I have written an R function that writes output to an external file using the sink function. I assume that `sink' is not operating system dependent. At the end of the function I have additional code that opens the newly created file using notepad on a Windows system. Obviously, this part of the code will not work on a Mac or Linux box. Since I do not have a machine with Linux or the Mac OS

Dear R community, I am running R 2.0.1 on a Windoze XP OS. I recently upgraded from R 1.9x to 2.0.1 and I am currently upgrading a my personal function packages. My other packages compiled without a hitch but I am having a difficult time with my largest package. Can someone please help me with the following error message "Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line

Is it possible to create a cloud plot (in library lattice) that is not enclosed by a border? I want the 3d plot to include the cube - I just do not want the border on the page (because I would like to place four clouds on a page). Setting the argument: border=FALSE clearly is not the answer (it doesn't appear to do anything on my system). I am using R 1.5.1 on a windows NT machine.

I've rolled up R-0.99.0.tgz a moment ago. You can get it from ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-0.99.0.tgz or http://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-0.99.0.tgz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you within a day or two. There's also a version split in three (!) for floppies if you prefer that. The next release is to be 1.0.0 at the end of this month,

I just installed the R-patched 1.4.0 and for some reason I now have trouble compiling R packages - I could compile it a few weeks ago with R 1.4.0 released in December. This only happens if I put the --binary option in. For example: Rcmd build --binary cw returns the error: make: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/R/RW1040/src/gnuwin32' make DLLNM= \ -C C:/MyRWork/cw PKG=cw

I'm using R 1.4.1 under Windows 2000 and am experiencing difficulty installing a package. I've included an example output using Rcmd build, but the same problem occurs with Rcmd check and Rcmd INSTALL. The error (make[1]: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found) is not a new one - it's referenced in readme.packages among other locations. I've placed a copy of sh.exe in C:\bin, but it

R users, I recently upgraded (?) to Windows XP from 2000. I am trying to build an R package. I have done this many times on my old system and I am not sure why it is not working in XP. To build the package I call a bat file that specifies all the necessary paths -- but the "build" file (which appears to be a perl script) is looking for a "src" subdirectory in the src

R colleagues, I am stumped. I would like the inter-tick distances to be the same on the x and y axes but cannot determine how to do so when the lower half of the y axis is not printed. Thanks for any and all suggestions. (btw, setting par(pty="s") does not solve my problem) Niels Waller M<-matrix(c(2,1, -1,3),2,2,byrow=TRUE)

Dear R-help, I was able to build R-1.5.0 on WinNT w/o problem (actually it seems easier than previous version). However, I encountered problem when trying to compile the recommended package foreign: make: Entering directory `/cygdrive/g/rbuild/R-1.5.0/src/gnuwin32' make DLLNM= FLIBS="-lg2c -lRblas" BUILD=MINGW \ -C G:/Rbuild/R-1.5.0-recommended/R.INSTALL/foreign PKG=foreign

Is R behaving correctly in this example? I do not understand why column 2 has any 2s in it (and why column 3 has any 1s) > x<-matrix(0,10,3) > x[seq(1,10,by=2),2:3]<-c(1,2) > x [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 0 1 2 [2,] 0 0 0 [3,] 0 2 1 [4,] 0 0 0 [5,] 0 1 2 [6,] 0 0 0 [7,] 0 2 1 [8,] 0 0 0 [9,] 0 1

I am trying to write my first R package. The file 'Creating R packages' instructs me to create a 'man' subdirectory for the help files (with an Rd extension). However when I look at other libraries I do not find a man subdirectory (I find html dirs). Also I am told to include a keyword from the KEYWORDS.db. However this file is not on my system? Any suggestions? I am working

Dear Friends, Yesterday I posed a question to the list concerning the possibility of doing animation examples in R. Here is an example S-Plus (4.5 for Windows ) that I wrote to illustrate my problem. If I try this in R (comment out the graphsheet and guilocator calls) I don't see my results until after the function has iterated through the 100 trials. I would like to plot each iteration.

R community, I am having trouble adding Greek symbols to a plot. I want to mix Roman text and Greek -- but they keep fighting! Pseudo code for what I want: [Greek] gamma [subscript]1 = [Roman] Threshold 1 I have conducted a search on the CRAN FAQ list, but no luck. Any and all hints would be GREATLY appreciated.

Dear friends, I am trying to port a collection of S-PLUS teaching functions over to R. Several of my functions use animation. Animation in S-PLUS is not ideal, but can be accomplished with a call to guiLocator (this forces the program to print to the graphsheet rather than wait until the function has completed all calculations). Does anyone know if there is a trick that will enable me to

The following function delivers all permutations of 1:n. all.perm <- function(n) { p <- matrix(1, ncol = 1) for (i in 2:n) { p <- pp <- cbind(p, i) v <- c(1:i, 1:(i - 1)) for (j in 2:i) { v <- v[-1]
