Hello all, I've developed a prototype package called PopCon (short for popularity contest), a package for tracking the popularity of R and its packages. I'd like this work to be similar in spirit to the Debian package popularity-contest: http://popcon.debian.org/. Once Popcon is loaded, it captures two kinds of information from the user and stores it into a cache: the names of the

A common need in R frontends is to provide some sort of read, (parse), evaluate, print loop. However, there are also a number of points where frontends may want to differ from the standard REPL as available e.g. in R_ReplDLLdo1(). First some thoughts on what is needed, and what is already there, or missing. If you want to skip over this, a short summary is provided in the second half, below

Hi. It seems that if I put a browser() in my Rprofile.site, I get a segfault. This happens on several machines, several versions of R.

For those R user's who don't subscribe to R-sig-db and are having troubles with the latest RMySQL binary on CRAN, please read the email thread at the end of this message. RMySQL 0.7-2 does work with MySQL 5.1, however the CRAN binary is linked against the 5.0 version.

Dear R-developers, even though I may not be the first one to encounter the problem described below, I would really appreciate some help or a link to a forum where this topic is being discussed. Probably I am simply misinformed on the usage of structRstart but see for youselve. I did check multiple forums and the whole internet on the topic without success. I am using the shared library version

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

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. Here's a one-line fix: Index: src/main/printutils.c =================================================================== --- src/main/printutils.c (revision 39548) +++ src/main/printutils.c (working

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

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

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.

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

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)%>'}" >

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!");

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

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.
