Can you confirm this problem : ###--------- RESHAPING x11() window has more problems: ---- x11() plot(1:8)# as expected: <<<<<<<< NO Problem, if you OMIT this plot !! ##-- now RESHAPE the x11() - window ! par(pty = 's') # should make SQUARE plotting region plot(1:8) #-- oops, not yet... plot(1:8) # now !

Perhaps, the question is silly. But, I prefer asking it before making a mistake. I have just packed a binary distribution of R for Windows3.1/Win32s. It is equivalent to the previous one for Win95/NT (R-0.61.3 + many of the available packages) and it is compiled with egcs-mingw32 (GPL not a commercial compiler). Now, in preparing the README, I put the following sentence:

Hi, I've trouble compiling R-0.49 (with both patches applied) on a HP-UX sim B.10.20 A 9000/819 machine: ranlib ../lib/libappl.a cd regex; make c89 -Ae -g -I../include -DPOSIX_MISTAKE -c regcomp.c cc: warning 422: Unknown option "-Ae" ignored. cc: "../include/regex.h", line 50: error 1000: Unexpected symbol: "regoff_t". cc:

Martin Your revisions to my S--R compatability code suggest that tempfile() is in R after 0.49. I don't find that to be the case. It requires code from Friedrich Leisch which still has to be added as of 0.50 alpha3.

Just a word to mention that I have lost 2 hours yesterday to find out why R refused to use a function from a package calling C-code. R invariably answered that the C code was not in the load table (something like this). I have tried everything (or nearly) to solve my problem knowing that this same package used to work on my computer at the university. Finally, I found out that running the same

Hi, I installed R-0.63.3 version on SGI machine running IRIX 6.5. Machine details: 319 <mind.krasnow.gmu.edu:R-0.63.3> uname -a IRIX64 mind 6.5 07271714 IP27 I used gcc (egcs1.1.1) and g77 combination. I use the GNU make rather than the sgi make. I went through your help mailing list and found that I have to edit the Mathlib.h file in src/include directory to undefine certain definitions

I want to cite R for an article. What is the right thing to do? Shall I include "Notes on R" or is there a better way? -- mailto:koloska at rcs.urz.tu-dresden.de http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~koloska/ -- -- right now the web page is in german only but this will change as time goes by ;-)

NA's in a data frame are not handled properly, if the data frame was read in using read.table (but I'm not sure if that is the reason of the problems): (I'm using Debian Linux 1.3) If I read the file *************** 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 ? 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 *************** into R using read.table I run into troubles: R : Copyright 1997, Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka Version 0.49 Beta

Questions on image: 1) How can I put labels on the x and y axes? 2) How to tell it to use e.g. 32 grey levels (not some colour map)? 3) How to know what the legend is (i.e. each grey level = what z value)? Thanks very much for any help. BTW I was wondering if persp was on the To Do list. That would be great! Bill Simpson

Hallo Friedrich, I have read your announcement, downloaded and installed it in R-0.61.3.

I have attached an image file created by R. The image has white horizontal lines between the cells. The image looks OK in the R Graphics window, but has the horiz lines when viewed in Ghostview (after using save.plot) or when printed out using print.plot. There appears to be a problem with the image code (maybe this will go away in the new version). I am running under Linux and am using 61.1.

Hi, I'm a beginner of R. I find it absoluty fantastic, flexible and very extensible. For the moment only a curiosity.. Why the name R? (are they perhaps the initials of Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka?, or is the name correlated with S language?) Sorry for my poor question but I am very curious Thank in advance Paolo C.

I know I've seen the answer to this question but could not find it now: What's the appropriate(s) general reference(s) for the "R language and environment for statistical computing and graphics" that should be included in a scientific article?

It does look like Gentleman and Ihaka not only lied to the New York Times, but also to the New Zealand Herald and who knows who else. This is disgusting. The R programming language is the S programming language, and Gentleman and Ihaka are not the ones who designed it. http://thenewyorktimesissloppy.blogspot.com/
