I have problem to have fonts in graphics using GDD. R version: R 2.2.1 (2005-12-20). GDD version: GDD_0.1-8.tar.gz Platform: Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 #2 SMP Sat Nov 4 21:16:47 EST 2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I have configured the basefont.mapping file accordingly to the path of the font on my computer: base.norm:/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial.ttf

How do the R "powers that be" handle packages that are orphaned from CRAN? Recently, I was looking for a function either part of the base functionality or an add-on package that mimicked the "poly" functionality from Octave (http://n4.nabble.com/Re-R-function-that-duplicates-Octave-s-poly-function-td901174.html) Based on that post a helpful R user strongly encouraged me

Hi Apologies for this question. I have read the help for GDD and font mapping, and it tells me that the config file, /usr/lib/R/library/GDD/fonts/basefont.mapping is responsible for mapping fonts to the GDD library. However: > .GDD.font() [1] "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/l048013t.afm" [2] "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/l048016t.afm" [3]

hi I'm using the GDD package (in a 64bits fedora machine using R 2.3.0) to save in a png file some plots and i noticed that changing the lwd parameter does not change my line width I tried the same script in a Windows based R (2.2.1 r36812), using no GDD, and it worked. Does anybody has a clue? My testing script is something dumb like this: library(GDD) GDD("pres24.png",

Is there a function similar to pkgDepends() that returns the packages that a particular package imports or imports from? I believe I can get this information from the matrix returned from installed.packages() but something like pkgDepends() would be more convenient. I did not find anything useful in my search of the R-help archives (my search string may have been poorly chosen), my use of

Hello, I have set up an anonymous rsync server that seems to work as expected. However when I try to access the server from several other unix boxes using rsync with a command like this; rsync netlib3.cs.utk.edu::netlib I get the motd and then a line that states client: nothing to do Now I would expect this to give me a directory listing. I do get the directory listing as expected when

Hi I was searching for some X replacement for my job in R and i found the GDD I installed it and I match all the system requirements. My problem (maybe a dumb one) is that every plot comes with no font and i cant find a simgle example of a plot WITH FONT DETAIL in the list can anybody help me? a simple example: library(GDD) GDD("something.png", type="png", width = 700,

I succeeded in compiling and installing the GDD package under my FreeBSD 6.1 box after eliminating ifdef DEBUG ? ?PKG_CFLAGS+=-DJGD_DEBUG endif in Makevars.in Now, with the following code .............................................. grafico1<- function() { plot(1:length(tabella[,1]),tabella[,2],ylim=c(Ymin,Ymax),type="h",

We will deprecate the functions pkgDepends(), package.dependencies() and 2-3 less prominent ones from package tools, in R's development version (short "R-devel"), i.e., the one that will probably become R 3.3.0 sometime in April. Instead, package_dependencies() should be used, possibly after non-default use of available.packages() to be used as argument 'db', i.e.,

Charles, Greg, the problem is that Apple's FreeType on Leopard uses CF calls (albeit just to get files), so it breaks on fork. (The message is moot, because the whole point of using fork is to *not* use exec). In any case the solution is to compile your own version of freetype, fontconfig and cairo without any CF or Carbon API. Fortunately most recent versions of FreeType will do so

Hi, I noticed recently when installing the GDD package for R under GNU/Linux that it required the gd library (http://libgd.org/) for generating graphics. The resolution of this was to simply install the library on my system, and then GDD successfully installed without any complaints. However, the variant of GNU/Linux that I use is Gentoo, so I filed a bug requesting that a USE flag be set for

Hi - I've scoured the mailing list archives as well as other help sources online and haven't figured out what my problem is or what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Scenario: I have a samba 3.5.5 server running on CentOS 5.5. This system is a member of an Active Directory domain. FYI, I am not the domain administrator, but I am an OU admin and can create

When trying to update packages after the sysadmin updated R on my unix box I got errors on some packages. For example for chron: * DONE (chron) mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/R/library/00LOCK': Permission denied ERROR: failed to lock directory '/usr/lib/R/library' for modifying I got similar messages for spatial and cluster and warnings for other packages. Finally I got:

Hi all, I am a real novice to R. :) I am struggling with a problem for generating colored dendrogram. I have searched the R list and complied/collected a R code which can generated a colored dendrogram based on the rainbow color and 4x4 similarity matrix (say matrix:m). In this dendrogram, each leaf is colored differently. But, I do not want the leaf colored on a random basis. I want to assign

Hi I just upgraded my R from stabel/etch from 2.4.x to 2.6.2 via sudo apt-get install r-base which worked fine, installing all dependencies From R, as root, I did update.packages() but a number of packages packages failed to install, either for missing gfortran or missing dependencies. Warning messages: 1: In install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l, contriburl =

I've caused a new problem for myself. I wonder if you have seen it. On Ubuntu 9.04 I had a lot of hangs with the nvidia packages and so I updated to the 185 edition on this website: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa The video drivers are much better! However, I notice now I don't have all of the working pieces of the X11/openGL development toolkit in order to compile R

I realize that others have struggled with this issue...i.e. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/05/01/9826.html i am on os.x 10.4 w/ R2.2, and am (perhaps foolishly) also on this quest... i would like to be able to install downloaded source (tar.gz'd) files from within an R session, and have it work in a X-platform way..i am often not connected to the internet and have libraries

Hello, when trying to write an R-file, which automatically installs and updates a given list of packages, I had two problems with install.packages() 1) install.packages("<package>") will install <package>, no matter if <package> has already been installed. 2) the readline() at the end of install.packages, which asks the user, if the downloaded files should be
