Hello, A post to R-Help by Oliver Soong reports what seems to be a bug specific to Windows (I'm on Windows 7). The original post is as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------- from: Oliver Soong <osoong+r at gmail.com> to: r-help <r-help at r-project.org> date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 22:07:49 -0800 subject: [R] file.link fails on NTFS Windows 7 64-bit,

Hi, I have a question about the graphics changes in 2.7.0. The example is this bit of code: par(mfcol = c(2, 3)) for(i in 1:6) plot(1:10, 1:10, xlab = "xlab", ylab = "ylab", main = "main") In 2.7.0, if I do this interactively (using windows()), I get bold titles. If I do this through a png device, I get regular weight titles. If I do this in 2.6.2, both

Can somebody confirm some unexpected behavior? This is under Windows, with R 2.11.0 and 2.11.1. 1. Create a trivial test file (I called it test.R) containing: cat("Success.\n") 2. Load R (Gui or Term) and run: shell("\"C:\\path\\to\\Rscript.exe\" \"C:\\path\\to\\test.R\"") In my case, I get various error messages. If the path\\to\\Rscript.exe has spaces

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

Hello, I work for a company in which a number of employees use R. Many of them like to run executables via the system function in such a way that the output of that executable is displayed in a separate window. To give an example of the behavior they require, the following command can be run in R GUI: system("cmd",invisible=FALSE,show.output.on.console=FALSE) The result is that a

Hi, I posted over at R-help, and didn't get a response, but perhaps that was the wrong forum for this question. I'm having some confusion over the coordinate system after using pairs. I'm not interested in the content of the actual pairs plot, although the number of pairs seems to matter a bit. I'm purely interested in knowing where subsequent points will be plotted on the

Dear all, I've just downloaded R.12.0 from CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/release.htm). I am unable to find RGUI.exe as well as Rterm.exe. Conversely to what is explained in readme.R.2.12.0: There are two versions of the R executable in R-2.12.0\bin\i386 (32-bit) or R-2.12.0\bin\x64 (64-bit). I can't find directories i386 or x64 in R-2.12.0\bin -- Renaud Lancelot EDEN

R Version 2.12.1 (2010-10-15) vs 2.12.0 has slowed down 8 fold for dual core and 17 fold for dual-core-dual-processor Macs. I have checked this result on 3 different macs using the following R-script: Using Version 2.12.0 on a dual core dual processor Mac: > source("http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/kunkel/pub/R/CuriousResult.R") matrix multiplication 43.543 1.308 14.788

I am experiencing unexpected behavior with the command cat under Window GUI builds of R version 2.12.0 (it does not seem to be an issue in Rterm). For example if I issue the command cat(70,"\r") I get back text that looks like Asian characters. If I highlight and copy that text, it is the text I would regularly expect, e.g. the number 70 and the prompt line. Highlighting the text

I have been trying to download the latest version to my Macbook X version 10.6.8 from my institutions mirror http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu Usually is only takes minutes, but regardless of the browser or where I connect to the internet I have been unable to download because it would take upwards 2 days according to the download dialogue box. I'd really like to get the newest version to run some

Hello, Let's say I have 50 R scripts to run. What would be the most efficient way to run them? I thought I could do multiple Rterms in a DOS batch file: Ex: Rterm <1.R> 1.txt Rterm <2.R> 2.txt ... Rterm <50.R> 50.txt However, I'm afraid they will all open at the same time. I know I could pause the batch file with something like: PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 60000

Hi, In 'example(barplot)' running in R, I see 'Hit <Return> to see next plot:', then R waits for my input. I am wondering how to wait for a user response in Rscript. Regards, Peng

I run a batch file with the following command in Windows XP: C:\R\R-2.12.1\bin\Rterm.exe --no-save --no-restore <C:\users\me\file.R> C:\users\me\file.out 2>&1 Is there any way to get only the output of R in file.out, without getting all the code from file.R too? Any help greatly appreciated, Mikkel

I have an old server box that I've traditionally updated from source. I'd like to switch over to -RELEASE and use freebsd-update in the future. What's the easiest way to achieve that? Will just untarring the relevantrelease distro files work? -- Regards, Mike
