similar to: foreign characters in R plots

I have a question which is not necessarily related to R. I want to use a distorted political map of the world with certain countries increased in size according to a certain variable (an idea similar to the homunculi usually found in psychology textbooks) to demonstrate the coverage of particular countries in a news service. Does anyone have any idea of how to approach this? I don't think

I actually did think they were decimal :). Everything works fine now, thanks a million for your help. And sorry for taking your time with something that was actually a result of my carelessness...

Hi all, I have a bit of a newbie question here that I hope y'all can help with. I've run a cluster analysis using hclust on about 500 objects (using R1.3 under Win 2000). The problem is that the tips of the dendrogram are so close together on the plot that the labels overlap and are unreadable. I've used "cex" to reduce the label sizes but this isn't sufficient with so

Hello to all I've got a question concerning use of fonts while making plots in R. I wanted to know if it is possible for me to use polish letters in functions like text() title() etc. Looked up characters, which can be obtained via Hershey(), but there are none of them. I made plots using postscript(), pdf() or png() device to export them to MSWord or LaTeX. Windows ANSI CE #dec codes of

This is 1.3.1 on OpenBSD/amd64. The --no-utf8-convert option of metaflac(1) does not work for me: $ metaflac --no-utf8-convert --set-tag="Artist=?ou?l??ek" aladin.flac aladin.flac: ERROR: tag value for 'Artist' is not valid UTF-8 (You probably can't see the Czech letters properly in my mail, but that's beside the point.) Indeed, it is not valid UTF8 (it's LATIN2),

Hello dear useRs and wizaRds, I am currently developing a package that will enable to use administrative map of Poland in R plots. Among other things I wanted to include region names in proper Polish language so that they can be used in creating graphics etc. I am working on Windows and when I build the package it is complaining about non-ASCII characters R code files. I was wondering what would

Dear R-users, I have problems with printing Central European (CE) characters (e.g. {\H o} and {\H u}) in graphics made by R. After executing the following code I can see the CE characters with gv on my screen, but I cannot print them on a postscript printer. > postscript(file="proba.ps",enc="ISOLatin2.enc") > plot(0:15,0:15,type="n") > grid(15,15,lty=1)

An earlier thread (in 10/2006) discussed encoding issues in the context of R data and the desire to represent accented characters. It matters in another setting: the output generated by R and the seemingly order character "'" (single quote). In particular, R CMD check runs test code and compares the generated output to a saved file of expected output. This does not work reliably

Hallo, I would like to ask you, for one question. When I export graph to .pdf and I need some czech font, I use a parameter encoding="ISOLatin2.enc" for these special fonts. But exported text is bad. I try ISOLatin1 and MacRoman, but it is some one. I don't know, what Iam doing bad, because in quartz is the graph ok. Sorry....I forget....I have a Mac with Leopard and R ver. 2.6.1.

Not sure if this is off topic, but there doesn''t seem to be an obvious place to ask this question. I am trying to use MacPorts to install mysql. I have xcode 3.0 and x11 XQuartz 2.1.6 installed. $PATH: /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/ local/bin:/usr/X11/bi When I sudo port install mysql5-server I receive: ---> Configuring mysql5 Error: Target

Dear all Can anyone point to a list of valid pdf.options() encodings? I checked ?pdf and ?postscript, but they do not quite answer my questions. I would like to try UTF-8 instead of the default "ISOLatin1.enc" for Sweave plots (I have issues with Greek characters in labels). Thank you Liviu -- Do you know how to read? http://www.alienetworks.com/srtest.cfm Do you know how to write?

Hello, I have a few questions. I have network like this: (A)---------(MS)--------(SS)-------(B) | | inet (C) Ms and SS are linux servers with samba. others are workstations with WinMe. Can I make all subnets and all computers to see all computers on all subnets without using WINS? So A should see SS, B and C. Because between MS and SS is very long network

Hello Jan, I assume the problem is that metaflac has no way of knowing the encoding that was provided on the command line, since it could literally be anything. The --no-utf8-convert option means that metaflac does nothing to the letters as they pass through, and then the problem becomes that the next program to read the tags has to assume the character set without any information. If the program

Dear List In my short life as a beginning R-user i've encountered a following problem that i'm unable to solve myself: I have a database in MySQL containing table and field names as well as some data containing Polish accentuated characters (like ????), utf8-encoded. It works just fine with just any external query browser i can find, jdbc, odbc, native, whatever. Also mysql is happy

Hello, My problem is, that I have to build hundreds of GARCH models to obtain volatility forecasts. I would like to run a loop, that would build those forecasts for me. There is no problem, with writing only the results of the forecasts, but I'd like to have stored results of the models in some file, that I could check later, what are the models like, to be able to compare if I should use

Dear R wizards: I believe some more font encoding info. some of the font encodings work, others do not: IsoLatin1, MacRoman, WinAnsi, and PDFDoc seem fine. AdobeStd, AdobeSym, ISOLatin2, ISOLatin9, and TeXtext seem broken, in that the resulting output file is silently corrupt. The font encoding error does not appear in the postscript device driver, and it works fine. It would be nice if

The example in the help file for pdf() plots the characters outside the plotting area in this for loop: for(i in c(32:255)) { x <- i y <- i points(x, y, pch=i) } The following loop seems to be working as intended for(i in c(32:255)) { x <- (i-31)%%16 y <- (i-31)%/%16 points(x, y, pch=i) } As an extra

Hello, It seems like something has recently caused ? symbols to be displayed as \243 on our FreeBSD 6 server. We think this is causing our rails-based payment system to fail to process transactions which is obviously very bad for us! Why / How would this start happening? The server is configured to use UK ISO keyboard map and it was working fine until recently. I''m at a loss to

I upgraded R on windows xp from 2.12.2 to 2.13.1 and now I can not process Rnw files with windows cp1250 encoding. Sweave complains: file.Rnw declares an encoding that Sweave does not know about What can I do beside downgrade R? When will Sweave support more encodings? Has anybody found a solution? Regards, Tomaz
