Hello, I am looking for more information about lazy loading introduced in R 2.0.0. Doing ?lazyLoad I got some and there is a 'see also' section that points to 'makeLazyLoading'... But I cannot reach this page. My problem is: I recompiled a library that uses a lot of functions from other libraries (of course I can give details if needed). I load it in my computer: library(svGUI),

Hello, I do not understand the following behaviour. Could someone explain me what happens? > a <- NULL > a$item <- 1:3 > a$item [1] 1 2 3 > rm(a) > a <- NULL > a[["item"]] <- 1:3 Error: more elements supplied than there are to replace Why do I get an error message using list[["item"]], and not using list$item? Best, Philippe Grosjean

Hi, This is (presumably?) a bug in R 1.7.0 under Windows. I have not tested it on other systems. Attachment of packages is case sensitive but not library(), resulting in multiple loadings of the same package if the library name is spelled differently. The following example loads the `tools' package, once as `tools' and once as `Tools'. This behavior is the same with all packages and

Forwarded to R-Help, because I think it could interest people following this thread. Clearly, RServe and svSocket have different goals and very little overlap.

Hi, For those who are interested, I have update my R benchmark (to version 1.5.0) and also to Splus 6. They are available at: http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm. A comparison is made between Matlab (5.3 & 6), R 1.5.0, Splus 6 rel 2, O-Matrix 5.1, Octave 2.1.31, Scilab 2.6, Rlab 2.1 and OX 3.00 under Windows 2000 pro. Overall, R is not the fastest package, but it is one of the

I do not understand what happens here (under Win XP): a <- abs(matrix(rnorm(800*800)/2, ncol=800, nrow=800)) system.time(b <- a^1000)[3] took about 1 sec on my computer with R 1.7.0 and it takes now 4.59 sec with R 1.7.1 Similarly, phi <- 1.6180339887498949 a <- floor(runif(750000)*1000) system.time(b <- (phi^a - (-phi)^(-a))/sqrt(5))[3] took about 0.9 sec with R 1.7.0, and it

Sorry for this off-topic subject. I am fighting for running SJava under Windows.

OK, I have made a little search about this "problem" that apparently occurs only on Windows platform... (but I am sure most of you are already aware of it): the slow down is due to the adoption of a different algorithm for pow in mingw 3.x. This is motivated by some other changes in mingw. Here is a quote of Danny Smith that did this change: >When mingw changed default FPU settings

Bars are not stacked, but superimposed. This happens even with the first example of barplot: tN <- table(Ni <- rpois(100, lambda=5)) r <- barplot(tN, col='gray') --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i386-pc-mingw32 arch = i386 os = mingw32 system = i386, mingw32 status = major = 1 minor = 9.0 year = 2004 month = 04 day = 12

Hi, I was able to connect to a MySQL database (called "zooscan" and with a table "serie" under Win XP with R 1.6.2 using: > library(DBI) > library(RMySQL) Warning message: DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f > drv <- dbDriver("MySQL") > con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname="zooscan") > dbExistsTable(con,

This only happens if 'file' is a text connection, and is the expected behaviour in that case: you cannot capture an incomplete line to a text connection. There seems no reason to break the documented behaviour in other cases to change something that you consider to a bug when file=NULL and the user does not produce complete output. It would be possible to make use of isIncomplete()

Hello, This message is little off-topic in R-help. Sorry for that, but not all interested people are wired yet to r-sig-gui (http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-gui). Thanks for your comprehension. A preview version of SciViews (a Graphical User Interface for R under Windows, http://www.sciviews.org) was released a few weeks ago. Since then, the Web site recorded several

Hi All, I've just rebuild the latest R with the Goto BLAS on our new Intel quad core machines. I did a few basic matrix calculations, and I was very impressed by the performance I saw. I wonder if anyone has a more rigorous benchmarking program for R. I downloaded a old R test/benchmarking program (see below), and this didn't work with the current R, and so I wondered if anyone could

Hello Rusers, I have worked on a R Wiki page for solutions in exporting R graphs, especially, the often-asked questions: - How can I export R graphs in vectorized format (EMF) for inclusion in MS Word or OpenOffice outside of Windows? - What is the best solution(s) for post-editing/annotating R graphs. The page is at: http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:graphics-misc:export. I

Hello all R developers, I just send the official annoucement of the R Wiki at http://wiki.r-project.org (was also officially annouced at useR!2006). I would like to insist here on the aspects of the Wiki that could be of particular interest for you, as R developer: 1) The 'R documentation' section is dedicated to hold the latest "wikified" version of all Rd files (base,

Hi, Under Windows, I am exporting graphs from R (in metafile -emf- format), and want to combine them using a graphic package. It happens that the background of the graph is represented by a filled rectangle (with the color given by bg=...). This is to be expected. However, I find no options to disable this and produce a graph with transparent background. Does such an option exist? If not, then
