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

I heartily second Phillipe's response. I just started a new job and the first thing required was a neat stats report for a dataset. I thought I would give R2HTML a try and about 5 minutes after downloading it, I was looking at the first draft of the report. I did have to do a bit of hacking on the graphics, but it was easy and I can now present the report first thing in the morning. Had I

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

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

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

I've had time to return to the "external editor" project. The following function does almost what I want, which is to allow an external editor to feed command lines to R. ext.editor<-function(editor) { ext.input<-pipe(editor,"r") eval(parse(ext.input)) close(ext.input) } While the description of parse() indicates that it should parse input line by line, the

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.

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

Hi all, I would like to ask your help to add a color band (Ι am not sure regarding the right term, this color band at the right of the plot "describing" values with their corresponding color. For now I have only this code test<-matrix(data=runif(10000),nrow=100) plot(test,axes="FALSE") axis(1,at=c(0,1),labels=c("a","b")) # but  I would like to add

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

Hello. The data.table package is very helpful in terms of speed. But I am having trouble actually using the output from linear regression. Is there any way to get the data.table output to be as pretty/useful as that from the plyr package? Below is an example. library('data.table'); library('plyr'); REG <-

Hi all, In the course of ongoing improvement of plotrix, I was alerted to the fact that setting, e.g.: par(font.lab=3, font.axis=3) only seems to work for "plot" (and maybe other functions), but not for "axis". par(font=3) works for everything (except the title, which is probably specified separately), but there are probably situations in which someone doesn't want
