similar to: HDF5 support in R

In version 0.63.0 for Win95, I can use text() to write into the left margin (to the left of the axis) as follows: > plot(0:10,0:10,pch="+") > text(c(1,0.5,0,-0.5,-1),1,"O") I see 5 "O" symbols at the expected position, two of which are left of the left axis. However, in version 0.64.0 for Solaris 2.5.1 on a Sparc/Ultra2, I only see three "O"

I'm an R newbie, so please forgive if this question has been asked and answered many times before on this mailing list. I can't find anything in the manual (Notes or R), the FAQ or on CRAN, so... Has anyone implemented an interface so R can read NCSA's HDF? -- Terry J. Westley, Principal Engineer Veridian Engineering, Calspan Operations P.O. Box 400, Buffalo, NY 14225 twestley at

Is there a way to measure the length of a character string as text() or mtext() would display it? Not in characters, but in inches or user coordinates. I'm displaying a hierarchical list in the left margin. I'd like to determine the length of the labels so that I can resize the plot so the labels don't spill over into the plot area. Like this:

I need to build R (we're currently at R version 0.64.0) for Solaris 2.5.1 on SunSPARC without using the libF77.so and libsunmath.so shared libraries. I'd like to use statically linked libraries instead. Nothing I have tried has worked as measured by executing the command "ldd R.binary" to see whether it references the shared libraries or not. This is what I've tried: 1)

hello, I have a problem to open an hdf file. i have downloaded the package 'hdf5' as it was advised on R seek. But when i try to load the file, the R console sends me an eror message: setwd("C:/Documents and Settings/Karine/Bureau/data/") #install.packages('hdf5') library("hdf5") sea_ice <- hdf5load("asi-s6250-20090704-v5i.hdf", load =

I've a plot which puts some text and lines in a wider than normal left margin (using xpd=T). When I use dev.print() to capture the plot to postscript, it faithfully duplicates the plot except for the graphics in the left margin. I can't duplicate this effect in a simple plot such as plot(runif(10)), so I can't give you sample code. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? R version

*Hi everyone, I am a new subscriber, so I hope I'm posting in the right way. I need to load a hdf5 file, so I installed the hdf5 libraries ad the hdf5 R package; in downloaded a small sample file from the hdf5 website and I could correctly load it. But when I try to load my file: * require(hdf5) rm(list=ls()) ls() hdf5load("my_file.h5", verbosity=3) *I get this error message: *

Is there a GIF graphics device or some other way to generate a GIF from an R plot instead of postscript? Then, I could paste a plot right into PowerPoint or Word. -- Terry J.

1) Is it possible to erase data points, legends, and/or text from an R plot? 2) What's the best way to find the closest data point to what locator() returns? For more background and some context on these questions, read on... In using R interactively, I am displaying further details about a specific data point when the user clicks on the plot point. Here's a simple example: #

Dear all, I'm trying to fix a subtle bug in the hdf5 package. This package provides an interfaces to the HDF5 library and hence allows one to load data into R from files in the HDF5 format. The bug appeared during a period in which R changed but the package did not. I include below both the R and C code, stripped of everything except what is needed to show the bug. What is supposed to

Suppose you're reading data from a file in which the column names contain underscore characters. Example: ------ start of file ----- pos_x pos_y 1.0 0.0 2.0 1.0 ------ end of file ------- Using read.table, I can read this file just fine: > data <- read.table (file="data", head=T) > data pos_x pos_y 1 1 0 2 2 1 > However, I can't

Is there a way to read a file one line at a time? My file is potentially very large (multiple gigabytes) so I'd like to read and process one line at a time. The only choices I see are: 1) Direct the file to standard input and use readline(), but then I have to parse the data columns myself. 2) Call scan() with nlines=1 over and over again, incrementing skip, but I suspect that it will

Hello: Has anyone successfully installed the package hdf5-1.4.7 in R version 1.7.1? I get a fatal error with a core dump (see below) whenever I try to use hdf5load. Since I'm in the process of moving to a new machine, I'm not sure whether this is due to (my installations of) the HDF5 libs or the hdf5 package for R. Just for the record, the HDF5 data files were correctly generated in the

Has anyone successfully installed ESS on Win95? I have emacs version 19.34.6 and R version 0.63.3. The ESS README and Makefiles seem pretty Unix-specific. -- Terry J.

Hi all, I'm testing the use of the hdf5 R library under Windows XP. With some simple example (an R list with several subobjects as showed in the examples in the library) the library exports and imports .hdf files adequately. However, if I try to open the exported file with another program (HDFView 2.5) I receive the message that the file is an unsupported format. HDFView 2.5 does not seems to

When running R in batch mode, I would like to detect certain errors and prevent them from terminating the script. Specifically, when I read in a file with read.table() and the file is empty, the script terminates. There are occasions when an empty file is OK, so I'd like to continue running. How can I catch such errors? -- Terry J. Westley, Software Systems Engineering Supervisor Veridian

Dear R-user group I am currently running R-0.90.1-1 for LinuxPPC on my PowerBook. Few days ago I have seen at CRAN that a new R-package exists, namely R-base-with-hdf5-0.90.1-2. Sorrowly, I could not find any explanation, what the difference to the other package is. I have downloaded the "Introduction to HDF5 Release 1.2" from hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5. It seems that HDF5 is a data

I've used the HDF5 library to bring some data into R. THe verbose output looks like this: > hdf5load("hdfGraphWed_Mar_16_13_33_37_2005.hdf",load=T,verbosity=1,tidy=T) Processing object: cprSeats ...... which is a Group Processing object: Seats 0 ...... its a dataset......Finished dataset Processing object: Seats 1 ...... its a dataset......Finished dataset Processing object:

The package works fine, but it seems not to provide access to fields, but only to the whole data in a certain file (function hdf5load(file, load = TRUE, verbosity = 0, tidy = FALSE)) Since hdf5 organizes the data and metadata in a hierarchical structure, we must explore in our problem (file>7GB), but it seems not possible with the functions in the package. Any suggestions? Please, let me know

Hi there, I am currently working on something that uses hdf5 library. I think hdf5 is a great data format, I've used it somewhat extensively in python via PyTables. I was looking for something similar to that in R. The closest I can get is this library: hdf5. While it does not work the same way as PyTables did, but it's good enough to let them exchange data via hdf5 file. There is just 1
