Hi Gurus! I have a job that is to get randomly samples from point-based GIS data (sp called shape GIS files) under the total sum resctricted. For example, I would like to take random smaples under the 1000 persons in each city. The randomly sampled persons should not be over 1000 any case.

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

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.

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

Basically, I''m trying to crop multiple images out of a remote/original scene.. Think flickr ''tagging'', only, the pixs in the tagged boxes become their own unique images.. by way of simulating an upload from the controller using attachment fu.. can''t quite figure out the specific method in fu that would allow me to do this.. I''m so near the edge right

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

OK Martin. Thank you for the explanations and for your time. I am writing a program that reads and writes all existent Tags types. It lacks only to end the edition (rewriting) of "Native" Flac and Matroska. Both cases for the same problem: the separation of Tags and Picture in different blocks. In Flac I resolved it, but now I have to add METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE. Reading Vorbis

AGI's are resulting in unusual behaviors. Can someone please tell me if this is my inappropriate use of AGI's, inappropriate use of Time::HiRes, or a bug with *: I call this script twice: #!/usr/bin/perl use Time::HiRes qw( gettimeofday ); ($seconds, $microseconds) = gettimeofday; $hirestime = sprintf("%s","$seconds$microseconds"); print "SET VARIABLE

[Please use the subject line!] In the help page for summary.lm, the "Value" section says that the returned object has a component called "fstatistic", which has the F-statistic and the associated numerator and denominator degrees of freedom. You can get the p-value by something like: fstat <- summary(speciallinearmodel)$fstatistic pval <- pf(fstat[1], fstat[2],

I do use metadate since i need people to see the titles. I use livecast in mixer mode. The chopping starts right away I don't use VBR (I commented it out at least). The mp3's are made with XING audiocatalyst (for windows) so I don't really know. Sorry.

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

Hello, I wrote a wrapper for symbols() that produces a bivariate bubble plot, for use when plot(x,y) hides multiple occurrences of the same x,y combination (e.g. if x,y are integers). Circle area ~ counts per bin, and circle size is controlled by 'scale'. Question: how can I automatically make the smallest circle the same size as a standard plot character, rather than having to

Hi there, I''m writing a little application that parses an image file and extracts the camera settings from the file (the EXIF data) and saves all the fields to the database. The idea is that after awhile people will be able to search based on camera make, model, lens settings, etc... and all the pictures that meet those requirements will be displayed. The picture is stored on the file

Having tried and failed to get 1.0.8 with quota-rewrite to send warnings, I removed the 1.0.8 and installed the latest 1.1 - however I still can't get the warnings! Can someone advise what might be wrong - it must be my configuration?? To compile 1.1 I used ./configure --with-deliver --with-mysql. I've chopped and changed my conf till I'm blue in the face. My dovecot-mysql.conf file

Hello, I am using syslinux to boot a Soekris net4801 into LRP/Lince 1.2 linux. Net4801 has no video card - it has only a serial port. During bootstrap syslinux writes the text file syslinux.dpy to the serial port but it breaks the line every 15th character. I tried syslinux versions 1.66 and 2.11 with same results. In the Archives from June 3, 2002 , there is a message on this subject
