I am experiencing a reproducible crash from the following statement: plot(density(rnorm(1000))) on R 1.5.1 on Windows 2000. This is a dual-processor machine with 512Mb of RAM. Please advise if further details of hardware/OS are needed. If rgui.exe is in use, the crash occurs before the plot can be displayed. If rterm.exe is in use, the plot appears, then the error (and crash). A screen

I remember reading somewhere that locations on plots (in my case, arguments x and y for legend()) can be specified in several scales besides the usual data scale. I would like to set x and y as proportions of total plot size or something similar. Can anyone steer me to documentation on how to do it? -- Michael Prager, Ph.D. <Mike.Prager at noaa.gov> NOAA Center for

This is (correctly) filed under "non-reproducible." The corresponding notes say "solved by re-installing Windows (private comm)." I would like to clarify that this was solved by re-installing the patch known as "Windows 2000 Service Pack 2," not by reinstalling Windows itself. Perhaps my original message was not clear. I point this out because installing the

We announce the availability of the Fortran 95 module "For2R", which makes it easy to write complicated R data structures (i.e., lists of lists, matrices, dataframes, ...) from Fortran programs. By a series of subroutine calls, program outputs can be written to a file readable by R with a single "dget" function call. This facilitates automated graphics generation and other

I probably shouldn't suggest this, because I can't volunteer to implement it. However, I bring it up in the hopes that if (1) others agree and (2) the R core group think it a good idea that a suitable volunteer will come forward. I am finding that the flood of R email messages is becoming difficult to deal with, even using filters, etc., in my email client. Would we be better

To follow up on my previous question, suppose a user R session wants to unload one workspace and load another within an R session. Is the following the correct sequence? 1. save.image() to save the current workspace as .Rdata in the current working directory. 2. rm(list=ls()) to remove everything from the workspace. 3. setcwd("xxx") to set the new working directory. 4.

I am using R 1.9.1 under Windows XP Professional. Is there any R function that returns the filesystem path from which the global environment (workspace) was loaded (and to which it will, by default, be saved)? This seems identical with the current directory, so in any given session it is not too difficult to find out by other means. But for several reasons I would like to find this out from

Hi I did a google search on this and came up with nothing. OK, in the latest release of R for windows, I want to change the gui to SDI mode. Edit -> GUI preferences Choose SDI Apply I get the message about properties not being able to be changed on a running console, and that I need to save. So I click Save, and am met with a "Save As" dialogue box with the default file called

I can reproduce this in MDI. Another clue is that as the pager for ?merge is opened, the font in the console changes. The console is still working: commands you type in it are accepted. So the issue appears to be that the font in use has been changed incorrectly (and it seems that the C code thinks it has been changed in the preferences dialog).

R 1.8.0 on Windows XP Professional. A huge THANK YOU to the R Team for this marvelous software. I am making lattice plots of oceanographic data. The usual layout does not conform to plotting conventions that marine scientists use when depth is the independent variable. Under those conventions, plots are made with the origin at the upper left, depth on the vertical axis (increasing as it

JGR users on Windows may be interested that Sun has released a preview of its latest Java development kit and runtime engine at http://www.java.net/download/jdk6/binaries/ This removes the main problem I have had with JGR and other Java programs on Windows: poor font rendering. On Windows XP with an LCD display, the improvement is striking, as this uses Windows native font smoothing

How can a random result be reproducible? You could have told us the seed in use! I've tried this ten times without a crash, on two separate machines, one XP and one 2000.

I hope others may find this useful. I use R in many different directories. By adding the following line to the .Rprofile file: utils:::setWindowTitle(paste("-",getwd())) the titlebar of each R instance shows the directory from which it was started. I have tested this with rterm.exe and rgui.exe under Windows and with RECENT versions of R only. ----- For changing directories

Dear r-devel list members, I find that adding --sdi to the Target field in the short-cut for R is ineffective in R 2.3.0 beta for Windows (version/platform details below). Setting MDI = no in the Rconsole file works, however. It's probably a bit late to request this for version 2.3.0, but it would be nice to be able to select either the SDI or MDI in the R Windows installer. Regards, John

My thanks to Drs. Armstrong, Bates, Harrell, Liaw, Lumley, Prager, Schwartz, and Mr. Wang for their replies. I have pasted my original message and their replies below. After viewing http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/ as suggested by Dr. Schwartz, it occurred to me that it might be educational to search for some data repositories on google. I was able to find some,though I'm sure many of

I'm facing this problem on R GUI version 2.10.0 on Windows Vista. I have not changed Windows settings or R GUI settings much except to change from MDI to SDI. Someone else reported this problem a few months ago: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-April/195714.html but it wasn't followed up. I'd change the settings on Preferences, but there's no help explaining the

We announce the availability of three related software libraries: C2R, ADMB2R, and For2R (together, X2R). Each contains output routines to simplify transfer of complicated data structures from models written in a compiled language to R. The user's data can be written as a structured ASCII file which, when read by R (note 1) with a single dget() function call, will become an R data object
