Thanks to Tony Plate for letting me know what the abbreviate.arg option does. I think this could be made more flexible (I.e. =TRUE, =FALSE, =#, where # would be passed to the abbreviate min.length argument). But it follows the example I was given. "print.factor" <- function (x, quote = FALSE, max.levels=5, print.levels = {if (max.levels==0) FALSE else TRUE},

For a variety of displays (mosaicplots, barplots, ...) one often wants to either abbreviate or wrap long labels, particularly when these are made up of several words. In general, it would be nice to have a function, abbreviate.or.wrap <- function(x, maxlength=10, maxlines=2, split=" ") { } that would take a character vector or a list of vectors, x, and try to abbreviate or wrap

Dear R-devel, I've made some potential extensions to writeForeignSAS in 'foreign' that I wanted to pass along if anyone is interested. I've attached the diff -u output against the version found in foreign_0.8-15 and an .R file with my changes. (In this .R file, the function is named writeForeignSAS7 to simplify testing/comparisons.) I've tried to alter the current

Dear all (copying the package author), I have a question on the vlmc package. I am trying to model a time series, where each element can take one of 11 values (the result of some clustering). When I run the following command (synthetic data to facilitate self-contained example) I get the following warning: ("alphabet with >1-letter strings; trying to abbreviate") +++ START+++ >

Dear list, I've tried several times to wrap my head around the Design library, without much success. It does some really nice things, but I'm often uncomfortable because I don't understand exactly what it's doing. Anyway, one thing I really like is the latex.ols() function, which converts an R linear model formula to a LaTeX equation. So, I started writing a latex.lm() function

R 2.15.2 installed as a regular user on Windows 7. Three issues: 1. There is a start menu item for "R 2.15.2 Help" that opens a local web page. If I click on packages, then base, then abbreviate I get "Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/rdboylan/Documents/R/R-2.15.2/library/base/html/abbreviate.html." The page before, which did display, was

Hello All! I have been working with R for the last couple of weeks and I am very impressed with the capabilities. I am creating hundreds of tables and need to dynamically name the columns. Here is a small snippet of my code: # Turn my clustering data into a data.frame object. names( clusters ) <- Abbreviate( distMethods[ i ], hclustMethods[ j ] ) df <- data.frame( clusters,

I have searched the archives and instructions high and low but have not found what I need. I have a dataframe named Data with columns: AdjResND0 - the numeric result Parameter - the classification (chemical name) Sort - the order I want the chemical names to appear, with leading zeros so all are the same length Client.Name - the sample name I am trying to generate a series of 1 page barcharts,

Hi R Users, I'm trying to re-order the "site names" ("Waseca", "Morris", ...). I'm using following code: libarry(lattice) barchart(yield ~ variety | site, data = barley, groups = year, layout = c(6,1), aspect=.7, ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)", scales = list(x = list(abbreviate = TRUE, rot=45,

What is the easiest way to change within vector of strings each letter after a space into a capital letter? E.g.: c( "this is an element of the vector of strings", "second element" ) becomes: c( "This Is An Element Of The Vector Of Strings", "Second Element" ) My reason to try to do this is to get more readable abbreviations. (A suggestion would be to

Hi, have anybody a hint how it's possible plot the labels in the x-axis vertical to get more space. dotplot( value ~ abbreviate(attribute,minlength=3),data=tabstat10,ylim=c(0,1),col="blue",ylab="Value",type="p",par.settings=my.theme) Many thanks, Christian

This is how I get the month names from within R: > mon <- rep(strptime("01/01/1952", format = "%d/%m/%Y"), 12) > mon$mon <- mon$mon + 0:11 > mnam <- months(mon, abbreviate = F) > mnam [1] "januar" "februar" "marts" "april" "maj" "juni" "juli" "august"

I've rolled up R-2.9.0.tar.gz a short while ago. This is a development release which contains a number of new features. Also, a number of mostly minor bugs have been fixed. See the full list of changes below. You can get it (later today) from http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.9.0.tar.gz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. In case of impatience, try

Hi, I have a barchart very similar to the example on the function documetation, however, I want to sort the bars according one group in one panel. Reminding: library(lattice) barchart(yield ~ variety | site, data = barley, groups = year, layout = c(1,6), ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)", auto.key=list(), scales = list(x = list(abbreviate = TRUE,

[adapted repost of question http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/03/6260.html] Dear R community, by default, text in the strips of a trellis plot is centered in the strip. Is there a way to have the text left-aligned? For example: library(lattice) test <- data.frame(x=rnorm(100), y=rnorm(100), a=rep(c("A: centered text","B: centered text"),50)) xyplot(y ~ x | a,

R 3.1.0 OS X Colleagues, I recently updated to 3.1.0 and I have encountered Warning messages: ... Name partially matched in data frame when I do something like: DATAFRAME$colname where colname is actually something longer than that (but unambiguous). I have much appreciated the partial matching capabilities because it fits with my workflow. I often receive updated data months after the

I asked this a few weeks ago but didn''t get a response, so at the risk of being a nag, I''ll abbreviate and restate. I know there are other Xen specific debuggers, but I want to know if there''s any reason why SGI''s kdb, http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb, should not be included in a dom0 pv-ops kernel? While the patches apply cleanly and build, the result is that

Dear ladies and gentlemen! In the help text for the xyplot (library(lattice), help(xyplot)) is an example given how one can use barchart: barchart(yield ~ variety | site, data = barley, groups = year, layout = c(1,6), ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)", scales = list(x = list(abbreviate = TRUE, minlength = 5)))

Hopefully an easy question. When drawing a rectangles in a lattice plot key, how do you omit the black borders? Here is an example adapted from one on the xyplot help page: bar.cols <- c("red", "blue") key.list <- list( space="top", rectangles=list(col=bar.cols), text=list(c("foo", "bar")) ) barchart( yield ~ variety | site,
