Ah, I'm using Exceed Hummingbird 7.1 as the X server.... It does have fixed width fonts, and it is happy with variable width fonts up to this extreme .... A little more fiddling shows that this succeds with a linux based X11 server, and that even plot(1,1) par(family="mono",cex=8) text(1,1,"foo") segfaults. I've tested values of cex. Anything above 2.1249

Yes, par(family="mono") would work, except that I get R segfaults from this sequence: > > plot.new() > par(family="mono") > par(cex=8) > strheight("foo") Process R segmentation fault (core dumped) at Mon Dec 20 16:07:56 2004 on R 2.0.1 (2004-11-15), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 In my code I call strheight and strwidth several times in

Looking over the contents of various packages, including my own, it is clear that lots of things end up 'hidden away' in packages where they don't belong. My gregmisc package is a particularly egregious example, containing something from almost every functional category. I propose that from time to time the R community go through the complete set of packages and 'refactor'

Let me redirect the topic a bit. I've been considering unbundling gregmisc. The pro would be that people would find the component packages (i.e. gdata) more easily. The con is that the packages have a number of interdependencies, so you pretty much will need to get most of them anyway. As the latest gregmisc bundle contains a gregmisc package that is just a stub that depends on and loads

I'm seeing an odd error message when running R CMD check gregmisc with R-1.9.0beta_2004-03-22.tar.gz * checking package dependencies ...

Important Changes --------------------------- - Now a package bundle For this release, gregmisc has been split into a bundle containing 4 separate packages: gdata, gmodels, gplots and gtools. All of your favorite functions are still present, but they are now better organized into thematic groups,

Hi All, Since I changed the gregmisc package into a bundle, I almost daily questions asking how to get the individual packages contained in the bundle. The standard example arises when someone attempts to install and then use my 'genetics' package which depends on the 'gdata' package contained within the 'gregmisc' bundle. The install succedes, but when the user does

I have a revised version of the gregmisc package, which I've converted into a package bundle each of which has a namespace: gplots, gmodels, gdata, gtoools. Of course, there are interdependencies among these namespaces: gsun374: /tmp [11]> cd gregmisc/ gsun374: gregmisc [12]> grep import */NAMESPACE gdata/NAMESPACE:importFrom(gtools, odd, invalid, mixedsort)

The cygwin 'cygpath' command can now convert arbitrary windows and unix paths into the short ms-dos 8.3 equivalents. This tools might allow the windows build system to better deal with those messy long Windows file and directory names that contain spaces. EG: warneg@GRDGROL99X1028: src [1]$ pwd /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/WarnesGR/My Documents/cygwin_home/src/gregmisc/src

The link from http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/gregmisc.html to the windows package gregmisc_2.0.0.zip is broken. Also, could the appropriate email address for reporting web site problems please be added to the website in some conspicous place? Gregory R.

With the recent changes in R 1.9.x, it is now impossible to properly call plot on a formula() where the formula is provided via a named first argument.

Hi All, I've been working on updating the 'genetics' package. As a consequence of the upgrade, .First.lib() looks like: .First.lib <- function(libname, pkgname) { if (!require(combinat)) warning("Unable to load 'combinat' library. Function `diseq.ci' will fail.") require(gregmisc) genotype <-
