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

R Core, Here is another minor typo which I had spotted three days ago and sent to Brian, but have not heard back nor seen it incorporated. Doubly trivial as in a comment but a dual typo nevertheless. Would be nice if someone could fold this in. I still have the same diff here for the current r87707. Cheers, Dirk edd at rob:~/svn/r-devel$ svn diff doc/manual/R-exts.texi Index:

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

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

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

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)%>'}" >

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."

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.

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
