Anyone who is interested in using optimal colour palettes should look at the work of Cindy Brewer: www.colorbrewer.org I have written code to use her colour schemes in R. It is included below. Perhaps someone may find this interesting enough to work into a package. Included also is a function showpalette, which was posted here a while back. I don't remember who wrote it. I have copied all

Dear Martin, Thank you for the well-reasoned response. I realized I was rather late to make this suggestion for 4.0.0, changing a somewhat low-level function that can indeed affect packages. I was just reviewing some R user scripts that were using type.convert(), mainly on data frames. In all cases, people were passing as.is=TRUE, so I was reminded that I would not be the only user who would

Hi Martin, Great that you follow this. My original intention was to be able to translate colornames to hsv because this would allow using colornames to cut out a certain part of the colorwheel for colorcoding (HSV component H, see my code below) I think internally we might have colors represented as Colornames, ColorIntegers, ColorHexcodes, ColorRGBs, ColorHSVs (ColorCMYs?) however the R-user

Hi Simon, thank you for the concise reply. Do you mean the reported behavior of drop() is not a bug? It looks like a borderline bug to me (see below), but I'm not the judge of that. If this is the intended behavior and serves an actual purpose, then that could be explicitly documented in a \note{} on the help page. Such a note would slightly reduce the surprise of users running into this

If read.table() is defaulting to "character" instead of "factor" data type, shouldn't type.convert() also default to "character" in R 4.0.0? This would seem like a good time to change the default to type.convert(as.is=TRUE), to align it with the new default in read.table and data.frame. I think many R >=4.0.0 users would be happy with as.is=TRUE as the default

Hi all, I intend to use R for some image manipulations/analysis. It's relatively straightforward to read and manipulate image files in R, but I also would like to store the resulting image (after manipulation) as a bitmap image with the same resolution as the original image. Here is a simplified version of what I'm working on: # Start example require("RImageJ") # first open

Hi, I am building my own TCP daemon for easing some routine admin stuff... I am no expert on security,. I would really appreciate it if someone sent me some pointers to writing TCP daemons that are hacker-proof( i know there is nothing like that...but I do not want to be making mistakes in coding that are well known.. ;) The daemon runs as root....so that is why I am woried.... Thx, Arni

I noted that there is a hsv2rgb in the C-API, but no corresponding function in R, while rgb2hsv is available in R. Does the functionality of hsv2rgb hide under some other name? Dieter

One descriptive statistic that is conspicuously missing from core R is the statistical mode - the most frequent value in a discrete distribution. I would like to propose adding the attached 'statmode' (or a similar function) to the 'stats' package. Currently, it can be quite cumbersome to calculate the mode of a distribution in R, both for experts and beginners. The lack of a

Creating a plot with reverse Y axis is easy enough with traditional graphics: > x <- 1:3 > y <- 1:3 > plot(y~x, ylim=c(3,1)) +-----------+ 1 | o | | | 2 | o | | | 3 | o | +-----------+ 1 2 3 But xyplot doesn't grasp my idea: > xyplot(y~x, ylim=c(3,1)) +-----------+ 3 | o | | | 2 | o |

Hi all, I would like to propose the attached function ASCIIfy() to be added to the 'tools' package. Non-ASCII characters in character vectors can be problematic for R packages, but sometimes they cannot be avoided. To make packages portable and build without 'R CMD check' warnings, my solution has been to convert problematic characters in functions and datasets to escaped

I present you with a function that solves a problem that has bugged me for many years. I think the problem may be general enough to at least consider adding this function, or a revamped version of it, to the 'stats' package, with the other multinomial functions reside. I'm using R to export data to text files, which are input data for an external model written in C++. Parts of the

Duncan, thanks for your feedback. I just received your response after sending out mine. You came to the same conclusion. Should I prepare a patch and send it to you so that you can also have a look? Or view Bugzilla? Best wishes, Achim On Thu, 23 Feb 2023, Duncan Murdoch wrote: > On 23/02/2023 4:36 a.m., Sigbert Klinke wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I would have expected that I

Dear r-bugs, The 'see also' link in help(area,html=T) is broken, see line 91 in library/MASS/html/area.html: "../../integrate/html/integrate.html" should be "../../base/html/integrate.html" Regards, Arni OS: Windows XP R: 1.7.1 MASS: 7.1-8

Dear r-bugs, I'd like to be able to draw boxplots with solid or dotted whisker lines. The lty argument is currently ignored by boxplot(), and indeed hardwired in bxp(). It's not very difficult to customize these functions to generate various types of boxplots, but generally it might be an idea to allow the user to pass a few more graphical arguments to boxplot(). The approach might as

I'd like to suggest changes to three help pages, regarding the use of pch=NA to suppress plotting symbols. See below. Arni R 2.0.1 on WinXP === help(bxp) === The argument outpch=" " needs to be replaced with outpch=NA in two places. I actually wrote this part of the documentation myself at one point, but have now realized that pch=NA and pch=" " are not the same:

The write.csv() function is currently implemented as function (..., col.names=NA, sep=",", qmethod="double") { write.table(..., col.names=NA, sep=",", qmethod="double") } Surely, it should be function (..., col.names=NA, sep=",", qmethod="double") { write.table(..., col.names=col.names, sep=sep,
