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

Hi, I am sorry to bother you with such a (presumably) simple question, but I have spent a couple of hours browsing the net and R documentation and came up with no answer to it. My problem is that I need to use Latin2 (ISO8859-2) characters in my plots. Adding an encoding="..." parameter to the postscript function does not solve the problem, as the characters still don't show up.

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.

Hello, Based on replies (which I'm gratefull for) I guess the only solution is to create a package, that will contain function to build lm()-like linear models, and allow weighting cases (as I described two days ago). This would also alow buliding those models for data in aggregated form without a need for using e.g. expand$grid(). Thank you again for replies.

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 everyone, I encountered the following confusing behavior of 'deparse' and 'substitute' while programming with S4 classes (see example below). It seems like the presence of '...' argument in the definition of the generic generates the problem. I have no clue why, can anyone explain that to me? Are there any "workarounds"? Thanks a lot for your time!

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

Dear useRs and wizaRds, I am currently developing a set of functions using S4 classes. On the way I encountered the problem exemplified with the code below. For some reason the 'validity' method does not seem to work, i.e. does not check for errors in the specification of the slots of the defined class. Any hints? My understanding of the whole S4 system was that validity checks are made

Dear R-users of non-English speaking countires. Maybe a good news for those who want to use R in their local languages. Recently two Japanese, E. Nakama and M. Okada, succeeded in "making R speak Japanese". At present, R can handle Japanese (as well as other languages, I guess) character strings if one use consoles which can understand Japanese. Also P. Murrell kindly provided a

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?

Dear sir, I would ask if there are in R some code to generate a random sample from a mvariate student distribution like that one wich generate the multivariate normal one i mean( rmvnorm(n, mu, sigma) Second question : if R can plot density 3Dcurve I don't mean de histogram but de hole density function(normal for example). I use a windows version of The R software Thank you in advance wiyh

Hello dear useRs and wizaRds, I encountered the following problem using the hist() method for the 'times' classes from package 'chron'. You should be able to recreate it using the code: library(chron) # pasted from chron help file (?chron) dts <- dates(c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92", "02/28/92", "02/01/92")) class(dts)

Hi, I ran into the following peculiarity involving S4 method dispatch and namespaces. I develop a package which have a namespace and which depends on 'pixmap' package, which itself does not have a namespace. Now, in my package I have a class which has a slot for objects from class "pixmap" and I want to have a "plot" method for this new class. Not to clutter the

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

Hello to all. My name is Michal Bojanowski, I'm a Sociology student at Unversity of Warsaw. Recently I've started to learn R when I've found myself frustrated because of inflexibility of SPSS and other "user-friendly" statistical software. As I said, I'm new here, so my question is very simple: I wanted to use a large data set stored in SPSS-format file. I used the

Hi, I want to use R for some data mining project , and was wondering if it has any intercative graphical features? For example, is it possible to plot a histogram and be able to select a specific point on it and have all the data about it? or select a specific area in a curve and have all the data about it? or possibilities to zoom out and in? Thank you for your help, Mama Benchaffai School of

Hello to all. My question is very simple... Let's say we have a data frame with three variables (columns): X, W and F. X is a numeric variable (e.g. like income) F is a factor (e.g. with 2 levels) and W is a case weight (data are from household sample but an individual was interviewed, weights are functions of number of persons in the house hold). I wanted to compute a means of X weighted

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)
