similar to: diagonal line through plot when using pictex()

Greetings- I'm aware that there's no documentation for pictex available easily (that is, without purchasing it). I'm wondering if someone can help me with a simple task. When generating a plot using pictex() from R, one of the commands I use is mtext("Dimension 2: L=xxxx", side=2, line=3) when using X11(), this appears vertically along the Y axis; when using pictex(), it

Can anyone explain this behavior? Essentially, I've created a short file to be read in via source() that gets some descriptive information on a series of variables in a data frame. For each variable, I do three things: print('last.hc.actors') quantile(last.hc.actors,probs=seq(0,1,0.1),na.rm=T) stem(last.hc.actors) where the variable name is (in this case) last.hc.actors. All that

Andy, Take a look at Greenacre, Theory and Applications of Correspondence Analysis. He has many example of dealing with all sorts of data. Basically, the technique is relevant for 2-way tables -- MCA is an extenstion. It is not clear in your example whether CA is really appropriate -- you want to make an observation (if at all possible) fall in one cell, treating the others layers as

Greetings, again. This is not strictly an R question, so please feel free to ignore it if you like. My question is about the substance of correspondence analysis. Specifically, is it appropriate to use ca on a matrix of values such that the columns and/or rows are not mutually exclusive? To be more detailed: - The standard use of ca is illustrated in the example of corresp() (from MASS):

Greetings - In trying to do a multiple correspondence analysis, I need to coerce a data frame such that each of its columns will be a factor. Can someone offer advice on how to make this happen? I've tried this: > logic.resources.f.df<-apply(logics.resources.df, 2, factor) but: > is.factor(logic.resources.f.df$interests) [1] FALSE I've also tried individually, >

Greetings. I'm using plot.mca (from MASS) to construct some correspondence analyses of data drawn from focus-group transcripts. My question is simple albeit rather open-ended: I'm wondering what options there might be to plot.mca for tailoring the plots to my needs. The documentation to the function is somewhat sparse. Thanks- Andy Perrin

Dear R-users It is me again with my interminables questions... This time it is about "pictex". I understood that pictex allows us to put our graph in a latex file I have try the function: > pictex (file=...) and the answer was: "pictex" not found... Does it mean that it is not an R-function yet? Thank you for any feedback. Halima from Leiden

Dear R People, I want to include a barplot corresponding to a simple discrete probability distribution in a LaTeX document. I decided to use the pictex driver. After a certain amount of messing about, I came up the stuff below. It does not look too bad, however, there is one very obvious piece of weirdness, ie. the y axis terminates at 0.1 and does not extend down further. I tried to adjust this

Is the pictex graphics device known not to support color? In R 2.0.1 Patched (2004-11-17), it produced very pretty output: ## pictex(file = "modern-metatheonomy.tex", bg = "transparent"); ## plotData(data); ## dev.off() ... but it appears to have ignored all color information. __________ Steve Rowley <steve.rowley at sanofi-aventis.com> Cambridge, MA: (617) 768-4054

Hi, I am very new to R and trying to bring my plot of residuals to my LaTex document, and seems as I need some help. I first tried the example from the help file, e.g. pictex(file="model1.tex", width=5, height=4) plot(1:11,(-5:5)^2, type='b', main="Simple Example Plot") dev.off() this worked fine in LaTex when I did : \centerline{\input{Rplots.tex}} However, with

The example at ?pictex does not work (the driver apparently uses 'rotatebox') for me as stated. It did compile after including the graphicsx package. A MWE is at the help page for pictex. I tried to get in touch with Valerio but his email bounced. Probably we want to add a \usepackage{graphicsx} to the help page and try to track down Valerio. Cheers, Kyle This is pdfTeX, Version

[I'm refiling this one due to mailer config messup] I get an error whenever I try to plot a histogram in pictex. The error doesn't occur for X11 or postscript. > x<-c(1,2,3) > pictex() > hist(x) Error: Bad units specified in GConvert, please report! platform i686-unknown-linux arch i686 os linux

I can't get LaTeX to recognize the output from the pictex device driver. Are these commands for some special latex package which I don't know about? ************************************************ * I.White * * ICAPB, University of Edinburgh * * Ashworth Laboratories, West Mains Road * * Edinburgh EH9 3JT

Dear All, I'm trying to draw a TeX histogram with the following pair of commands, pictex(file = "realhisto.tex") hist(Peaklist$V3,xlab="Height $z/\\ut{mm}$",ylab="Probability density $\\phi{}(z-z_0)/(1/\\ut{mm})$") However, in the resulting file realhisto.tex, I get, for example \put {Height \$z/\ut\{mm\}\$} [lB] <0.00pt,0.00pt> at 136.13 9.17 when

I've attached a perl script that I wrote to build smbpasswd from /etc/passwd. Please note that this writes a samba-2.0 format smbpasswd file. This script will: # - create accounts that exist in /etc/passwd and not in smbpasswd # - remove accounts that exist in smbpasswd and not in /etc/passwd # - preserve existing password, flags and LCT fields in smbpasswd # - sets new account passwords to

Hi everyone, I have just received a bug from one of my students. It concerns the pictex command to produce plots in latex format. It seems to add lines on the graph even in the most simplest cases. For example, try the following quadratic curve: plot(1:11,(-5:5)^2,type="b",main="Simple Example Plot") Now, saving the plot with the following command:

I'm trying to use the pictex driver for bargraphs, and the shading isn't showing up. Is there any way to get some sort of shading in the plots? A hatch or stipple would be fine, too; just some way to differentiate the bars. The postscript driver won't do, since I'm trying to embed this in a LaTeX document which I'll use pdflatex on and \includegraphics for pdftex doesn't

Greetings- We use smbclient -M to send a Message of the Day to clients every once in a while. The clients are NT4 (SP3), and the server is Samba 1.9.19-prealpha. However, the same problem appears with version 2.0.0. The issue is: once the file to be sent exceeds approximately 675 bytes (smbclient reports sending 975 bytes, presumably including some overhead), the message turns up blank on the

Got an error trying to run the PicTeX graphics driver in Version 0.50 Beta (Sept 29, 1997) of R under Windows 95.
