Would it be hard to make the X11 device driver in R accept general X11 resources? In particular I would like to be able to set the title of the graphics window when I start it up. (Note this is not the same thing as the title of a plot but rather is the character string visible to the window manager, and usually goes in a titlebar on top.) For example in Splus one can do > motif('-xrm

I am considering getting the rpvm package for running a parallel virtual machine working on Splus. That package contains a considerable amount of C-level code written to interface R with the pvm3 library functions and of course all of it uses the R macros and conventions associated with the R-style ".Call". It looks as though it might be possible to automatically transform that code to

You get a warning message when you specify a ylab parameter while plotting data whose x's are POSIXct values. Apparently the `axis.POSIXct' method tries to reset the ylab---via the ... parameter---after it has already been set by higher level methods. Here is a function that illustrates the problem. ylabProblem <- function() { x <- ISOdate(2003, 4, 1:10) # POSIXct

I've read in many places that R semantics are based on Scheme semantics. As a long-time Lisp user and implementor, I've tried to make this more precise, and this is what I've found so far. I've excluded trivial things that aren't basic semantic issues: support for arbitrary-precision integers; subscripting; general style; etc. I would appreciate corrections or additions from

I am using R-1.7.0 and have some data which consist of one vector of numbers and a second corresponding vector of dates belonging to the POSIXct class. I would like to plot the numbers against the dates. What is the best way to do this? It almost works to just call `plot.' However if I do this while using the `ylab' parameter I get a warning message: parameter "ylab"

Hi Lisp users, I'm a user of both Common Lisp and R (GNU R). I found R has a rich collection of statistical and numerical computation functions, while it is not as extensible as Lisp (Common Lisp). I considered Lisp-Stat but its only implementation is not in the usuall Common Lisp, and the available functions in CRAN are far richer than Lisp-Stat currently has. I want to know if there is

I have written some programs in Common Lisp and I have been using SAS to pipe those programs to my lisp compiler in batch mode by using the %xlog and %xlst SAS commands. I wonder if there is in R a similar way to pipe commands to LISP so that all my work would be concentrated in R even when I have to call a LISP program? I have looked at the foreign library but this seems to adjust data types not

I wanted to roll out my own lisp, and maybe use some library code from existing lisps (think of loop or format). Adding an LLVM backend to an existing lisp implementation is a nice idea, but currently not planned. >

I mainly program in Common Lisp and use R for statistical analysis. While in R I miss the power and ease of use of Lisp, especially its many primitives such as find, member, cond, and (perhaps a bridge too far) loop. Has anyone created a package that includes R analogs to a subset of Lisp functions? Chris Elsaesser, PhD Principal Scientist, Machine Learning SPADAC Inc. 7921 Jones

Dear R-devel, There is a new feature in R-devel, which explicitly refers to LISP @ operator for splicing. > The backquote function bquote() has a new argument splice to enable splicing a computed list of values into an expression, like ,@ in LISP's backquote. Although the most upvoted SO question asking for exactly LISP's @ functionality in R doesn't seems to be addressed by this

R folks, I'm curious about possible support for Lisp-style macros in R. I'm aware of the "defmacro" support for S-Plus and R discussed here: http://www.biostat.wustl.edu/archives/html/s-news/2002-10/msg00064.html but that's really just a syntactic short-cut to the run-time use of substitute() and eval(), which you could manually put into a function yourself if you cared

In porting some Common LISP code to R, I am trying to found out whether special care must be taken for the let* function. In Common LISP, "the let* block is like let except it is guaranteed to evaluate the initialization of its local variables in sequentially nested scopes, i.e. it provides an order to the binding and visibility of preceding variables.". I have included the recursive

Hi! I've made great progress in my R programming, but I am again stuck on a beginner's problem. I would like to start R with a command line that loads a file, and if possible, executes a function. Can anyone give me an example of how to do this? For example, in lisp, I would say: $ lisp -load toto.lisp -eval '(do-something $PORT)' to load the file "toto.lisp", then

Has anyone successfully gotten the scoped_access[1] plugin to work in Rails 1.1? Some of the methods it was relying on are now no longer accessible. It seems the only way to add scope is to use the ''with_scope'' method that takes a block, but since Rails doesn''t have real around filters[2] I cannot see a way of adding a scope using a filter. Anyone using with_scope

I'm trying to figure this out with "Writing R Extensions" but there's not a lot of detail on this issue. I want to write a (very simple really) C external that will be able to take "..." as an argument. (It's for optimizing a function that may have several parameters besides the ones being optimized.) I got the "showArgs" code (from R-exts) to compile and

Thanks! I am trying to use it in R. (Actually, I try to give my students experiences with different kinds of files and I was wondering if there were tools available for such kinds of files. I don't know Lisp so I do not actually know what the lines towards the bottom of the file mean.( Many thanks for your response! Best wishes, Ranjan On Wed, 17 Jan 2018 20:59:48 -0800 David Winsemius

Hey folks, I'm wrestling with adding DWARF source code file/line information to my generated LLVM-IR from my Common Lisp compiler. I think I'm doing everything properly using the llvm::DIBuilder class - but when I load my Common Lisp application and load a compiled bundle into it I don't seem to be able to access the metadata properly. I can list source lines using "l -f

Hello, i want to implement a common lisp subset using llvm for fun. This requires the use of a garbage collector. I read the docs, but many things are still unclear to me. 1. how are collectors supposed to find all living objects? there is llvm.gcroot for marking objects on the stack,but how do collectors crawl heap objects? I did not see a way to provide custom mark functions. Are
