similar to: why is \alias{anRpackage} not mandatory?

Hi, I am facing with a strange behaviour of isClass and extends when these are called in .onLoad in both R 2.12.1 and R 2.13.0. This is preventing my package from doing some object initializations at a proper place (i.e. in .onLoad). Suppose one defines two S4 classes in a package, and that one needs to check the inheritance between these two when loading the package (e.g. to validate slots

Hi R-devels, would it be possible to enhance either promptPackage() or the default indexing mechanism for packages so that -- if it exists -- (the contents of) file <pkgname>-package.Rd is sorted first in * the .dvi / .pdf documentation file * the .chm documentation file * the package 00index.html documentation file ? So far I found the following "hand-made" solution

Was looking at what was output for <pkgname>-package.Rd and wondered if any there was any means (via macro, etc) to merge some of the same information with a template for my package manpage? As much (all?) of the generated information was already provided in the DESCRIPTION, I'd prefer not to have to update the information in multiple places. I'm thinking here that I could provide a

Dear R developers, I've got an information from Prof. Ripley regarding a bug found with AdressSanitizer in one of our packages. It is now fixed, thank you for this information. Now, I would like to run AddressSanitizer myself before submitting the patched package to CRAN. Is there a recommendation of a suitable Linux distribution with gcc 4.8, ideally an ISO image or (even better) a

Dear R developers, I recently observed a NOTE on several MaxOS X package checks: sh: line 1: gs: command not found !!! Error: Closing Ghostscript (exit status: 127)! /usr/bin/texi2dvi: thumbpdf exited with bad status, quitting. See for details: http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macosx-ix86/simecol-00check.html or

Hi, I created a package as follows: > a = 1 > package.skeleton() Then I got the following output when building the package: * checking for file ?anRpackage/DESCRIPTION? ... OK * preparing ?anRpackage?: * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK * checking for LF line-endings in source and make files * checking for empty or unneeded directories * looking to see if a ?data/datalist?

Hello, I want to do simulations with an external simulation model. For this purpose I wrote a R-script which makes the pre- and post-processing of the data (generate scenarios, analyze results). The R-script writes the input file for the simulation with e.g. write(x, file="test.dat", ncolumns=10) The problem is, however, that this command (and even constructions with cat) will add a

Dear R developers, we have currently a 'mysterious' test problem with one package that successfully passed the tests on all platforms, with the only exception of Solaris x86 where obviously one of our help examples breaks the CRAN test. As we don't own such a machine I want to ask about a possibility to run a few tests on such a system: r-patched-solaris-x86 An even more recent

Hello, I wonder why the control parameter REPORT is not supported by method SANN. Looking into optim.c I found an internal constant: #define STEPS 100 ... and decreasing this to 10 helped me fine-tuning the annealing parameters in an actual problem. Is there any reason why not passing nREPORT to samin and setting something like: STEPS = nREPORT / tmax Thomas P. -- Thomas Petzoldt

Dear R developers, some of our packages come with additional programming examples in a directory called "/examples" which is created from "/inst/examples". This directory is linked from the docs (e.g. in inst/doc/index.html): <dl> <dt><a href="../examples/">examples</a>: <dd>Source code of examples </dl> Given, that we have a

Dear R developers, I tried to use nlminb instead of optim for a current problem (fitting parameters of a differential equation model). The PORT algorithm converged much better than any of optim's methods and the identified parameters are plausible. However, it took me a while before spotting the reason of a technical problem that nlminb, in contrast to optim, does not pass names of the

Dear R developers, I observed that the html help page index entry "Read overview or browse directory" for package vignettes is missing in recent R-devel. This happened on two independent computers (WinXP Prof. SP3, German) with R-devel compiled from sources svn rev. 48125 resp. 48128 It's the same for my own and also for more prominent packages as well (e.g. grid). The

Hi [R-2.10.0; suse linux] I am having difficulty creating S4 objects in the data directory of a package. I want to create a bunch of simple S4 objects for use in the examples section of the Rd files. It says in R-exts that: " R code should be ?self-sufficient? and not make use of extra functionality provided by the package, so that the data file can also be used without having to load

I have a problem, that the plot of mathematical formula sometimes crashes R on Linux (SuSE 6.2 and 7.0 on a Dual PIII/500 machine with 1GB RAM). The problem occurs for example in demo("graphics"), i.e. in the last part were the mathematical symbols are plotted. There are several circumstances to reproduce this segmentation fault, but the following is one of the most simple examples. The

Dear R developers, I found a small issue while plotting contours of data containing both "usual" and "very small" numbers. It appeared with both R 3.0.1 and R-Devel on Windows, and I could reproduce it on Linux. Would it be possible to solve this before the upcoming release? Thanks a lot for developing this great software! Thomas Example: ######## set.seed(357) z1 <-

I installed some downloaded packages in R. I always do $sudo R CMD INSTALL <anRpackage.tar.gz> By default it is storing these packages into my directory /home/mary/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.13/. However I want them to be systemwide into /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/ folder. I tried $sudo R R> install.packages("anRpackage", dep=TRUE) I did not succeed into getting

Hello, first of all, thanks to LT for \pkg{codeutils}. I agree that it is indeed very useful to identify errors and also to encourage re-thinking past solutions. My problem: I want to compare different sets of related sub-functions which should be used alternatively by the same top-level function. Sets of related functions should be bound together (as lists) and the workspace should be as clean

I have carried out a spatial interpolation (Kriging) using surf.gls() The contour plot looks very plausible and the image plot is o.k too. The problem is, hovever, that I need the vectorized isoplethes, as in contour(). Unfortunately, I found no solution to get the internal data from contour(). Is there a possibility to extract contour lines as x-y-polygon from a grid without hacking plot3d.c?
