I am trying to figure out why checking my package is deleting my inst/doc/ directory when I do it in RStudio. Along the way I've hit another puzzle. In RStudio the check runs and is mostly OK, aside from the deletion. But when I try with vanilla R, the check fails almost immediately: -------------------------powershell--------------------------- PS C:\Users\rdboylan\Documents\BP\pimex>

Dear R list, I'm using R 2.15.2 with TeX Live 2009 and ESS 12.09 . I have a R project in the '/home/r/Documents/myproj/', which is my working directory (where I have the .Rnw file). Inside the document I have several "setwd()" to collect the datasets I use. After I compile from the terminal using "R CMD Sweave myproj.Rnw", I receive the error: Error in

Hi, I can't get the non-abbreviated class names of the rows and the cols of the Adjacency Matrix: setClass("ClassWithALongName") setClass("SubclassOfClassWithALongName", contains="ClassWithALongName") Trying all possible values for 'abbreviate' (with R-2.9.0): > classesToAM("SubclassOfClassWithALongName", abbreviate=0)

Thanks to Tony Plate for letting me know what the abbreviate.arg option does. I think this could be made more flexible (I.e. =TRUE, =FALSE, =#, where # would be passed to the abbreviate min.length argument). But it follows the example I was given. "print.factor" <- function (x, quote = FALSE, max.levels=5, print.levels = {if (max.levels==0) FALSE else TRUE},

For a variety of displays (mosaicplots, barplots, ...) one often wants to either abbreviate or wrap long labels, particularly when these are made up of several words. In general, it would be nice to have a function, abbreviate.or.wrap <- function(x, maxlength=10, maxlines=2, split=" ") { } that would take a character vector or a list of vectors, x, and try to abbreviate or wrap

Full_Name: Ross Boylan Version: 2.10.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (198.144.201.14) Some of the help for setGeneric seems to have been garbled. In the section "Basic Use", 5th paragraph (where the example counts as a single line 3rd paragraph) it says <quote> Note that calling 'setGeneric()' in this form is not strictly necessary before calling

Dear R-devel, I've made some potential extensions to writeForeignSAS in 'foreign' that I wanted to pass along if anyone is interested. I've attached the diff -u output against the version found in foreign_0.8-15 and an .R file with my changes. (In this .R file, the function is named writeForeignSAS7 to simplify testing/comparisons.) I've tried to alter the current

Dear all (copying the package author), I have a question on the vlmc package. I am trying to model a time series, where each element can take one of 11 values (the result of some clustering). When I run the following command (synthetic data to facilitate self-contained example) I get the following warning: ("alphabet with >1-letter strings; trying to abbreviate") +++ START+++ >

Hallo! Trying to configure Xemacs to work with .snw files on windows 2000. Tried to do it how it is described in the FAQ for Sweaves. When starting xemacs with and Snw file *ESS* buffer contains hundrets of lines and the few last ones. (ess-loop-timeout . 500000) (inferior-ess-primary-prompt . ^) (inferior-ess-secondary-prompt . ^) (comint-use-prompt-regexp-instead-of-fields . t)

After the discussions about appropriate editors under Windows to use with R, I have managed to install Emacs, XEmacs, and ESS under WinNT 4.0, and these work fine. It's not necessary to compile anything to use R with ESS, just to install Emacs and ESS, and do a few modifications in some files. XEmacs is also easy to install but apparently ESS cannot run with it (confirmed by a message by Tony

Dear R-help, Apologies if this isn't exactly the right place for this question. I am trying to run R in emacs using ESS. I have done this successfully many times - it works right now on my home computer in windows 7 and in ubuntu. The problem is that when I start emacs the regular splash screen doesn't show. In the mini-buffer I get the message "Finding all versions of R on your

Sorry for the cross-post: not sure whether it's Rterm or ESS (or something else?)... I'm running R (1.5.0 patched 2002-05-09, compiled from source on WinNT4) under ESS 5.1.21 with XEmacs 21.4.6. When I plotted a graph on the windows() device, and then use the menu in the R graphics window to print the graph, the printer selection dialog box does not show up until I go to the *R* buffer

Dear list, I've tried several times to wrap my head around the Design library, without much success. It does some really nice things, but I'm often uncomfortable because I don't understand exactly what it's doing. Anyway, one thing I really like is the latex.ols() function, which converts an R linear model formula to a LaTeX equation. So, I started writing a latex.lm() function

Dear R users, Does anyone notice that Rterm.exe does not work well with rxvt.exe, an xterm emulator for Cygwin? It produces an error message window with the following message: This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor It also prints "Signal 127" in rxvt window. Rterm --ess, however, works.

What is the easiest way to change within vector of strings each letter after a space into a capital letter? E.g.: c( "this is an element of the vector of strings", "second element" ) becomes: c( "This Is An Element Of The Vector Of Strings", "Second Element" ) My reason to try to do this is to get more readable abbreviations. (A suggestion would be to

Dear all, I'm working with R 1.2.2 on win98 (256Mb RAM) with ESS 5.1.18. It happens that the start-up is very slow. I don't know exactly how to measure, but with a simple watch I recorded 15 seconds, while the startup of S+ 2000 (Sqpe+4 under ESS) takes around 3 seconds. Tha fact is that sometimes it takes almost a minute (58.30 sec recorded) for the prompt to appear! And ESS gives me an

I have two questions: 1. I've tried to use the lattice package with the development version of R (1.5.0), windows 2000, and it consistantly crashes RGUI and Rterm, on two seperate installations... 2. The real question... Is it possible to change the barchart horizontal bars on lattice to give vertical bars? If so, could you please give me a hint on how to do so? Thanks, Shawn Way

I have downloaded rw0632 (Windows Version) from the CRAN at ETH Zuerich. Im working with NT4.0 Service Pack 4. I can start without any problems the GUI program Rgui.exe. But by using Rterm.exe (batch mode or with ESS respectivelly) I always get an error "the instruction at "0x10018ee8" referenced memory at ""......." Any ideas what is wrong? Best Regards Markus

I have started using R 1.5.0 on Windows 2000. The refinement of this system in such a short time is astounding, and I thank those who have worked on it and made it available! I have been using rterm.exe to develop R scripts in my preferred editor (not emacs) by sending the command rterm.exe --save < %f where the editor substitutes the filename for %f. This works wonderfully, and the
