similar to: adding "Page X of XX" to PDFs

Having read all of the replies, it seems there are solutions for the question and the OP points out that some solutions such as making the document twice will affect the creation date. I suspect the additional time to do so is seconds or at most minutes so it may not be a big deal. But what about the idea of creating a PDF with a placeholder like "Page N of XXX" and after the file has

One of the most fundamental characteristics of R programming is the use of data frames of column vectors, and one of the very first challenges I had as a then-Perl-programmer was coming to grips with the fact that unknown-length CSV files would be read completely into memory as rows and once the entire CSV was in memory it would be transposed into column vectors. I was resistant to this philosophy

You could easily omit the Page X of xX, but leave the timestamp Then add Page X of XX programmatically using pdftools or some similar pdf command line tools.

Would this work in general? Say I have a document with figures, special equations, text, and tables. The text and tables are relatively easy. The figures would need a conversion from pixels to lines, and the equations maybe printed out, counted as a figure, and then added to the line count. It would also be tricky if a title line was at 32 point font and the text at 12, and the more complex the

It's still not entirely clear to me what framework you're using to generate the PDF, but if it's rmarkdown/Rnw (Sweave)/Quarto-based, then as far as I know all of those frameworks use LaTeX as the last step in the script-to-PDF pipeline, and allow the inclusion of arbitrary LaTeX code, so the 'lastpage' package would do this for you:

Sorry, jumped into the thread too late. (On the other hand, once the document gets complicated enough, it may be worth it in the long run to convert to something that actually has a document-generating back-end, rather than reinventing everything from scratch ...)

R 2.15.1 OS X (MLion) Colleagues, I am aware that changes in mfrow / mfcol in par() affect cex (from help: In a layout with exactly two rows and columns the base value of ?"cex"? is reduced by a factor of 0.83: if there are three or more of either rows or columns, the reduction factor is 0.66). I generate a multipage PDF in which mfrow varies such that cex is impacted. This affect

R 2.15.1 OS X Colleagues, I am reading a 1 GB file into R using read.table. The file consists of 100 tables, each of which is headed by two lines of characters. The first of these lines is: TABLE NO. 1 The second is a list of column headers. For example: TABLE NO. 1 COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 COL5 COL6 COL7 COL8 COL9 COL10

Colleagues After reading in some clinical data, I discovered that the subject ID column contains entries only for the first record for each individual; subsequent rows are recorded as NA. For example: > 1 > NA > NA > NA > NA > 2 > NA > NA > NA > NA > 3 > NA > NA > ... I can think of various approaches to replace the NA values with appropriate

Colleagues Running R2.2.1 on either a Linux (RedHat 9) or Mac (10.4) platform. I created a PDF document using pdf("FILENAME.pdf", bg="transparent", version="1.4"). I then imported the graphic into PowerPoint - background was set to a non-transparent color. I was hoping that the inserted graphic would be transparent - instead, it had a white background.

R 4.0.2 OS X Colleagues Does R have the capability of adding text (e.g., page numbers) to an existing PDF (previously created with R) -- other than adding this text, the PDF should be unchanged (except for a new filename). The intent is as follows: I have multiple PDFs that I eventually merge into a single PDF, separating each one with a separator page. The content of the separator pages

I have data in the following format: > DATE [1] "01/13/2004" In order to find the difference between two data points, I presently use brute force to calculate the day of the year: > strptime(DATE, format="%m/%d/%Y")$yday [1] 12 Although this works, it may not be robust over different years. I assume that R is sufficiently clever that a much simpler approach

Colleagues, I am using R (2.9.2, all platforms) to search for a complicated text string using regular expressions. I would appreciate any help you can provide. The string consists of the following elements: SOMEWORDWITHNOSPACES any number of spaces and/or tabs ( any number of spaces and/or tabs integer any number of spaces and/or tabs ) Examples include: WORD ( 123 ) WORD(1 )

R 4.0.2 OS X Colleagues I have the unfortunate need to create a large number of tables (destined for a Word document). I need to color cells depending on the contents, e.g., blue if the value is < 0.5, red if the value is > 1.5. If the output went initially to Excel, that would work; outputting directly to Word would be even better. I expect that several packages can accomplish this. I

Colleagues R 2.10.1 on a Mac I read in textfiles using readLines, then I process those files, then I use R to execute another program. Occasionally those files contain characters other than letter / numbers / routine punctuation marks. For example, a bullet (option-8 on a Mac) triggers the problem. Although R can read and process those characters, the other program cannot so I would like to

R 4.2.2 OS X Colleagues A file that I have read includes strings like this: "EVENT ? 30 sec" When I include the string in a graphic using: mtext(STRING, ?) it appears as: "EVENT ... 30 sec" Is there a simple work-around (short of reformatting all the strings, then using plotmath)?

Colleagues, I have created a list in the following manner: TEST <- list(c("A1", "A2"), c("B1", "B2"), c("C1", "C2")) I now want to delete one element from the list, e.g., the third. The command TEST[[3]] yields (as expected): [1] "C1" "C2" The command TEST[[-3]] yields: Error:

R 2.12.2 Windows 7 Colleagues, I just took advantage of the function: readWindowsShortcut in R.utils. It accomplished my goals and I was interested in learning its inner workings. So, I typed the function at the command line (without arguments or parentheses). R returned: function (...) UseMethod("readWindowsShortcut") <environment: namespace:R.utils> providing no

Colleagues I am learning lattice graphics (R 2.12.2; OS X). Several days ago, I inquired about adding margin text to lattice graphics. Jim Price offered a useful reply, suggesting that I add: page = function(page) grid.text('words', x = 0.5, y = 0.01) to my call to the function. The entire function that he suggested was; xyplot(1 ~ 1, par.settings = list(layout.heights =
