similar to: Thanks and Summary (was par(new=T) with xyplot)

I know I should not mix base plotting functions with grid/lattice functions, but I have used a "quick-and-dirty" trick of par(new=T) in the past for annotating a trellis-drawn graph in various versions of S-PLUS. The sequence goes something like this: > windows(width = 5, height = 5, pointsize = 10) # open up the device > xyplot(y ~ x) > par(new=T) > xyplot(y2 ~ x) >

Thanks Andy out<- xyplot(....) print(out) did the trick nicely.

Under v1.6.2, Windows NT4 OS, when a function contains an execution error and I have placed browser() in inside the function body, the call to browser is ignored. A brief example to illustrate: > foo <- function(x) { + y <- x ^ 2 + browser() + foo2(x) ## Intentional error + x ^ 3 + } > > foo(30) Called from: foo(30) Browse[1]> Error in foo(30) : couldn't find

Dear all: First, apologies for cross-posting multiplicities and for a query that is more analytically related than S-language related. The bottom-line wish is: Could you please provide and advice, references, etc on S software approaches for fitting a distribution with density: p*g(x) + (1-p)*f(x) where g(x) is the familiar lognormal 2-parameter density and f(x) is Pareto as defined below?

Thank you.

Dear R-help, I deleted `methods' from the list of packages in Makeconf.in and was able to get through the compilation. However, `make check' fails, and R seems to have trouble loading share libs. When starting R, it complained about not finding the X libs and quits. If I specify --gui=none, then it starts but complains about not being able to load the shared lib for `ctest'.

Hi Graham, In that case I''ll have to redefine File.delete and Dir.rmdir in the win32-file package and win32-dir packages, respectively. Please add a feature request on the project page so I don''t forget. I should have it done this weekend. Dan Foster, Graham wrote: > I want to create a long UNC based path..

Dear colleagues: I use R 1.9.0 on Windows XP. One of my common tasks is to get R graphs into Word documents. A open windows() device, almost always trellis.device() for me, provides great convenience with the right-click shortcut menu item "Copy as metafile". I typically have the History > Recording feature turned on as well. Since upgrading to 1.9.0, I have experienced an

Dear R-devel, Last week I got several responses to my question about debugging segfaults in my code (original post below). After I changed the S_alloc() calls to Calloc()/Free(), the symptom was gone, but I was told to keep looking. So I did: o Switched to Calloc/Free. Electric Fence did not find any problem. o Put assert(index < bound); assert(index >=0); everywhere in the C routine

Deepayan, Paul: Thanks very much for the very useful leads. I just spent some time this afternoon implementing your suggestions and my early test results are very encouraging. Paul, I understand the potential device re-sizing issue with the convert family of functions in grid, and will be in touch in case it becomes problematic for my applications. I very much look forward to your upcoming

Andy; Well, that about does it.... I'm copying this one back to the list for the benefit of those who may hit this thread while searching the archives. Your changes to the code run just fine on the my Windows machine, but gives the vector length error on the G4 whether I'm using the OS X build of R (as in Raqua) or the X11 build (for Darwin). It is worth noting that I have nearly twice

Dear R-help, I've having some trouble building R on AIX. I'm using gcc/g77/g++. The error occurs when building the methods package: gmake[4]: Entering directory `/.../merck.com/fs/user/liawand/R-1.5.0/src/library /methods' dumping R code in package 'methods' Fatal error: The X11 shared library could not be loaded.

Hi all, Thanks to Prof. Ripley, Prof. Gentleman, and Simon Wood (did I miss anyone?). The problem seemed to have gone away. Everyone suggested using some malloc debugger (such as Electric Fence). All I did was following half of what BDR suggested below, i.e., changing all the S_alloc() calls to Calloc() and Free(). I didn't get to try efence, and the problem seems to have disappeared! As

R 1.8.1 with Windows XP.

Dear R-devel, I'm encountering a strange problem in a Rd file that I'm working on. In the "Value" section, I have something like: ===================== \value{ An object of class \code{randomForest}, which is a list with the following components: \item{call}{the original call to \code{randomForest}} ... For classification problem, the following are also included:

With the same system configuration (WinNT4 SP6 and 1.7.0), I get such a Dr Watson crash each time I try to use the Change dir... command in the File menu of Rgui.exe. I doesn't seems to happen if I do this immediately after starting R but well if I already did some computation. I don't have any problem by using directly setwd().
