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 ... WARNING Codoc mismatches from documentation object

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, 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, The problem arises when I lazyLoad() the .Random.seed from a previously saved database. To simplify the process of reproducing the problem, see the example below: ## this assignment may not really make sense, but illustrates the problem delayedAssign('.Random.seed', 1L) typeof(.Random.seed) # [1] "integer" rnorm(1) # Error in rnorm(1) : # .Random.seed is not an integer

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, 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, 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, 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}}')),

I'm using the function htmlParse() in the XML package, and I need a little bit help on error handling while parsing an HTML page. So far I can use either the default way: # error = xmlErrorCumulator(), by default library(XML) doc = htmlParse("http://www.public.iastate.edu/~pdixon/stat500/") # the error message is: # htmlParseStartTag: invalid element name or the tryCatch()

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.

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, 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

See the example below (under Ubuntu): $ Rscript -e '1' -e '2' [1] 1 [1] 2 $ Rscript -e '1' -e '' -e '2' ERROR: option '-e' requires an argument $ uname -a Linux xie 3.5.0-25-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 25 18:26:58 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Similar problem under Windows: Rscript -e "1" -e "" -e "2" [1]

Hi R useRs: How can I generate a random sample from Maxwell Distribution in C language? Since I know the function rmaxwell {VGAM}, I tried the function r2c {r2c}. But I still cannot find the source code. Thanks for your kind help. RegaRds, 2010-03-12 Randel [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
