Small suggestion for the documentation: Should the = operator for assignments, described on http://developer.r-project.org/equalAssign.html, now be included in the operator table in doc/manual/R-lang.texi? If so, one possibility could be after lines 1096/7: @item @code{<-} @tab Left assignment, binary @item @code{=} @tab Left assignment, binary Also, where is the best place to send

Dear all, I would like to suggest the following changes to the R documentation: 1) R-exts.texi: Having had my first experience with uploading a package to ftp://cran.R-project.org/incoming/, I think it would be nice if the documentation pointed out that one should use ftp and not sftp (at least on my machine sftp failed to make a connection) and that one should log in as user

G'day all, after issuing `svn up' on my machine this morning, I noticed that `make info' choked on R-exts.texi. Below is a patch that seems to solve the problem. BTW, while `make info' runs now, I still get the following warning: /usr/bin/makeinfo --enable-encoding -D UseExternalXrefs -I/opt/src/R-devel-src/doc/manual /opt/src/R-devel-src/doc/manual/R-exts.texi

Hi, Is this sufficient? if (.Machine$sizeof.pointer==4){ cat('32\n') } else { cat('64\n') } Or is it better to test something in R.version, say os? I'd like to use this to specify appropriate linker arguments when building the RMySQL windows package. Jeff -- http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/JeffreyHorner

A professor here at Vanderbilt sent me the following code. Each of the text strings should right justify against the center vertical bar, but because of font issues it doesn't. I understand that there are workarounds, but I was just curious if this was consistent across all platforms. On linux with R 2.7.1 and R-trunk (r46103), both acrobat reader 8 and kpdf render it incorrectly. How

In R-2-4-branch r39548, Rcons_vprintf is called from stdout_vfprintf when R_Outputfile is NULL. When called and output is greater than R_BUFSIZE, output is truncated to R_BUFSIZE.

I'm currently working on embedding R into the Apache2 webserver (with some positive results...), but I'm struggling to identify the best way to expose the apache data and functions to R. A couple of thoughts: In light of the recent discussion on "S3/S4 classes performance comparson", I'm leaning toward implementing the interface with S3 style classes. I appreciate

Hello all, I've been working on a new R Graphics device that targets Adobe's Shockwave Flash format (SWF for short). It uses http://www.libming.org/ on the backend. Here are some example outputs so far: http://160.129.129.41/~hornerj/plots/ Once you click on the above, choose a directory like 'smooth' and then click on test.html to see a side-by-side comparison of the swf

Dear Prof Ripley an d the R core team: I have installed the new RW1010. But I can't see (in RW1010\doc\manual ) the file R-intro.texi I'd like to know if I have done something wrong.

Hello, I've been wondering why my no-optimization R-devel builds have been hanging during "building/updating package indices ...". I tracked it down with gdb to this line from do_basename in utils.c: while ( *(p = buf + strlen(buf) - 1) == fsp ) *p = '\0'; Now, imagine if your compiler places the variable fsp immediately before buf on the stack, and strlen(buf) is 0.

Byron, I just read your blog (statcomp.blogspot.com, linked from your other post) and rand across your idea of an R/Flash graphics device. I've also been giving this some thought because of this amazing interactive flash app: http://tools.google.com/gapminder and others from http://www.gapminder.org/. I would love more than anything to work on this. The only hitch is that I'm so

I was writing Rd documentation for a new package when I came across this issue. Here's the smallest example: > library(tools) > cat("\\examples{x <- '<%=rnorm(1)%>'}\n",file=file.path(tempdir(),'test.Rd')) > readLines(file.path(tempdir(),'test.Rd')) [1] "\\examples{x <- '<%=rnorm(1)%>'}" >

I recently wrote a vignette, with the following at the top of the .Rnw file: %%\VignetteIndexEntry{How to use look up tables for h() functions} %%\VignetteDepends{sjedmin, spatstat} Using vExplorer() on this function, I got an error from this part of getVigInfo(): lines <- grep("^%[[:space:]]*\\\\Vignette", file) if (length(lines) == 0) stop("File ", vig,

Line 1204 (right now) of svn/r-devel/doc/manual/R-exts.texi has dest <- file.path(R_PACKAGE_DIR, paste0('bin', R_ARCH) which lacks a closing ) -- two open, only one close right now.

Hello, ?DateTimeClasses states that "one can add or subtract a number of seconds or a 'difftime' object from a date-time object, but not add two date-time objects." So, is the below expected behavior? > x <- Sys.time() > x [1] "2007-02-21 16:19:56 CST" > x + as.difftime("1","%H") [1] "2007-02-21 16:19:57 CST" Warning

For embedded projects, one may want to eliminate the per-session temp directory created by InitTempDir() and just use a system-specific temp directory. Here's my solution: extern char *R_TempDir; void my_InitTempDir() { char *tmp; if (R_TempDir){ if (rmdir(R_TempDir) != 0){ perror("Fatal Error: could not remove R's TempDir!");

I think there are some missing words in "R Internals"'s description of the P_ macro. It currently has "A macro as a wrapper for ngettext", which I think ought to be something like "The macro P_ may be used as a wrapper for ngettext". The following patch also makes the 2 alternate definitions of P_ have the same argument names, StringS and StringP. Expanding the

Hi all, We have a user that would like to create pdf plots using the Arial font. One way for her to do this is to use the Cairo graphics device which produces pdf's beautifully and embeds fonts automatically. She could also install the msttcorefonts package from ubuntu to obtain the Arial font. The problem is that she is using Sweave() to produce a document that contains the pdf plots,

Forgive me, but since it's Friday and I've been thinking about command line options lately, I thought I'd find out who came up with the name of the --vanilla argument for R.
