pdf page limit?
Is there a limit on the number of pages that can be in a pdf file? I am
using pdf() (on R version 1.4.1, running on Red Hat 7.1 on an Intel box)
to create a large (> 300 pages) file of diagnostic plots. If I plot
every figure I want to include (364 pages, according to Acroread ver.
5.0.5), neither xpdf on Linux nor Acroread ver 5.0.5 on Win98 can render
the file. xpdf give the error message:

using bitmap to make a multi-page pdf file results in duplication of (PR#908)
When I execute the following code:
bitmap("test.pdf",type="pdfwrite")
plot(1:10,1:10,main="ONE")
plot(1:10,1:10,main="TWO")
dev.off()
the resulting file test.pdf contains four pages: graph ONE, graph TWO,
graph ONE, graph TWO. I can recreate the problem with R version 1.2.1 and

error starting SJava: classpath?
Does SJava require that omegahat be installed? I have installed the
binary Windows package (SJavaWin_0.62-8.zip), made the change

resolution of windows metafiles
I am having trouble getting smooth-appearing curves in figures produced as
windows metafiles using R (R-1.1.1 on Windows 98). When I import them into
a word processor (either MS Word 97, or WordPerfect 9.0), the figures
appear only slightly bumpy on screen, but when printed, there is a clear
jaggedness reminiscent of aliasing. Is there a fix for this (if the answer
is "upgrade to 1.2",

formulas in variables in modeling functions
I first noticed this in gnls, but it also happens in lm, so I suspect the
following phenomenon is universal in modeling functions. Modify the
example from the lm help:
model <- as.formula(weight ~ group)
lm(model)
The result will be printed:

Call:
lm(formula = model)

problem in plot(), combining log="y" with type="s" (PR#1078)
I just noticed this behavior of plot(). If you combine: log="y", with type
="s", specify ylim, AND have plotting points outside of ylim, then the R
process hangs.
For example:
plot(1:10,seq(0.0001,1,length=10),ylim=c(0.01,1),type="s",log="y")
It will also hang if the original plot() command did not specify ylim, but

surprising behavior of match.arg() (PR#872)
If a function needs to be passed as an argument to another function,
default arguments to the function being passed are lost. Consider this
example:
fun1 <- function(x, A=c("power","constant")) {
arg <- match.arg(A)
cat(paste("A is:",paste(A,collapse=", "),"\narg is:",arg,"\n"))
cat("formals:\n")

par(xaxp)
I think this is a bug; at least this behavior is not documented in plot
or plot.default.
plot.default resets xaxp, and leaves xaxp reset when it exits:
par(xaxp=c(0,1,4))
print(par("xaxp"))
plot(c(0,1),c(0.2,0.3))
print(par("xaxp"))

R-1.4.0: how to use getSymbolInfo()?
I have a package that solves systems of ordinary differential equations
coded as an R function (odesolve, on CRAN). The function is passed to R
code, and c and Fortran code called by it uses lang4() and eval() to
evaluate the R function inside a compiled c function to use in a
compiled ODE solver. This works quite well, but can be slow.
I'd like to be able to supply the name of a compiled

qqline (PR#764)
I think qqline does not do exactly what it is advertised to do ("`qqline'
adds a line to a normal quantile-quantile plot which passes through the
first and third quartiles."). Consider the graph:
tmp <- qnorm(ppoints(10))
qqnorm(tmp)
qqline(tmp)
The line (which I expected go through all the points), has a slightly
shallower slope than does the points plotted by qqnorm. I think
