I use as.vector() on a data frame and I get a data frame in return. No warning. I have to use as.matrix() first. Why is that? Doesn't make sense to me. I'm using R 1.2.0 on Linux. > F <- data.frame(a = c(1,2,3), b = c(4,5,6)) > F a b 1 1 4 2 2 5 3 3 6 > V <- as.vector(F) > V a b 1 1 4 2 2 5 3 3 6 > attributes(V)

If tbl is an object of class 'dist', you can do this: a <- sammon(tbl, k=3) But you can't do this: b <- isoMDS(tbl, k=3) Wouldn't it be sensible to have identical interfaces to sammon() and isoMDS() ? I think all that would be needed is to change this: isoMDS <- function(d, y=cmdscale(d, 2), maxit=50, trace=TRUE) { ...into this: isoMDS <-

I have a package with in the documentation: in \usage : \dots in \arguments: \ldots This is how I interpreted "Use \dots for the dots in function argument lists ..., and \ldots for ellipsis dots in ordinary text" in "Writing R Extensions". When I did `R CMD check' in R version 1.3.1 all was fine. With R version 1.4.0 I get : * checking for undocumented arguments

I want to use a shortcut for copying figures to EPS. I defined this function in .Rprofile: ps <- function(file="Rplot.eps", width=7, height=7, ...) { dev.copy2eps(file=file, width=width, height=height, ...) } This doesn't work: > data(cars) > plot(cars) > ps() Error in device(...) : Object "width" not found Can anyone tell me

Has anyone succeeded in compiling R on HP-UX? I'm trying to compile R version 1.1.0 on a HP-UX 10.20 machine. I run into the following problems: I got a compile error on src/unix/X11/rbitmap.c which I solved by including setjmp.h. After that, and after editing the Makefiles a bit cause gcc en ld can't find all the libraries, I finally get it to compile. Then I run "make

The last line gets duplicated when a file is read like this: a <- scan(file=filename, what="", sep="\n", strip.white=c(TRUE), quiet=TRUE) (This error does not occur on Linux, the only other platform I tested.) Version: platform = hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20 arch = hppa2.0 os = hpux10.20 system = hppa2.0, hpux10.20 Actually, all binaries are

Suppose, I have a file "data1" containing: 450 390 467 654 30 542 334 432 421 357 497 493 550 549 467 575 578 342 446 547 534 495 979 479 I can read this file with: scan("data1") Read 24 items [1] 450 390 467 654 30 542 334 432 421 357 497 493 550 549 467 575 578 342 446 [20] 547 534 495 979 479

The definition for dev.copy2eps contains the following line: oc$paper <- "special" The result of this is that the output will be placed in the left bottom corner of the page. Even though dev.copy2eps is meant for creating files that are to be included into other documents, you might want to print the figure directly, just to see how it will look on paper. (Of course, this will

I have a figure on screen with a legend. I want to copy this image to EPS, and use: dev.copy2eps(file="file1.eps", width=5, height=5) The legend that looks OK on screen doesn't look OK in the PostScript image: the text extends out of the box. I try adding a fontsize command: dev.copy2eps(file="file1.eps", width=5, height=5, pointsize=5) This options seems to

Running 'make check' I get two errors: running code in 'mva-Ex.R' .../usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: meet_ (code) from /users1/kleiweg/R-1.6.0-source/library/cluster/libs/cluster.sl running code in 'tcltk-Ex.R' .../usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: Tcl_EvalObjv (code) from /users1/kleiweg/R-1.6.0-source/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.sl Version: platform =

I'm not sure this list is the right place for this thing. I noticed some erratic behaviour in sammon(). Running sammon on two nearly identical sets of data results in very different results. Below is an example. I create an initial configuration with cmdscale() and store it into 'vec1'. I write this to file, and read it back in again to 'vec2'. According to cor() on the three

Anyone who is interested in using optimal colour palettes should look at the work of Cindy Brewer: www.colorbrewer.org I have written code to use her colour schemes in R. It is included below. Perhaps someone may find this interesting enough to work into a package. Included also is a function showpalette, which was posted here a while back. I don't remember who wrote it. I have copied all

Hi, I installed R 1.3.1 on HP-UX. This caused me quite some problems. These problems did not occur with the previous version I installed, which was R version 1.2.3. First, the result of configure: R is now configured for hppa-hp-hpux10.20 Source directory: . Installation directory: /opt_local/opt/R C compiler: cc -D_HPUX_SOURCE +DA1.1 +DS1.1

Could it be possible for packages to have manuals in multiple languages? I'm not saying all manuals should be in multiple languages, but I think there should be a mechanism for package writers to add manuals in multiple languages, if they think it useful. -- Peter Kleiweg

What has changed in R for Windows from version 1.7.1 to 2.2.0 that won't allow me to build binary packages? On 1.7.1 I built a packge with this command: Rcmd build --force --binary iL04 On 2.2.0 this fails. First I had to copy sh.exe from d:\bin to c:\bin. This got me over the first hurdle. But then I got stuck at a later point. Here are the last lines of output: ---------- Making

I'm not sure this is a bug in R. Since a few weeks I have a new PC, SuSE 8.0 installed. When running demo(graphics) I get after a few graphs: Error in title(main = "January Pie Sales", cex.main = 1.8, font.main = 1) : X11 font at size 22 could not be loaded And the demo stops. This is in R 1.6.0. I get the same in R 1.5.1 on HP-UX, but using my PC as the X-server.
