similar to: Custom graphing : Which package (Base, Grid or Lattice package)

Hi All, Over the years, I have written a number of custom time series graphing modules (in ANSI C). I want to make these graphs available in R. After considerable thought (as well as feedback fom this NG), I have decided to re-write (atleast some of the routines in R). Basically, this is what my R function needs to do: 1. create a parent (container) frame 2. Define n (vertically stacked)

I'm trying to do animation with grid. Basically it's a vector field, like what 'quiver' in Matlab creates. I need to update it with grid.edit(). It seems grid erases the whole thing first, then redraws. Therefore the evident 'flash' between frames. Any way to avoid this flash? Thanks.

Hi everybody, I'm making an application using the package tcltk. Everything goes fine until I load the package RGtk. The interface doesn't work anymore. Is there any conflict between these packages? I thought about unloading the package RGtk but I don't know how to do that. Thanks, -- Talita Perciano Costa Leite Graduanda em Ci??ncia da Computa????o Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Hello all, I've put together a quick and dirty menubar + dialogs + spreadsheet GUI for R using the RGtk package. Performance is not great (OOP is a real memory hog?), the design may be worse, but the hope is that it will be useful in an introductory stats course while we await the arrival of a real gui with ObveRsive and SciViews. The package can be found at

I have compiled R 1.7.1 with gnome and installed the gtkDevice on a Linux RH 8 system. This is my first use of this device and I have two questions about it. 1. After running R --rui="gnome", the console comes up. To open a graphics window, I open the gtkDevice library [library(gtkDevice)], then start a gtk device [gtk()]. After the library command, I receive the message from R

Dear All, I am running Debian testing on my system for the amd64 architecture, When trying to install the RGtk package I get this error > install.packages('RGtk2') Installing package(s) into ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library?

HI R users, I would appreciate information/examples/suggestions on building GUIs for R applications. I am currently working on a project that would require the following functionalities : 1) Display a window to the user. Provide a function to scan local drive and choose dataset file. 2) Display the column names for the user to choose the dependent variable and the independent variables. 3) Fit

Dear all, In many cases, I need a plotting region much bigger than the screen (e.g. for maps or for graphs with many labels). A. MS-Windows if I try windows(width=25, height=25, rescale="fixed") it seems to be OK (a screen with scrollbars, exactly what I need) but if I try then plot(faithful$eruptions, faithful$waiting) I receive Error in plot.new() : Outer margins too large

Is there a command that marks the screen as "dirty" and hopefully redraws it? If I do a control ALT F1 and the F7 this in effect redraws the screen. I am getting video artifacts that I think is in the nvidia driver. the switching console works - I was just hoping there is a more convenient way. some command or something. Thanks, Jerry

Hi people, I'm developing an application (in Linux) using tcltk and calling ggobi from that application (using the Rggobi package). After I load ggobi and want to use the windows made by tcltk I get some errors and sometimes R cracks. I believe the problem is because the packages Rggobi, RGtk and tcltk are running together. I thought about a solution that would be unload the Rggobi and RGtk

I have data that comes in every 7 seconds or so and I'd like to display it in a spreadsheet, and possibly take user input from the spreadsheet. I have installed RGnumeric and written an appropriate R function that reads, manipulates and displays the data by writing via RGnumeric to a spreadsheet. However, the results of this are not displayed until the R function returns, so refreshing by

Hello! Don't quite understand how can I delete grobs and simultaneously erase graphic output they produce. I first change grob's "vp" field to null (grid.edit(gr,vp=NULL)) to erase it and then call rm(gr) (as grobs are external pointers I'm not shure what this method actually frees allocated memory). May be there is simpler method? Does garbage collector have any effect

Hello, This message is little off-topic in R-help. Sorry for that, but not all interested people are wired yet to r-sig-gui (http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-gui). Thanks for your comprehension. A preview version of SciViews (a Graphical User Interface for R under Windows, http://www.sciviews.org) was released a few weeks ago. Since then, the Web site recorded several

Hi! I have bazillions of incoming (rejected) attempts to connect to my SMTP server, and I'm interested in separating out those that seem to come in huge bunches (e.g., the one from yesterday that ran for about 10 hours and sent over 4100 attempts), and graphing them so I can see the spacing and/or distribution in time. I can figure out some simple scripting to turn the maillog entries into

Dear all, Is the restricted cubic spline function working properly in the glm model? We used glm(y~rcs(x,5), family=binomial) but it seems that for some theoretical reasons the rcs, restricted cubic spline function can not be fitted by a glm function. Is this correct? Regards, Jan ((Originally, we used lrm(y~ rcs(x,5)) but we couldn't find how to derive the AIC value of the fitted model.

Hi! I just tried to run VirtualDub 1.5.10 with current wine from CVS. The program runs, but when the video playback is started (or even the video file is just loaded), all the screen except the window with the first video frame goes black. The video is played properly. All is alive and well, underlying windows/icons are there and they react on the mouse, windows can be moved (if You find their

Now I just need some helpful hints from the community as to what I could use to display a hexagonal playing field of about 40x40 hex units. Trying to build an online strategy game with Ruby on Rails. Working out the methodology on paper and then scaffolding some. Any ideas which technologies I could possibly use ? other than just simple .gifs as icons and maybe overlayed css graphics ? Would

I have finally received and am configuring my new workstations eith the NVS510 graphics cards, and have run into rather a problem. The X server seems to be loading the NOUVEAU driver properly (based on the contents of Xorg.0.log), but I have one X11 application that doesn't work correctly; it runs as though XSynchronized is always True, even though it's explicitly set to False in the
