similar to: a small suggestion for improving the building of packages

Hello List, I have been using Sweave for my homework this last quarter and have been very impressed at how much time and effort it saves me. I, however, have run up against a problem which I have not been able to solve using any of the Sweave/LaTeX tricks I know. I work through my homework one problem at a time, typesetting equations and writing R code, etc. and occasionally use

List, I am using the 'tisPlot' function in Jeff Hallman's excellent tis package and was hoping that someone could spare me from having to dig into the code of his 'tisPlot' function. So far as I can tell, the preferred method of controlling the plotting of the x-axis is using the 'xTickFreq' and 'xTickSkip' options. Unfortunately, the where the data ends

List, Would someone be so kind as to point me to a function that will calculate simultaneous confidence intervals of regression coefficients based upon their distribution as (under the assumption of normal errors, with \mathbf{X} as the design matrix): $\hat{\mathbf{\beta}} \sim N(\mathbf{\beta}, \sigma^2(\mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{X})^{-1})$. 'confint' calculates individual coefficients so

The example at ?pictex does not work (the driver apparently uses 'rotatebox') for me as stated. It did compile after including the graphicsx package. A MWE is at the help page for pictex. I tried to get in touch with Valerio but his email bounced. Probably we want to add a \usepackage{graphicsx} to the help page and try to track down Valerio. Cheers, Kyle This is pdfTeX, Version

List, I have a question about why plots sent to certain devices can be of so much worse quality than others. Whenever I plot to x11 or pdf the graphs are of excellent quality. eps is a bit poorer, but of passable quality, and jpeg or tiff are terrible. I tried all manner of parameters, on many versions of R (most major releases from about 2.2 - present) under linux and windows and on a few

Dear List, First off, my deepest gratitude to the Sweave developers: this tool has improved my quality greatly. A question in my work I use \Sexpr{} statements scalar values and the xtable package for all manner of tables. What I'd like to do is to use a vector inline, rather than a whole separate table. Something like: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin code % Latex junk % Sweave block:

List, I would like to set a variable to hold, say, the size of my plots in a Sweave document. i.e. something like the following in my '.Rnw' file: ============================================================================== smallPlotSize = 4 <<fig1, echo=false, results=hide, height=smallPlotSize, width=smallPlotSize, fig=true>>= dat <- read.table("

List, I am currently producing a series of charts using multiple calls to pdf() but, rather than having ''n'' single plot files, would like them all to go into one ''n''-page pdf file. Would someone be so kind as to explain how, if at all, I might go about doing this from within R? I have only ever previously used devices besides x11 by analogy with printing things

I''m looking for an easy way to have mongrel only serve dynamic railscontent, while letting Apache serve non-Rails content. Unfortunately,it seems that you have to segregate the static content in its ownfolder. That was also the case with the SCGI runner. I used thetrick outlined athttp://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/23347 to managethis. I was curious if a similar

Dear R developers, I am wondering what are the best practices for developing an R package. I am aware of Hadley Wickham's best practice documentation/book (http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/). I recall a couple of years ago there were some tools for generating a package out of a single file, such as using package.skeleton, but no auto-generated documentation. Do you know a way to generate

I built out a simple CMS for websites that rely heavily on portfolios. This covers graphic and web designers in particular, but also other people with stuff to show off. It''s really easy to customize progressively, so that some people will only modify CSS, but others will dig deeper into Javascript behaviors and the Rails view code.

Im using the file_column plugin to upload files from my application. The problem I am encountering is that I have a form with 2 file upload fields and when I submnit that form with files selected, I would get a message from the browser(Firefox) saying that a script on the page is taking a long time to execute and whether I want to cancel it or continue. Whichever option I choose, only 1 file(PDF)

For my weekend project, I''m going to get form_remote_tag and file_column playing happily together. According to my research, no one has done this yet. If you happen to have tried this, and have some workable code, send me an email. I''d rather not duplicate the effort.

I updated RailsCron to fix some threading issues with ActiveRecord. Please update if you were on 0.2.1. Also, I am still working on a good unit test strategy (its tricky because I would think that the tests must occur over a lot of time), but haven''t had/made time to give it its due. If you have suggestions, please let me know. -- Kyle Maxwell Chief Technologist E Factor Media // FN

Hi all, I patched file_column to add imagemagick transformations of uploaded content. I added an options hash, and it takes the :magick and :format keys. :magick is a string of imagemagick command line options for convert (Reference: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php). Format is an optional extension for the finished image. If Imagemagick recognizes the extension, then it will

We are writing a program using the manager for * for our receptionist to use once the system go live. If anyone is interested in helping us with testing please let me know. We are designing it for a touch screen monitor for her to do transfers, see whose on the phone and a few other features. Its in the development stage and has bugs. but I think its gonna be really good. If your interested

Hello, I've been able to get J3 working with the single and multimap garbage collectors but have hit several snags with Boehm and MMTk. For MMTk I get here: Buildfile: /cs/student/kyleklein/vmkit/mmtk/java/build.xml main: [mkdir] Created dir: /cs/student/kyleklein/vmkit/mmtk/java/classes [javac] Compiling 373 source files to /cs/student/kyleklein/vmkit/mmtk/java/classes

Hello, Is it possible to trigger an action in a controller when a table from database changes? I thought about using an utility like cron (railscron) to check every, e.g. 2 s, if the table changed, but I am wondering if there is a solution a bit more ''elegant'': to trigger an action exactly when the change is made.
