary tools installed). I compile R-devel and R-patched trees every couple of days and install them in separate directories. Everything seems to work fine for R-patched. Compilation of

I cannot seem to get compiled help working with XP in neither 1.6 or 1.61. The ReadMe.rw1061 specifies: (ii) Compiled HTML files. Set this as the default by options(chmhelp=TRUE) or for individual help items by help(topic, chmhelp=TRUE). Full text search is available from the Search tab. According to Microsoft, to make use of this you will need to have IE3 or later installed and a recent version

Hello. I am using R 1.7.1 just downloaded on Win98. With the old 1.6.2 I had modified the etc/Rprofile file as etc/Rprofile # Things you might want to change # options(width=80) # options(papersize="a4") # options(editor="notepad") # options(pager="internal") # to prefer Compiled HTML help options(chmhelp=TRUE) # to prefer HTML help # options(htmlhelp=TRUE) # to

Here's another help file question. Some context: University setting wherein R is installed for availability to students and course instructors across campus in various PC labs. Windows Vista environment. Goal: To maximize flexibility and functionality of installing add-on packages and associated help files among different users, while avoiding conflicts across different user

I wonder if anyone who has worked on the win32 version of R could help me with a HtmlHelp question? When you're building a win32 program using mingw (in my case, cross-compiling under GNU/Linux), what import library do you use to link against the HtmlHelp() function? I have got a copy of MS's htmlhelp.lib, but mingw doesn't seem to like this format; it wants an archive in .a format.

I would like to use Rterm in Windows XP and have the help files appear in text format in the terminal rather than in the html popup window. For example, I would like to enter help(lm) and get the text to appear in the terminal window. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? Thanks and Happy Hew Year. Tom -- View this message in context:

I have a quick question about the browseURL function. When I use the function in a UNIX environment, I have to use two sets of quotations if I have the & symbol in the URL. For Windows I only need to use the first set. For example, on Windows: browseURL("http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Bioconductor&ei=UTF-8&fr=fp-tab-web-t&n=20&fl=0&x=wrt") will call up the

The default wine help reader, winhelp.exe, seems to have only a single font that it will display help files with. Unfortunately, this font appears really tiny and unreadable on my 1600x1200 screen. And there seems to be no easy way to change this font without diving in to the source (which is what I ultimately did). In what follows I will first describe my unsuccessful attempts to increase

Hello, as I just spent a (too long) while searching for a way how to persistantly switch back the help display routines from chm to text, here a small documentation how to do that with the windows version of R. The windows installer asks which help type you want to use, I wanted to test the chm version -- which I didn't like. If you after installation want to switch back, you have to edit

I saw that in rgl:::writeWebGL that "Polygons will only be rendered as filled; there is no support in WebGL for wireframe or point rendering.". I found that you can easily use contour3d to make reproducible contour web figures, such as (taken from contour3d help) library(AnalyzeFMRI) a <- f.read.analyze.volume(system.file("example.img", package=

Hi! I tried to use compiled html on the following system: NT4.0 SP6 (with _old_ IE3), R-1.0.1. R > help(ls, chmhelp=TRUE) ... but nothing happens ... >From the R Readme: "To make use of this you will need a recent version of Windows or IE4 or later installed, or use the updater hhupd.exe on CRAN at bin/windows/windows-NT/etc." So I used the updater

Hi I tried to customize help(), so it starts the compiled html help, and searches in all packages. I wrote the following function: > my.help function(topic){ help(topic, package=.packages(all=T), lib.loc=.lib.loc, chmhelp=T) } When I use it with >my.help(help) give the following error: Error in help(topic, package = .packages(all = T), lib.loc = .lib.loc, : No documentation

Inspired by the functions that Barry Rawlingson and Dave Forrest posted for searching Rwiki and R-help archive, I've made up a function that does the search on Prof. Baron's site (Thanks to Prof. Baron's help on setting up the query string!): RSiteSearch <- function(string, restrict="Rhelp", format="long", sortby="score",

Hi, I have a problem with my the R help system. I have been searching through the help archives but I can't find anything about it and I don't know how to specify my search better. When I type for instance "?hist", just the next command line prompt shows but nothing actually happens. There is no help window coming up. I already tried reinstalling R (2.2.1, windows XP) but that

Hi list, When I type my question in R console using ? sign (example: ?par, when I want to query for par), the following error message popps up: Error in print.help_files_with_topic("C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-24~1.1/library/maps/chm/map") : CHM file could not be displayed I appreciate if any body comes back to me with the solution.

Hi all, Here's a curosity I ran into since upgrading to 1.6.2 (precompiled for Windows). When using the chm help I get the following warning. I saw a recent post regarding this as a new warning (``dyn.load warning message in R1.6.2 on Windows XP'' dated 1/28/03), but not in the context of the help system. The warning only appears once and does not prevent the chm file from

In the example below graphisc and table are subsequent and not pair.. directory=getwd() myfile<-file.path(directory,"testHTML.html")

Hi, this is tangentially related to the recent discussion on vignettes. vignette() currently produces a listing of available vignettes, but these are not clickable. Since R has a browseURL() function, it seems natural to have a version that produces HTML with clickable links. Here's an attempt at that: source("http://dsarkar.fhcrc.org/R/vignette-browser.R") browseVignettes()

Dear list members, I've encountered the following problem with the Rcmdr Help menu in the development version of R 2.0.0 under Windows XP ("Version 2.0.0 Under development (unstable) (2004-08-20), ISBN 3-900051-00-3"): The main Commander window has a (tcltk) Help menu with three items, "Commander help", "About Rcmdr", and "Introduction to the R

Dear R Users, I've installed R with the chm option, but eventually I found I am more used to the normal way of latex help. Is there any argument to suppress chm help by default when starting R? So that I don't have to type something like >help(rle,chmhelp=NULL) I know the last resort would be to reinstall R. Thanks in advance! - J
