similar to: grDevices::bringToTop is documented but not available: A bug?

It's a Windows-only function. It looks like revision r75103 moved it out of the Windows section of the help pages six years ago. Some other help pages were similarly moved, e.g. - ?windows and ?windowsFonts, document the functions as being Windows-only. - ?msgWindow and ?windows.options have the same issue as ?bringToTop. Maybe someone remembers the intention of that move...

Currently (R-2.7.1 on Windows) bringToTop(stay=TRUE) when run before a device is opened, gives the error message > bringToTop(stay=TRUE) Error in bringToTop(stay = TRUE) : can only bring windows devices to the front > In the same circumstances, a call to par() opens a device. My request is to modify bringToTop(). If bringToTop() determines that it is running in an interactive

Full_Name: Henrik Bengtsson Version: R v1.7.1 OS: WinXP Pro Submission from: (NULL) (130.235.2.229) bringToTop() does not work if some windows has been closed. Example: graphics.off() x11() # opens Figure 2 x11() # opens Figure 3 dev.set(2) dev.off() # closes Figure 2 bringToTop(3) # Gives an error # Error in bringToTop(as.integer(which)) : invalid value of `which'

Hi all who know R on Windows, Quick question: Is there a way to do "bringToTop(stay=TRUE)" without giving "focus"? I would like to pop a graph window but I would like to preserve focus in the window which I was in before. Thanks for any lead, Chris

Hola! I have problems running Rcmd check (windows 98, R1.3.0) It ckoks on an example running a function which calla bringToTop(). This makes an error because Rcmd check runs the examples with the postscript device, and bringToTop does not make sense with that device. Howevere, my function is for interactive use, and needs bringToTop. How can this be used in examples and still have the

Dears, I've been learning biplot (Gabriel, 1971) and I found the function 'biplot', inside of the package 'stats', useful but, a bit limited. So, I'm thinking to start a colaborative package to enhance this methods to other multivariate methods. In this way, I would like to start it, making public a new function (biplot.pca, still in development, but running) that make

Dear all, I have posted these questions in r-help list but since I am getting no reply, I concluded that I must asked my question in the wrong list so here I am! Here is my questions: 1- Under a WINDOWS installation of R-2.4.1, can we change the naming of a new ploting device open by the command "windows()"?. Instead of the default name e.g.: "Device 2" I would like

If I run the following: > windows() > > bringToTop(-1) > > interactive() [1] TRUE > > run <- readline(prompt = "Continue (Yes = 1, No = 2):") Continue (Yes = 1, No = 2): > dummy <- 1 > run [1] "" it does not allow user input though the session is interactive (it jumps right over the readline command). It would be great

Dear Users, I have a little problem with assignment operator. It's working from command prompt but does not work same as in the command prompt in the function. Am I missing or forgetting something? The function is (tried on both 2.13.1 and 2.13.2) as below using arules and arulseViz packages: >kuralfonk function() { require(arules) require(arulesViz)

Hi, I have opened 2 different graphic devices on screen with windows(3) and Windows(4) (I already have had an other graphic on screen opened in device 2). Now device 3 is inactive and device 4 is active. How i can make device 3 active to plot in device 3 and after make device 4 active to have a different plot in it?? For what i am doing it is important to first open the graphic devices -

Hi, perhaps the answer to my question is obvious and I didn?t find it because I?m new to R ... The problem is as follows: I read some data from file, do some commands which are well processed and finally make some graphics. OK Then I put these commands together in a *.R file which I can process ... Among these i. e. is sum_input = summary(mydatatable) sum_input ..... plot(mydatatable) What

Hi, Is there any way to pass an integer from R to C and have it cast as a pointer? # Win32 Example: library(tcltk) tt <- tktoplevel() hWndString <- tclvalue(tkwm.frame(tt)) # I'll avoid posting code to this function: source("http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/folders/james/R/hexStringToDecimalInteger.R") hWnd <- hexStringToDecimalInteger(hWndString) system32 <-

Dear all, I've been learning biplot (Gabriel, 1971) and some days ago I sent for this list a procedural function with invitation for a collaborative package. Jari Oksanen made some suggestions and I agree with all. So, I reworked the function under the object-oriented programming (OOP/S3). I think it is now a good frame for more resources. Below it is the function and a small script to

In R on Windows (ver 7) I have somehow set the preferences for the R console window to be always on top. I'm sure at the time I did this it seemed like a good idea, but in practice it is not. Unfortunately, I cannot remember where the setting is changed, and thus it is stuck this way. Does anyone know how to modify this setting? Thanks, -Robert Robert M. Flight, Ph.D. Bioinformatics and

Hi, I am an R beginner and wish to create some 3d plots. I have managed to install the rgl library and save 3d plots, but only as an R file. I wish to use rgl.snapshot so I can create a ".png" file and the plot can be used in LaTex. The function rgl.snapshot does not work (i get an error "failed" message). Having looked at previous posts, I believe that the problem can sorted

Hi, There's probably some simple way of doing this, but I'm just not seeing it - How do I get the background to be white instead of grey when I have a cloud plot (using the lattices package)? par(bg="white") isn't working. I'm assuming par commands won't work on lattice plots. What should I use instead? Thanks, Adrienne [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hola! I am producing postscript output from R (windows 98), both using firts the windows devicd and then " copy to postscript", or using the postscript device directly. The problem shows up equally both ways. The function producing the plot is given below. The only difference I can see with this function and other I have producing plots, is that this uses split.screen(). I include the

Hi again, It seems that dev.set() will solve my problem. It took me quite a bit of time, search and frustration until i stumbled on dev.set ;-) Thanks anyway, Monica From: pisicandru@hotmail.comTo: r-help@r-project.orgSubject: [R] Question about making active a previously opened graphic deviceDate: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 15:02:40 +0000 Hi, I have opened 2 different graphic devices on screen

Using Thomas Baier's DCOM server I can do the following (in Windows 2000): I create a slider in Excel, and the sliders On_Change event triggers a call to R. This call redraws an R graph, and so I have animated R graphics controlled by Excel's slider. The problem is that Excel needs focus so i can grab the slider, and therefore it partially covers R's graph window. Is there a way to
