Has anyone succeeded in using HDF5 in R? Using Solaris R version 0.64.0: 1) R was configured in this way: cd /home/westley/R/R-0.64.0 setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/home/westley/HDF/lib ./configure \ --prefix=/home/westley/R \ --with-g77=/usr/calspan/gnu/bin/g77 \ --x-lib=/usr/openwin/lib \ --with-hdf5-libs=/home/westley/HDF/lib 2) But, when I attempt to

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"

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.

> R code works but the shared objects built from fortran code do not find > the appropriate libs with functions like __pow_ii or __epx at runtime. I used to have endless trouble with __pow_ii which as I recall could be be fixed by the correct incantation of the mix of compiler libraries and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It seemed to be extremely sensitive and never easy to get right. The problem is

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

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.

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

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: #

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'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

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

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

I'm just trying to install 62.1 under Solaris. Making the program reports no errors, but when I try to run R I get ld.so.1: /home/res8/gilp/R-versions/R-0.62.1/bin/R.binary: fatal: libF77.so.2: can't open file: errno=2 Is there any standard place where I should be looking to find libF77? When make moves on to building the documents I get the errors below. (Is this because configure did

Hello again! Thanks to Dr. Brian Ripley, the make problem I reported earlier has been solved, and R-0.64.1 is now successfully installed and tested. There were two essential problems with the stock configuration: (i) the Fortran option -fPIC was not being propagated to certain Makefiles further down the tree; (ii) gmake was not being recognized when the library files were being

Task: To generate HTML output from R Details: I am trying to serve up HTML output from R. That is analyses or table of data from R saved as HTML output with formatted tables etc. This file is then called in a CGI script to output to user browser. The CGI script inspired by Mark J. Ray reads the HTML output, formats the header and footer and any graphic output if necessary. My question is: Has
