There seems to be a bug in "image" in R 13.1 (on windows 32 & 64 bits) and on R-devel that is not present in R 13.0 and before. The below creates a plot with many white lines, horizontal and vertical, more or less regularly spaced. The effect is particularly dramatic when the plotting window is made very small. image(t(volcano)[ncol(volcano):1,]) Robert Hijmans University of

?dir.create (part of the base package) says that: "dir.create and Sys.chmod return a logical vector indicating which operation succeeded for each of the files attempted" However, on my system it returns nothing (whether successful or not): > dir.create(":::@!#!::") > dir.create('b') > sessionInfo() R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17) i386-pc-mingw32 locale:

I get an error when using self-defined (not standard) functions with mapply with S4 objects from the raster package that I develop: "Error in as.character(sys.call(sys.parent())[[1]]) : cannot coerce type 'closure' to vector of type 'character'". Does anyone understand why? The problem is illustrated below. Thanks, Robert > # First a general example that works

Hello R-users, I have downloaded and installed a binary version for Windows OS of ImageMagick (ImageMagick6.5.6-10-q16-windows-dll.exe), I have installed the rgl package and i've tried running the following example from ?movie3d() library(rgl) open3d() plot3d( cube3d(col="green") ) M <- par3d("userMatrix") play3d( par3dinterp( userMatrix=list(M,

I'd like to follow up on this one. It may be that I have misunderstood something, but on both R devel (2012-02-22 r58452) and R 2.14.1 patched (2012-02-18 r58394) I can't seem to avoid loading ~/.Rprofile when I run 'R CMD <cmd>', e.g. R CMD build. For me, the loading of ~/.Rprofile by 'R CMD' started a few weeks ago, and I haven't seen it before. More details

Dear RUsers, I just upgraded from 2.6.0 to 2.6.2 and tried to reinstall the RWinEdt patch to work with WinEdt so that I can continue function as I always have but I have run into problems that I don't understand how to fix. Any help would be great. Essentially, I downloaded the latest RWinEdt zip folder from the CRAN website and tried calling the library. I tried re-installing it a bunch of

Hi R-list, I'll apologize in advance for (1) the wordiness of my note (not sure how to avoid it) and (2) any deficiencies on my part that lead to my difficulties. I have an application with several stages that is meant to simulate and explore different scenarios with respect to product sales (in units sold per month). My session info is at the bottom of this note. The steps include (1) an

I find that Sys.glob() doesn't like UNC paths where the initial slashes are backslashes. The help page for Sys.glob() doesn't specificly mention UNC paths, but does say: "File paths in Windows are interpreted with separator \ or /." Is the failure to treat a path beginning with a double-backslash as a UNC network drive path the intended behavior? E.g., on a Windows system

Hola a todos, Sólo por curiosidad, sabe alguien cómo enviar correos electrónicos desde R?

Hi, I've been using R for many years and have always tried to keep my R version up to date, and when I switched from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2 I'm suddenly having trouble printing from the graphics device. I have Windows XP, and installed both versions of R from the binaries. If I start 2.7.2 and simply do: > plot(1:10) the default R Graphics Device window opens as usual. However, when I

I've noticed the following oddity where capture.output() prevents eval() from evaluating an expression in the specified environment. I'm not sure if it is an undocumented feature or a bug. It caused me many hours of troubleshooting. By posting it here, it might save someone else from doing the same exercise. Start by defining foo() which evaluates an expression locally in a given

Hi, in Section 'Writing package vignettes' of 'Writing R Extensions' it says: "Whenever a Makefile is found, then R CMD build will try to run make after the Sweave runs, so PDF manuals can be created from arbitrary source formats (plain LaTeX files, ...). [...] Note that the make step is executed even if there are no files in Sweave format, [...]". In my package,
