similar to: R on Windows crashes when using certain characters in strings (PR#14137)

Full_Name: Karl Ove Hufthammer Version: 2.10.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (93.124.134.66) I have found a rather strange bug in R 2.10.0 on Windows, where the choice of characters used in a string make R crash (i.e., Windows shows a dialogue saying that the application has a problem, and must be closed). I can reproduce the bug on two separate systems running Windows XP, and with

Dear list members I'm using CairoPDF to generate PDF (because of its font embedding and support for transparent colours). However, at least on my (Windows) system, the text it outputs seems to have completely wrong kerning. Here's an example: CairoPDF("test.pdf") plot(rnorm(100),xlab="Ovreset") dev.off() The v is (slightly) too far away from the O, it's much

Full_Name: Karl Ove Hufthammer Version: 2.10.0 beta OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (93.124.134.66) When plotting a single POSIXct variable, 'plot' uses a nonsensical x axis. Here is some example code: set.seed(1) x=seq(1,1e8,length=100)+round(runif(100)*1e8) y=as.POSIXct(x,origin="2001-01-01") plot(y) The y axis correctly shows appropriate labels (years 2002 to 2006),

The new version of R-devel from yesterday morning seems to have fixed bug=20 14114! Thanks a lot for your help.

Dear list members, I can't figure out how get 'xyplot' or 'dotplot' in the 'lattice' package to respect the 'lwd' value for specifying the border with for *symbols* (for lines it works fine). Example: ----- # Base graphics works fine (gives a 'fat? circle) plot(5, cex=10, pch=21, lwd=10) # But 'xyplot' or 'dotplot' doesn't

[I originally posted this on the R-help mailing list, and it was suggested that R-devel would be a better place to dicuss it.] Running ?table? on a factor with levels containing non-ASCII characters seems to result in extremely bad performance on Windows. Here?s a simple example with benchmark results (I?ve reduced the number of replications to make the function finish within reasonable time):

I'm using the 'cloud' function in the 'lattice' package to produce multi-panel 3D scatter plots. The range of the values used vary much between each panel (especially on the z axis), so I wish the axis limits to be calculated based on the (conditional) data. Here's a minimal example: library(lattice) z=1:200 x=runif(200) y=runif(200) s=factor(rep(c(1,2),each=100))

I am not sure why you would want to do that, but the C code does assume source attributes were put there by R, and changing tests from !isNull to isString in a few places will fix that. If there is a character vector "source" attribute it should be used: that is the point of such attributes. On Mon, 19 Nov 2007, karl at huftis.org wrote: > Full_Name: Karl Ove Hufthammer >

I believe I have found a bug (or at least a misfeature) in plot.POSIXct. See the following example code. set.seed(1) x=seq(1,1e8,length=100)+round(runif(100)*1e8) y=as.POSIXct(x,origin="2001-01-01") plot(y) This plots some random (date)times against their indices. The y axis correctly shows appropriate values (years), but the x axis contains the single number '59:58' in the

I'm having a problem where I have to apply a function to a subset of a variable, where the subset is defined by the n nearest neighbours of a second variable. Here's an example applied to the 'iris' dataset: $ head(iris) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 2 4.9 3.0 1.4

Dear list members I have a rather large vector (part of a data frame) giving the time (date + time, POSIXct) of observations. The times are irregular (with both small and large jumps) but increasing, and there are several millions of them. I now wish to reduce my data set, so that I only have observations which are at least (for example) 60 seconds apart. Basically, I need (all) the indices

Dear list members, I recall seeing a convenience function for applying multiple functions to one object (i.e., almost the opposite of 'mapply?) somewhere. Example: If the function was named ?fun? the output of fun(3.14, mode, typeof, class) would be identical to the output of c(mode(3.14), typeof(3.14), class(3.14)) Is my memory failing me, or does such a function already exists in a

Dear list members, I'm running some tests looking at differences between means for various levels of a factor, using Tukey's HSD method. I would like to plot the data as boxplots or dotplots, with horizontal significance lines indicating which groups are statistically significantly different, according to Tukey HSD. Here's a nice image showing an example of such a graphical

Dear R-bug-people I have encountered a problem with "unsplit", which I believe may be caused by a bug in the function. However, unexpericend with bug-reports I apologise if this is barely a user problem rather than a problem within R. The problem occurs if an object is split by several grouping factors with levels not occuring in the data, and using drop = TRUE. This may appear as

Dear all, I?m having some problems getting optim with method="Nelder-Mead" to work properly. It seems like there is no way of controlling the step size, and the step size seems to depend on the *difference* between the initial values, which makes no sense. Example: f=function(xy, mu1, mu2) { print(xy) dnorm(xy[1]-mu1)*dnorm(xy[2]-mu2) } f1=function(xy) -f(xy, 0,

Hi, I am trying to install a Norwegian teaching application (Mathematics) on an Ubuntu 8.04.1 client installation. As horrible as it may seem, the developers of this app has decided to use Norwegian characters in filenames, which wine obviously isn't very happy with. When installing the app I don't get any error messages about the files, but when I try to start the app itself, it

A seemingly simple problem has me stumped. Is it possible to choose the number of colour breaks for a gradient scale in the current version of ggplot2? Here is a simple example: --------------------------------------------- x=-10:10 y=-10:10 dat=expand.grid(x=x,y=y) dat$z=dat$x^2+dat$y^2-100 ggplot(dat, mapping=aes(x=x, y=y, fill=z)) + geom_tile() + scale_fill_gradient2()

Hi! Is it possible to have different axis limit for each facet in a ggplot2 plot? Here is an example: -------------------------------------------------------------- library(ggplot2) x=seq(-10,10,.1) y=cos(x) z=sin(x)*10 dat=melt(data.frame(x,y,z), id.var="x") qplot( x, value, data=dat, facets=variable~., geom="line" )

Dear R-help. When plotting 3D wireframe plots with the lattice package, there is often a lot of space between the actual plot (i.e., cube) and panel borders. For a single wireframe, this is not a problem, but when plotting multiple wireframes, the wasted space decreases the size of the plots very much. Is there a way to decrease this space/margin? I could not find any information about it in

When discussing statistics in e-mail based discussion groups, or in newsgroups, it is sometimes useful to include simple, text-based statistical graphics. Here is an example, a histogram (only useful with a fixed-width font, obviously). :..... ..:::::::::. .:::::::::::::::
