Dear list members, I have defined a binary operator %append% with methods for some S4 classes. In my documentation file, I want to list the methods explicitly by using e.g.: \S4method{\%append\%}{RecLinkData,RecLinkData}(x, y) In the HTML documentation this comes out right as ## S4 method for signature 'RecLinkResult,RecLinkResult' x %append% y , but R CMD check

Dear all, I am searching for a possibility to view large data sets (e.g. stored in ffdf objects) in a GUI window in a memory-efficient way. So far I looked at gtkDfEdit (package RGtk2Extras) and gdf (package gWidgets). Both operate (as far as I can see) on data frames stored in memory. gtkDfEdit accepts an ff data frame as input, but there is a long delay before it shows up, so I presume the

Hi all, I've run into the following problem with Sweave: I frequently run Sweave from a xterm console within an X session owned by a different user, i.e. my colleague is logged in on this computer and I do "su" with my username and start R and Sweave afterwards. Now, when Sweave comes to a figure chunk, it sees that there is an X server running and tries to show whatever I plot

Hi all, I stumbled across the following, in my opinion surprising, behaviour of read.table: > data <- read.table(stdin(), sep=",") 0: 1, 2, 3 # Some comment 1: > sapply(data, class) V1 V2 V3 "integer" "integer" "numeric" I was surprised to find that V3 has class "numeric" despite its apparent integer value.

Dear R-devel members, I would like to compile a package with two seperate shared libraries. For example, in a package 'foo', a file 'bar.so' built from a distinct set of source files should be installed in addition to the default 'foo.so' (or .dll on windows). Does anyone know about a way to achieve this without having a custom Makefile, e.g. via 'Makevars'?

It's been a while since this thread appeared, but I had the same problem and don't want to keep the solution for myself.

Hi all, I just stumbled across the difference between explicit and 'automatic' row names for data frames. Is there a quick way to find out if a data frame has automatic row names or not? Of course I know this for data frames that I create myself, but what if a function needs to extract this information for an argument? The following example shows that this property is not easily

Hi all, I am posting this again because I got no reply on r-help. Maybe the devel-list is the right place for this kind of question. I've run into the following problem with Sweave: I frequently run Sweave from a xterm console within an X session owned by a different user, i.e. my colleague is logged in on this computer and I do "su" with my username and start R and Sweave

Hi all, I have a function which makes use of missing() to determine which arguments are provided in the call - basically, there are two sets of arguments that map to different strategies the function uses to fulfill its task. After conversion to an S4 generic I've run into the problem that if a method uses extra arguments that are not in the signature of the generic, usage of missing()

Hi all, I use txtProgressBar to monitor progress of large computations. What I miss is the ability to redirect the progress bar to a stream other than stdout, specifically to the message stream. This would be useful for running Sweave scripts: When redirected to stderr, the bar could be visible even though console output is diverted to the output file (and there would be no cluttering of the

Full_Name: Vilmos Prokaj Version: R 2.7.1 OS: windows Submission from: (NULL) (213.181.195.84) Dear developers, The following line of code (produced by a mistake) caused an infinite loop unique("a",c("a","b")) or also unique(1,1:2) I made a little investigation, and it seems to be that the following function from unique.c is looping infinitely static int

Looking at shash in unique.c, from R-2.10.1 I'm wondering if it makes sense to hash the pointer itself rather than the string it points to? In other words could the SEXP pointer be cast to unsigned int and the usual scatter be called on that as if it were integer? shash would look like a slightly modified version of ihash like this : static int shash(SEXP x, int indx, HashData *d) {

I found a bug in one of the fourteen speed patches I posted, namely in patch-vec-subset. I've fixed this (I now see one does need to duplicate index vectors sometimes, though one can avoid it most of the time). I also split this patch in two, since it really has two different and independent parts. The patch-vec-subset patch now has only some straightforward (locally-checkable) speedups for

Hi, I am trying to read in a rather large list of transactions using the arules library. It seems in the coerce method into the dgCmatrix, it somewhere calls unique. Unique.c throws an error when n > 536870912; however, when 4*n was modified to 2*n in 2004, the overflow protection should have changed from 2^29 to 2^30, right? If so, how would I change it in my copy? Do I have to recompile

Hi Mark, So depending pretty strongly on what you mean by "ALTREP aware", packages aren't necessarily supposed to be ALTREP aware. What I mean by this is that as of right now, ALTREP objects are designed to be interacted with by non-ALTREP-implementing package code, *more-or-less *exactly as standard (non-AR) SEXPs are: via the published C API. The more or less comes from the fact

Dear R-devel, May I suggest that a new feature be added to a couple of unique() methods? Sometimes it's useful to have the indices of the original data that the unique elements come from, so that the original data can be recreated from the unique()ed data. I suggest that an `index' argument be added for unique. Below is a suggested patch against R/src/library/base/R/duplicated.R: ***

Hello, I was playing around with the newly implemented 'incomparables' argument in 'match' and realized the argument does not behave anything like I expected. Can someone explain what is going on here? Sorry if I'm misreading the documentation. > match(1:3, 1:3, incomparables=1) [1] NA 2 3 # This seems right, the 1 in 'x' is 'incomparable' >

Dear R developers, While improving duplicated.array() and friends and developing equivalents for the new ff package for large datasets I came across two questions: 1) is it safe to use duplicated.default(), unique.default() and match() on arbitrary lists? If so, we can speed up duplicated.array and friends considerably by using list() instead of paste(collapse="\r") 2) while
