Thanks to Peter Dalgaard's message, I learned a bit more about the 'par' function and rewrote my HTML help file accordingly. Is it appropriate to submit such changes somewhere to improve the documentation? I would also be willing to write some missing documentation as well.

While writing a function that includes placing grid lines at the same position as the axis ticks, I found that the axis* functions don't return anything. Thus I have had to copy the appropriate function, removing the call to axis() and adding a line to return the tick positions. Is there a more elegant way to determine the tick positions on an axis? Thanks. Jim (normally bitwrit at

Having almost written a Tcl program to convert S help to Rd format, I have one problem that I have failed to solve after reading 'R-exts'. Is there a tag something like '\item' that works in a similar way but doesn't have to be after an '\arguments' or '\value' tag? I'm trying to include sections on 'MODEL PARAMETERS' and 'DESIGN

Hi, Plenty to talk about today. Dave Nelsen, a founder of Talkshoe, has a lot of experience in the telecommunications space and he joins us today to chat about its current state, conferencing and whatever else comes to mind. So we have a meta conference aout conferencing, it won't be the first time :) You probably saw John Todd's message on one of the lists: Skype for Asterisk is in open

Hi , I ''ve got a trouble with using R. When I want to load a file that contains 93 thousand raws and 22 colums of data (essentially float) R shows me this error message "heap size trouble" Does anyone could tell me what parameter shall I precise before launching R in order to load my big file. Thanks a lot -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was

Hi All, I created a new rails application using rails 1.0. I used "ruby script\generate scaffold" for each of my tables. This worked on all but 2 of my tables. When I go to the new or edit action of my requests or admins table, I get the error below. On one table called admins I hadn''t followed the correct naming convention and wasn''t able to edit or create

I’d like to discuss revising the LLVM coding conventions to change the naming of variables to start with a lowercase letter. This should not be a discussion on the pain of such a transition, or how to get from here to there, but rather, if there is a better place to be. My arguments for the change are: 1. No other popular C++ coding style uses capitalized variable names. For instance here

Hi, Can anyone tell me what might cause this error message? Error in .Fortran("swallocate", as.double(mtx), as.double(wt), as.integer(n), : C/Fortran function name not in load table This occurs when I copied the Splus stepwise() function into R. I can source into R fine, but when I need to call that function on some dataset, I got the above error message. Platform

The discussion on editors prompts the following comments. 1) One reason I put "Kickstarting R" together is that most people come to R as migrants; they already have an editor, a browser, etc. that they know how to use. Learning one thing is easier than learning many (Jon Baron's comment on interference is most relevant). 2) NotePad isn't a great editor, but it will serve for

Hi, from example(capitalize) of the Hmisc package (v 0.8.3) you get: > capitalize(c("Hello", "bob", "daN")) [1] "Hello" "Bob" "daN" Is that "daN" correct? If so, then this behavior that only *all lowercase strings*, which the code indicates, will be capitalized is not documented. > Hmisc::capitalize function

bRotheRs & sisteRs, I am once again attempting to learn enough Latex voodoo to get something done, and failing comically. The document "RJAuthorguide.pdf" mentions that one can get page width figures through the use of the "figure*" or "table* environments, but despite considerable searching through the mail archives and reading Frank Harrell's discussion of
