I'm writing a package that interfaces to the FAME database, via a library of compiled C routines accessible through a Linux .so file. My .onLoad() function loads the .so like this: dyn.load("/opt/fame/timeiq/lib/linux_x86/libjchli.so", local = F) and after that I also load my own fame.so via library.dynam("fame", package = "fame") The code in fame.so uses

One hassle I could do without is the necessity of writing C wrapper functions like this: void fameInit(int *status){ cfmini(status); return; } when I want to call a library function (cfmini, in this case) that takes an int argument. The .C interface only lets me pass a pointer to an int, rather than the int itself. Is there any chanch that .C could be enhanced to allow passing arguments by

I'm going to using RInside on windows enviroment. I installed all tools and packages according to Dirk's instruction. My R installation reside in d:\hli\programfiles\R-3.2.2. There's no problems with folders with spaces. The rtools is installed in d:\hli\programfiles\Rtools and MinGW in d: \hli\programfiles\MinGW. The R_HOME is set to d:\hli\programfiles\R-3.2.2. I

In package A I have askForString(), which asks the user for a string. Also in package A I have defined ssh(), which calls askForString(). Package B has package A as a prerequisite. In package B I redefine askForString() to take advantage of a nicer user interface made available by B, namely the Emacs mini-buffer prompt. Packages B and A are both on the search path, with B ahead of A. If I call

Is is possible from within a function to cause its caller to return()? I have a function that lets user make edits to certain objects, and then checks that the edited objects still make sense. If they don't, the function puts up a notifier that the edits are being discarded and then returns, something like: if(badEdits){ notifyDialog("bad edits will be ignored")

I am trying to use R to do a weighted GAM with PA (presence/random) as the response variable (Y, which is a 0 or a 1) and ASPECT (values go from 0-3340), DEM (from 1500-3300), HLI (from 0-5566), PLAN (from -3 to 3), PROF (from -3 to 3), SLOPE (from 100-500) and TRI (from 0-51) as predictor variables (Xs). I need to weight each observation by its WO value (from 0.18 to 0.98). I have specified the

I have an S3 class called "tis" (Time Indexed Series) which may or may not have multiple columns. I have a function "[<-.tis" that I've reproduced below. My question is this: inside of "[<-.tis", how can I distinguish between calls of the form x[i] <- someValue and x[i,] <- someValue ? In either case, nargs() is 3, and looking at the values

Dear All, I wonder whether anyone has an experience with FAME package written by Jeff Hallman. All my attempts to send him the following problem report did not succeed (the mail system says that my e-mail could not be delivered), so I turn for help to this list. I tried to use your FAME package written for R, but somehow I cannot get it working. I am using Windows XP and the newest R

My fame package has a function that checks to see if a FAME SERVER process is already running. On Linux, I can do this in one of two ways: pid <- Sys.getpid() user <- Sys.info()["user"] cmd <- paste("pgrep -fU", user, "-P", pid, "'FAME SERVER'") fameRunning <- as.logical(length(system(cmd, intern = T))) or I can use cmd

I would like to create a binary package for Windows which when installed will give the user an option of whether to install one version or another. Here is the problem, I have a package 'FAME' that can run in two different modes on Windows. An old mode that uses R to connect to a remote linux machine and a new way that uses a locally installed database. I would allow this decision to be

Hello list member: I've recently had a problem in that I'm unable to quit an R Session. I noticed this after the update to 2.8.0, but I believe I also noticed it on another machine, in the previous version. It occurs on both linux and Mac platforms. It only occurs when I start R in some particular workspaces that have alot of objects in them; it does not occur if I start R in an

When should we use one versus the other? If I'm designing an S3 class "blah", should I just implement blah <- function(x, ...) UseMethod("blah") and then a bunch of blah.whatever() functions, including blah.default()? Or should I do as.blah <- function(x, ...) UseMethod("as.blah") with a bunch of methods for it? Or do both?

Has anyone written a matrix editor or data.entry() replacement using the Tk table widget? I've been playing around with the examples at http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/~wettenhall/RTclTkExamples/tktable.html and making some progress, but I'd rather not spend much time on this if someone else has already done it. Jeff

I'm working on a matrix editor using the Tk table widget, and it is almost done. It slices, dices, etc., and it can paste into Excel from an R session running on Linux. What I don't know how to do is paste from Excel into a Tk table, and Google is not helping me. Can anyone lend me a clue? Jeff

I have a few functions, such as screenWidth() and screenHeight(), which I have been able to implement for a Unix/Linux environment, but not for Windows. (Does anyone know how to find the screen dimensions in Windows?) The Writing R Extensions manual tells me how to include platform-specific sections in documentation, and even how to have platform-specific help files. But it doesn't say

In Splus, I often use graphics windows with a black background and white foreground. The S print.graph() function sends the current plot to my printer but with a white background and black foreground. I'd like to be able to do something similar in R, but can't figure out how. I've tried various permutations of dev.copy() and dev.print(), but it seems that the foreground color is
