similar to: R help files -> S-Plus; par('mgp')

I have help files in several formats. Up until now I have converted nroff files to S-Plus 6 sgml and html files using Splus doc_to_S ... (creates .sgml file) Splus HINSTALL ... (creates .sgm and .html files) I maintain master help files in R .Rd files, and for some of my functions converting from .Rd to .sgm using R CMD Rdconv --type=Ssgm ... produces better .sgm files than beginning with

I just installed 99.0a, and I can't set mar and mgp: > par(mar(2,2,.1,.1)) Error in par(mar(2, 2, .1, .1)) : couldn't find function "mar" I had the same happen with mgp. Are these bugs or a problem in my installation (everything else seems OK)? Is R core going to kill mar and mgp? If so, how should I fix the huge margins and huge space between axis title and axis? Try this

Hi, Just tested the latest snapshot on RHL72 via building RPM's of it. Nroff detection was wrong, and if no --with-mantype was specified, the type would always revert to cat. This one-byter fixes it. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks. Security. -- Robert

I've created a .Rd file (below), then converted that to .sgml using R CMD Rdconv --type=Ssgm combn.Rd > combn.sgml The output (shown below) is missing some of the sections: arguments seealso examples If instead I convert to .d (below), the same sections are missing, and the "note" section is included but without the necessary newline.

Full_Name: Cornell Gonschior Version: 2.10.0 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (212.201.28.40) Hi, in the introduction to R, you can find the following sentence in the par() chapter: "Use tck=0.01 and mgp=c(1,-1.5,0) for internal tick marks." I thought that's nice, because I wanted to have tick marks and tick labels inside and the axis title outside. But: > plot(z, las=1,

It seems that when an argument 'mgp' is supplied to axis(), the mgp[2] value (position of tick mark labels) is honoured but the mgp[3] value (position of axis line) is ignored. Example: plot(1:5, xaxt='n', ann=FALSE) par(mgp=c(0,2,1)) axis(1, at=2:4, mgp=c(0,-2,-3)) Axis line is plotted at margin line 1, tick mark labels at line -3. Is this a bug? J. R. M. Hosking

I have long axis labels (8units) on the x axis and 2 unit number labels on the y axis. I need to move the x axis title without moving the y axis title. I have used mgp=c(title, label and line), but mgp moves both the x and y titles. The following puts the y axis title way way out to the left. Anyone know how to move just the x axis. X11() conif<-c("Control", "Switched

Suppose I have the bottom axis of a plot that looks like: ----+----+----+----+----+----+---- | | | | | | 1 2 3 4 5 6 Axis title 1. How do I reduce the gap between the ends of the ticks and the axis labels (numbers)? 2. How do I vary the gap between the bottom of the axis labels and the top of the axis title? I have looked in various places

dear R users, I am performing a linear regression with lm, and I would like to plot the regressor in dashed lines. I know that the lty=2 option is the way out, but it has a very strange behaviour: the line starts dashed but then the spaces between each dash becomes very tiny and so the line become somehow continuous for the human eye. Do you know how to fix that problem, in order to have a

Dear R-wizards! I want to move the axis label of the y-axis a little bit more apart from the border of the plot (otherwise, it would overlap with my horizontal numbering). 'par(mgp(3.5, 1, 0))' does it properly. Unfortunately, it also moves the x-axis label which does not look good. Is there a way to specify 'mgp' for each axis separately or is there another way to move just

Hi, On systems that have mandoc installed but are missing an nroff binary, the configure script will fall back to pre-formatted manual pages despite the fact that mandoc could be used. The proposed patch adds mandoc as a valid formatter to configure.ac. As mandoc supports the -mdoc flag, it can simply be added to the list of nroff-like binaries.

Hi, I am sorry about this stupid question but after compilation of openssh-2.3.0p1 the manpages were installed but a man ssh gives only unstructured response without underlined lines etc. A nroff -man sshd.8 gives the same output but the contents of the file shows a nroff-format. Any ideas? My system is a HP-UX 11.000 with the pam-patch. regards Stephan -- LDS Brandenburg Dr. Stephan Hendl

Hello, the man pages for openssh-2.3.0p1 look bad on our Tru64 Unix V4.0E systems. (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for executing commands on a remote machine. It is intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communica- tions between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be

I want to fit a fairly long main title for a plot, supposedly by changing row after a while. As for now it starts way outside the picture margin at the left and continues way out right passed the right margins. >plot(A,main="This is my really long title and it's so long that I can see just about half of it.") Any suggestions? Shouldn't be that hard. -- View this message in

I am using R 1.2.3 on Linux Mandrake 7.2.

Hi all, I consider myself a somewhat experienced user of R, but have struggled with this for a while now. to the point where I just end up pulling the entire graph together in powerpoint and fixing it up from there. How does one adjust the horizontal/vertical positions of axis titles? I've tried using mgp in the par function, but that never produces anything satisfactory as x and y-axes are
