similar to: A doubt about substitute() after delayedAssign()

Duncan, Thank you for the clarification on how delayedAssign works. Should R-level interfaces to promise objects ever become available, I expect they would at time come in handy. On the subject of substitute and delayedAssign, I do have a follow-up question for the list. I'm trying to convert a named list of expression objects into an environment of promise objects. After conversion, each

The help files for delayedAssign and substitute both say that substitute() can be used to see the expression associated with a promise. However, I can't see how to do that. When I try the example in help file for delayedAssign I don't see substitute() extracting the promise, e.g.: > msg <- "old" > delayedAssign("x", msg) > msg <-

Hello, I am looking for more information about lazy loading introduced in R 2.0.0. Doing ?lazyLoad I got some and there is a 'see also' section that points to 'makeLazyLoading'... But I cannot reach this page. My problem is: I recompiled a library that uses a lot of functions from other libraries (of course I can give details if needed). I load it in my computer: library(svGUI),

Well.. plans are there from a long time to rewrite SciViews completely and make it platform independent (to work on Linux/Unix and MacOS X, as well as Windows). I have done some work in this direction when time permitted, but I am pretty busy with other work. During the holidays, I will continue to work in this direction. I will try to package a first running version of SciViews compatible with

Hello, I just notice this: > x <- c(1:4,0:5, 4, 11) > library(pastecs) Loading required package: boot > tp <- turnpoints(x) > extract(tp, no.tp = FALSE, peak = TRUE, pit = FALSE) [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE Warning message: arguments after the first two are ignored in: UseMethod("extract", e, n, ...) >

Bars are not stacked, but superimposed. This happens even with the first example of barplot: tN <- table(Ni <- rpois(100, lambda=5)) r <- barplot(tN, col='gray') --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i386-pc-mingw32 arch = i386 os = mingw32 system = i386, mingw32 status = major = 1 minor = 9.0 year = 2004 month = 04 day = 12

Forwarded to R-Help, because I think it could interest people following this thread. Clearly, RServe and svSocket have different goals and very little overlap.

Hello, I need a similar behaviour as with the prompt: asking to complete incomplete R command with eval(parse(text = ....)) Is it a way to make the difference between an illegal and an incomplete R command in a string? For instance: > parse(text="ls()") expression(ls()) This is fine! > parse(text="ls(") Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : parse error This is an

Dear R-Sig-Jobs members, A PhD position is available at the COMPLEXYS Research Institute of the University of Mons (UMONS), Belgium (http://www.complexsystems.be/).

Hello all R developers, I just send the official annoucement of the R Wiki at http://wiki.r-project.org (was also officially annouced at useR!2006). I would like to insist here on the aspects of the Wiki that could be of particular interest for you, as R developer: 1) The 'R documentation' section is dedicated to hold the latest "wikified" version of all Rd files (base,

Hello, According to ?as.logical: "as.logical attempts to coerce its argument to be of logical type. For factors, this uses the levels (labels)." However, > as.logical(factor(c("FALSE", "TRUE"))) [1] TRUE TRUE Shouldn't it be the same as: > as.logical(levels(factor(c("FALSE", "TRUE")))) [1] FALSE TRUE according to the

A user question today has me stumped. Can you advise me, please? User wants a matrix that has some numbers, some variables, possibly even some function names. So that has to be a character matrix. Consider: > BM <- matrix("0.1", 5, 5) Use data.entry(BM) or similar to set some to more abstract values. > BM[3,1] <- "a" > BM[4,2] <- "b" >

Hello, I like much addTaskCallback() and friends. However, there are situations were we would like to have a function run BEFORE, not after every top-level tasks. I think specifically to reset options(width = ) to accommodate to the current width of the console, using something like: options(width = system("tput cols")) I am sure there are many other situations where this could be

The last two lines of example(delayedAssign) give this: > e <- (function(x, y = 1, z) environment())(1+2, "y", {cat(" HO! "); pi+2}) > (le <- as.list(e)) # evaluates the promises $x <promise: 0x032b31f8> $y <promise: 0x032b3230> $z <promise: 0x032b3268> which contrary to the comment appears unevaluated. Is the comment wrong or is it supposed to

Hello, Thanks to Douglas Bates, there is now a new benchmark suite (version 2.3) which is compatible with R 1.9.0 and the recent Matrix library (0.8-1 or above). You find it at http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm. It compares R 1.9.0 under Windows with: S-PLUS 6.5, Matlab 6.0, O-Matrix 5.6, Octave 2.1.42, Scilab 2.7 and Ox 3.30. In short, R in its version 1.9.0 and with the new Matrix

Hello Rusers, I have worked on a R Wiki page for solutions in exporting R graphs, especially, the often-asked questions: - How can I export R graphs in vectorized format (EMF) for inclusion in MS Word or OpenOffice outside of Windows? - What is the best solution(s) for post-editing/annotating R graphs. The page is at: http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:graphics-misc:export. I

Hello, Sorry if this question was already asked (I though it was... but did not found the exact answer in the archives). I use R 2.2.0 and just updated to Firefox 1.5 (note that I already got the same result with Firefox 1.x.x) under Win XP sp2 US (full details of my config hereunder). When I try to use the HTML help search page, I can make a search: the message 'Applet SearchEngine
