Hello everybody, if I'm using par(xpd=NA) gridlines will plotted outside the plotting region. This is "new" (and, in my opinion, unaesthetic) in version 1.4 - compared to version 1.3. Is this a bug or a feature? Example: ------------------ par(xpd=NA) plot(1:11) grid() ------------------ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc os solaris2.6

Dear R community, I tried to optimized my R code by using Rprof. In my R code I'm using MySQL database connections intensively. After a bunch of queries R fails with the following error message: Error in .Call("RS_MySQL_newConnection", drvId, con.params, groups, PACKAGE = .MySQLPkgName) : RS-DBI driver: (could not connect mylogin@mydatabase on dbname "myDB"

Hello everybody, I found that queries (send by "dbExecStatement" ) with more than 4000 characters length produces an error in ROracle (ver 0.3-3). Maybe there is a limitation of 4kB.... Is this a bug? If yes, is this problem solved in the latest version of ROracle (ver 0.5-0)? My system information: platform sparc-sun-solaris2.8 arch sparc os solaris2.8

Hello everybody, if I try to (r)bind a number of large dataframes I run out of memory because R wastes memory and seems to "forget" to release memory. For example I have 10 files. Each file contains a large dataframe "ds" (3500 cols by 800 rows) which needs ~20 MB RAM if it is loaded as the only object. Now I try to bind all data frames to a large one and need more than

Hello everybody, I have following string type and try to convert it to float: > a<-"20020104.123456" > str(as.numeric(a)) num 20020104 > str(as.real(a)) num 20020104 > str(as.double(a)) num 20020104 How can I get an float instead of an integer? How can I set the desired precision? Thanks in advance Lutz Thieme Lutz Thieme AMD Saxony Manfacturing GmbH Product

Hello everybody, Could anybody give me a hint how I can use "layout" and "filled.contour" (or "image" plot with a color legend) together, please? What I want to do is something like the following example (Two or more plots with a legend for each at one page): data(volcano) layout(matrix(1:2, 1, 2, byrow = TRUE)) for (i in 1:2) { filled.contour(i*volcano, color =

Hello everybody, is there a possibility to install and use multiple versions of a R library at the same time? A few words regarding the background of this question: If I change functions of an already developed package, I have to verify complex functions in a lot of R applications. So it would be useful to use different versions of a function/library and switch to the newer function/library

Hello everybody, could anybody give me a hint, who I can use rbind on a list of data.frames, please? I have a list with a large number of data.frames of the same structure, like: LIST <- list(X1=data.frame(a=1,b=2), X2=data.frame(a=3,b=4), X3=data.frame(a=5,b=6), ...., XN=data.frame(a=i,b=k)) I would like to bind all data.frames very fast to a single data.frame, something like that: DF <-

Hello everybody, is there a way to get the file name of the source file from which I read and execute my R code? In other words: If I'm executing "source('myRfile.r')" I'd like to have a statement inside myRfile.r like "src.file<-$0" (in unix csh style) which assigns th variable src.file to 'myRfile.r' . Thanks in advance! Best regards, Lutz

Hello everybody, could anybody give me a hint how to to use RMySQL and ROracle libraries at the same time without getting conflict with name spaces? Because it needs to much time, unloading and reloading the libraries is no solution... Example: ----------- snip ----------------- library(ROracle) library(RMySQL) mysql <- MySQL() con <- dbConnect(mysql, user=MySQL.name, password=MySQL.pwd,

After loading the RODBC package version 1.1-7, Ctrl-C changes its behaviour and is quitting R and returning to the (unix-)command prompt on the solaris2.8 platform here.

Hello everybody, often I plot boxplots with different number of boxes (up to 200 boxes). I'd like to give every box a readable label on the x-axis. Therefore, I decrease the fontsize of the names and plot them vertical. But if you zoom into the plot (pdf) you will find an offset between the tickmark and the label - the label is shifted to the right. If you vary the box.count in the

I checked my entire setup again and again. Now I can see the my share. The most relevant change I did (afaik - ofcourse): - since I am using ad backend I created dedicated unix admin groups (as recommended in the docs) - I removed the $ from the share section/defnition ([projects$] -> [projects]) - I changed browseable switch from 'no' to 'yes' Iam still getting the "event

Conversion of a data frame to a matrix using as.matrix() when a column of the data frame is POSIXt and all other columns are numeric has changed in R 1.9.0 from R 1.8.1. The new behavior issues a warning message and converts to a character matrix. In R 1.8.1, such an object was converted to a numeric matrix. Here is an example. #### R 1.9.0 #### > foo <- data.frame(

Hi! I am resending the following message about problems with utmp handling. * In the meantime I had some request in private mail from people asking whether I have new information. * The problem is still persistant in 2.9p2. * My own new investigations show, that the problem only appears with protocol 2, not with protocol 1, I therefore only started to note it when protocol 2 became the
