similar to: Misuse of get(getOption("device"))() in packages

Hi, I have a R-package that works fine with R 2.7.0 (it builds, checks and installs) but not with R 2.8.0. Running check in 2.8.0 gives the following output : [...] * checking examples ... ERROR [...] The error most likely occurred in: [...] > dev <- show.pr(mr.tbl, col="green", type="b") Error in get(getOption("device")) : invalid first argument Calls: show.pr

Am I the only one with this problem? > postscript() Error in old$command == "default" : comparison (1) is possible only for vector types The function postscript() is creates a list called "old". the function wants to access old$command, but old does not have a component called command. > postscript function (file = ifelse(onefile, "Rplots.ps",

Out of curiosity, what happened to this? With 1.8.1 it returns: > getOption("repositories") CRAN "http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib" BIOC "http://www.bioconductor.org/src/contrib" With R-devel it returns: > getOption("repositories") NULL It appears to have been taken

Hi there, I am trying to distinguish between getOption() and Sys.getenv(). My understanding is that these are both used to set values for variables. getOption is set something like this: option("var" = "A"). This can be placed in an .Rprofile or at the top of script. They are called like this getOption("var"). Environmental variables are set in the .Renviron file

Hi, I have a weird thing I don¹t understand. Here¹s what I did: I read some data: data=read.table("fileName²) then I printed the data to the screen: data But it didn¹t finish: lot¹s of data was written out, but not all of it... Then it interrupted and said: [ reached getOption("max.print") -- omitted 8178 rows ]] Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to get to see all of my

Dear useRs, does anyonw now how to avoid [ reached getOption("max.print") -- omitted 138 rows]. i read from the R forum that it can be avoided by increasing the 'max.print' option as much as i like, but i dnt know, how?? need your help on it. regards eliza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I wish to return to the topic "[Rd] example(ask = .) - default ?" discussed in R-devel on May 1, 2006, because I think it is related to my problem. In one of my Rd examples I generate multiple (20-30!) PNG files using png()/dev.off(). I noticed that I get a "Hit <Return> to see next plot:" for each png() call, when calling example() [interactively]. The code for

Thanks a lot for pointing out the reason (and yes, I am testing quite to stringent in this case - it's my old testing disease ;-) For other readers: The R-devel NEWS is a good source to find possible change reasons: https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/doc/html/NEWS.html On Sun, 2019-09-29 at 08:33 -0400, Duncan Murdoch wrote: > On 29/09/2019 7:55 a.m., nospam at altfeld-im.de wrote:

'Writing R Extensions' tells you that $ needs to be escaped in Rd files outside \code and similar. So I was surprised to find that ca 80 CRAN packages have constructions like (from ISwR) \item{\code{folate}}{ a numeric vector, folate concentration ($\mu$g/l). } This does not render sensibly in non-latex conversions, and it is what we have \eqn{} for. That $ needs to be

I often use R CMD BATCH to run my files (e.g. script.R), and get the output recorded in script.Rout -- this is great. On my setup (R.2.3.0 on linux), if any plots are created, they get stored in Rplots.ps. This can get confusing if I have several batch scripts in one directory. I've written a simple shell script to rename Rplots.ps to e.g. script.Rout.ps so that later I can easily identify

We have been working on handling Rd (R help) files with R rather than Perl scripts. As part of that work, Duncan has written a parser which has revealed many problems in package help files, and we have added its checks to 'R CMD check' in the R-devel version of R. You can see the results for CRAN packages as part of the daily check at

Hi. GENERAL: Is there a general method for inferring default device settings, particularly 'width' and 'height', that works for all devices? AFAIK, the answer is no, but there might be functions out there that I don't know of. POSTSCRIPT SPECIFIC: If not, I'm considering implementing such a method myself. Is it possible for R to infer the default 'width' and
