I have some questions about 1. nomenclature, 2. recommended file locations and 3. overall procedure related to creating packages. To the extent that it matters, examples here relate to Windows XP R 2.0.1 beta. The questions are interspersed and prefaced with ***. My understanding is that there are actually 6 forms of a package that one should use in package development: 1.

Hi, I clustered a distance matrix and would like to draw it using plot.hclust or plot.dendrogram. The dendrogram is not informative because I have a few extremely small dissimilarities in the distance matrix (e.g. 0), but most of the other distances are in the range 1e10+-5000. I would like to show the tree only for the height of 1e10+-5000 but unfortunately their are no parameter like

Hi, I want to draw a scatter plot with 1M and more points and save it as pdf. This makes the pdf file large. So i tried to save the file first as png and than convert it to pdf. This looks OK if printed but if viewed e.g. with acrobat as document figure the quality is bad. Anyone knows a way to reduce the size but keep the quality? /E -- Dipl. bio-chem.

Hey everyone, I have been looking for a while for ways to integrate R's wonderful functions into my C++ software, but I have not found anything concrete. So finally, i post to this list to see if anyouse else knows about this, or has done it!? Is it possible? Are there C++ or C R libraries? Or is it sufficiently easy to build them? your help is much appreciated! thanks doktora

Hi, I am using R to plot the graph and the problem I am facing with my graph is that I have lots of points concentrated in one area and It is creating a visualization challenge. Is there any commands in R I could use to solve this problem. Even if there is no command, do you know how I could tackle this problem...(I want to separate these points so I could see each of them...) Any help is much

Hi, hres <- hclust(smatr,method="single") hresd<-as.dendrogram(hres) as.dendrogram(hres) `dendrogram' with 2 branches and 380 members total, at height 2514.513 plot(hresd,leaflab="none") #<-error here. #the plotted dendrogram is incomplete. The x axis is not drawn. #The interested reader can download the save(hresd,file="hres.rda") #from the

Hi- I used to use "<<-" to do assignment inside a class method, and just found that now it is broken in R 2.0. For example, the following code ----------------------------------------------------------------------- setClass( "myclass", representation(x="numeric") ) setGeneric("incrXByOne", function(obj) standardGeneric("incrXByOne"))

Hello, am I using 'setIs' in the correct way in the subsequent (artifical) example? Do I have to specify explicit 'setAs' for 'list' and 'vector' or should this work automatically, since "getClass("List1")" states an explicit coerce also for these classes. I'm working with R 2.0.0 Patched (2004-10-06) on windows 2000. Thanks for your

Hi, Would like to use to the hexbin package to plot a 2D hist - because it looks really _cool_. My problem is related to drawing a pdf hexbin graphic in series of other graphics. All other figures have a par(mar=c(3.2,3.2,1,1)). So the gplot.hexbin figure in this series looks a little alienated? Was trying a to specify the _mar_ using par, viewport, hexViewport etc. a little. My question. How

I have an S4 class with a slot of class "array", and in upgrading to 2.0.1 (from 1.9.1) I have encountered a change in behaviour. This causes me some difficulties if I want to allow 2-dimensional arrays in the slot. The following (in 2.0.1) illustrates the point: > setClass("foo",representation("array")) [1] "foo" > a <-

Hello, I'm hoping that there is an easier way to rename columns in a data frame other than by using the names() assignment, which requires you to type in all the column names at once for a data.frame, in the case that I simply want to rename a single column in a data frame. Also, is there an easy way to move columns in a data frame around relative to the other columns? Thanks in

This seems like a bug to me. Can someone verify this? First we define a function f that returns its second argument and lapply it to 1:2 using 9 as the second argument and all seems well. Note that "{" as a function does the same thing as f, as illustrated with f(1,9) and "{"(1,9); however, when we attempt to use "{" in the very same way we used f in lapply,

I have been struggling with this problem for a while and I hope someone could help me. Or if someone could point me to a section in the manual I would be grateful. x <- "my" plot(1:10, main=expression(paste( x, Delta, "values" ))) Q : How do I get the title to say "my (triangle symbol) values" ? The following trial-and-error produced mainly errors :

Hi! I encountered some things trying to build own packages under Windows 2000 for which i found no answer in the documentation. First. 1. I do not found the rcmd.exe in the bin directory of R_HOME. I installed R using the setup.exe 2. I updated the R intatllation with one of the zip files. (rw1041sp.zip) now i had the rcmd.exe in the bin. 3. I do not found any hint in the docu that perl is

Hi, How to add values to an array at any position. Asking because of the following: e.g. y<-c(0.1,NaN,0.2,NaN) #or data frame x<-na.omit(y) take some columns from x and do some computation with functions which do not allow NaN 's. After the computing add NaN's at positions stored in attr(x,"na.action") of the result vector. /E -- Dipl. bio-chem. Witold Eryk

Hi, Is the ordering of the values returned something on what I can rely on, a form of a standard, that a function called unique in R (in futher versions) will return the uniq elements in order of they first occurcence. > x<-c(2,2,1,2) > unique(x) [1] 2 1 Its seems not to be the standard. E.g. matlab >> x=[2,2,1,2] x = 2 2 1 2 >> unique(x) ans =

Hi, Please consider the following trivial example. In the sample code I first define a class MVCa using composition. This class contains a slot of type list. Next I define an inheritance relation using the function setIs -> MVCa "is a" list. Then I define a function printlength which prints the list-length which is defined for the type "list". If I call this function

Hi, I am trying to write an article for the Rnewsletter, but keep getting errors. I have googled around for some decent examples that contain figures, maths, etc but with no joy. Would any be so kind as to send me an example article in latex code? Cheers, Sam.

Hello, I try to document some R scripts for my collegues and observed the problem, that Sweave strips comment lines away. As a small example I write in an Rtex file: \begin{Scode} ## a small example test() # line comment \end{Scode} ... the .tex file generated by Sweave only contains: \begin{Schunk} \begin{Sinput} test() \end{Sinput} \end{Schunk} ... and all the comments are lost.
