Hi, Recently I noticed file.copy() would discard the file mode information. Is this the expected behaviour or a bug for file.copy()? > file.create('testfile') [1] TRUE > file.info('testfile') size isdir mode mtime ctime testfile 0 FALSE 644 2011-03-05 17:06:39 2011-03-05 17:06:39 atime uid gid uname grname

Hi, I have a function knit_expand() and its source/Rd are below: https://github.com/yihui/knitr/blob/master/R/template.R#L43-L44 https://github.com/yihui/knitr/blob/master/man/knit_expand.Rd When I run R CMD check on the package I get this warning (with both R 2.15.2 and R-devel): * checking for code/documentation mismatches ...

Hi, Suppose I have x = parse(text = " {y=50+50+50#'asfasf' } ") now x is an expression with some src attributes. > x expression({y=50+50+50#'asfasf' }) attr(,"srcfile") <text> attr(,"wholeSrcref") {y=50+50+50#'asfasf' } My question is, how can I get my string back (the string passed to parse() as the text argument)? >

Hi, A Windows user asked me a question and I believe this is a bug of R 3.0.0 under Windows: > plot(1:10) > savePlot('test.wmf') Error in .External(C_savePlot, device, filename, type, restoreConsole) : Incorrect number of arguments (4), expecting 3 for 'savePlot' > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1]

Hi all, Since roxygen is a great help to document R packages, I am wondering if there exists an approach to go back from the raw Rd files to roxygen-documentation? E.g. turn "\author{Somebody}" into "@author Somebody". This sounds ridiculous, but I believe it helps in the long term for me to maintain R packages. Thanks! Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyihui at

Hi, I observed a slight problem in deparse(): it will add spaces around most operators except /. I wonder if this is easy to fix. I know this is quite trivial, but I will appreciate if / is not treated as an exception. Examples: > deparse(expression(1/1)) [1] "expression(1/1)" > deparse(expression(1+1)) [1] "expression(1 + 1)" > deparse(expression(1%in%1)) [1]

Hi, I'm aware of the definition of a "valid filename" in .SweaveValidFilenameRegexp, but I think it might be better to quote the filename when it contains spaces instead of just giving a warning. This should bring us safer LaTeX code (although I never use spaces in paths). Here is the simple patch: Index: src/library/utils/R/SweaveDrivers.R

Hi, It seems that anti-aliasing in png(type = 'cairo') is not well supported for the point symbols without boarders, e.g. pch = 16. The Cairo package works well, though. You can compare png() with CairoPNG(): png(): http://i.imgur.com/8niB3jX.png CairoPNG(): http://i.imgur.com/FZBJOxm.png f = function(dev, ..., main = '') { dev(...) plot(c(1, 2, 1, 2), c(1, 1, 2, 2),

Hi, I have spent a few hours on the R-exts manual and the documentation of parse_Rd() (as well as the PDF document in the references), but I still have not figured out what results=rd means. I thought I could use an R code fragment to create an Rd fragment dynamically. Here is an example, in which I was expected the output to be a describe list <DL> in HTML, but it turns out not to be true.

Dear R developers, I asked this question in r-help list but have not got a definite solution yet, and I think it might be more appropriate to ask developers or CRAN maintainers directly. Many software packages often have a menu item like "Check for updates" under the "Help" menu, e.g. Filezilla and Firefox, and I believe it is also necessary for R (at least for R GUI under

Hi, The imaginary unit is gone in the 'text' column in the returned data frame from getParseData(), e.g. in the example below, perhaps the text should be 1i instead of 1: > p=parse(text='1i') > getParseData(p) line1 col1 line2 col2 id parent token terminal text 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 NUM_CONST TRUE 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 0 expr

Hi all, I'm struggling a bit to get pgfSweave to lazyload objects when compiling a .Rnw file for a second time. Caching works fine except that for every run all objects get cached again and again. I've used cacheSweave which works fine; all cached objects from code-chunks with option cache = TRUE are lazy loaded. I've tried it on two machines ... I'm pretty sure I'm

Hi, I guess this issue must have been brought forward long time ago, but I still hope you can consider under Windows (during installation): 1. put R's bin path in the PATH variable of the system so that we can use the commands "R" and "Rscript" more easily; 2. remove the version string like R-2.13.0 in the default installation directory, e.g. only use a directory like

CRAN task views are useful, but they seem difficult to write and maintain because the XML format is rather limited (no sectioning) and the <packagelist> must be maintained manually. They are also difficult to read because the generated html and .css used are extremely basic, giving an overly dense page. Are there any markdown-like tools for writing a CTV? Is it possible to apply a

Hello dear R help members (and also Yihui and Romain), There are currently 28 R bloggers (out of the 117 R-bloggers<http://www.r-bloggers.com/>I know of) that are using wordpress.com for publishing their R code (and I suspect this number will increase with time). WordPress.com doesn't support R syntax highlighting, nor can it be embedded from other services (like gist

Hi All, I was wondering if there would be any interest in adding an option to the "save" function in R that I think would be useful. I was thinking that it might be useful to have an option that would generate a ".sessionInfo" variable that contains the output of "sessionInfo()", and adds it to the list of objects to be saved. This way, whenever an RData object is

Hi folks, I am trying to do a clustering and generate a long dendrogram in R on Linux server: ========= data<-read.table(file="mean_ratio.txt.noheader",row.names=1,sep="\t",quote="\"") hc<-hclust(dist(data),"ward") png(file="mean_ratio.txt.noheader.ward.png",bg="white",pointsize=8,width=32767,height=1536) plot(hc,hang=-1)

Hi all, It is recommended in ?'if' that we use 'else' right after '}' instead of starting a new line, but I noticed deparse() will separate '}' and 'else' when the 'if...else' clause is used inside {...} (e.g. function body). Here is an example: ## if/else inside {} > cat(deparse(parse(text='function(){if (TRUE) {1} else {2}}')),

Hi dear all, In my laptop(ubuntu 11.10 64bit), I maintained a released R (2.14) and a developmental R, I can specify qplot(..., alpha = ) in R 2.14 , but when I try to use transparency in developmental R, I got a warning message and the plot is clearly not I want. minimal example: > qplot(data = mtcars, x = mpg, y = cyl, alpha = cyl) Warning message: In grid.Call.graphics(L_points, x$x, x$y,
