I am attempting to plot frequency of occurrence against (calendar) time. As the output is to be produced as a Powerpoint picture on a dark background I wish to make the plot output yellow > par(col="yellow", col.axis="yellow", col.lab="yellow", col.main="yellow") > plot(t2, t1, ylim=c(0,40), main="Episynlestes run 2",

Not an R question directly, but has anyone got a method for placing a moderately large number of (near) equi-spaced points on a sphere? I have a nasty feeling platonic solids are needed for exact solutions and I'm thinking of samplings involving around 200 - 1000 regularly-spaced points, Thanks, Richard Rowe Richard Rowe Senior Lecturer Department of Zoology and Tropical Ecology, James

I am attempting to analyse some behaviour sequence data. The input is an alphabetic string "ASDFGH ... ". I wish to start at one end of the string, peel off each character, and convert to an integer to develop transition matrices etc. My blundering through the ref manual hasn't produced any light. Can this be done easily in R or should I pre-process? I recollect an item

I am working with transition matrices of sequences of animal behaviours. What I would like to do is parse the original matrices, adjusting row/column order so that the matrix has its main values in blocks surrounding the diagonal. This would cause behaviours involved in functional groupings (e.g. grooming, resting, foraging etc) to appear as blocks. This can be done manually by applying

I'm trying to use the biological female and male signs in R2.5.1 under Windows XP. I can access and insert these symbols using word-processors. In general these should be available as \u2640 and \u2642 but I can't make them happen in R using (say) text(5,5, "\u2640") message "invalid \uxxxx sequence" I've replaced Arial with Arial unicode MS in Rdevga and

I am having problems with the 'if' syntax. I have an n x 4 matrix, X say. The first two columns hold x, y values and I am attempting to fill the second two columns with the quadrant in which the datapoint (x, y) is and with the heading angle. So I have two problems 1) how to do this elegantly (at which I've failed as I can't seem to vectorize the problem) and 2) how to

I'm starting a time study on an area. To determine if an individual has entered the area, we are having timed photographs taken of the area. What I want to do is import the image files (either one at a time or simultaneously), convert it to a density image, take the density at multiple points in the image and determine if they are over an area average (indicating someone or something is in

Based on a report to the Windows maintainers from Richard Rowe <Richard.Rowe@jcu.edu.au>: NEWS for 1.3.0 says o Exact p-values are available for the two-sided two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. I think the (new) p-values are computed but are backwards: > set.seed(123) > x <- rnorm(50) > y <- runif(50) > ks.test(x,y, exact=T)$p [1] 1 > 1 - ks.test(x,y,

Hi, I used RODBC to import data from an Excel spreadsheet "*.xls", but some columns were returned as zeros. When I looked at these columns in Excel, I found that thery are results of formula calculations and not entry. My question is: Is there any parameter or command I need to use in order to overcome this problem? Thank you Ahmad Abu Hammour

Dear R-Developers and -Community, after compiling and installing R 1.2.2., I started 'demo(graphics)' for a test, and got: 'Error in rnorm(0): .Random.seed(0) is not a Normal type' Obviously .Random.seed was not initialized appropriately. Following the the documentation for '.Random.seed' [see below 'Examples'], this can be fixed rm(.Random.seed);

Hi, Thanks for showing me how to use RODBC and odbcConnect. Now works nicely. The question I've got now is: noms <- list.files(pattern=".DBF") # removing extension names: noms <- sapply(noms, function(x) as.character(strsplit(x,".DBF")) , USE.NAMES=F) for (i in 1:length(noms)) { s <- sqlFetch(bdades, noms[i]) # etc. } But it seems that sqlFetch()

Dear R users, Sorry if this has been discussed before. I was recently looking at the MySQL site and saw that they offer various levels of paid support. The support options range from basic email support (USD200) through to extensive telephone support from the development team (USD10000). These are annual prices. This is something I would be happy to see available with R (maybe it is?). My

This is a strange request, but I want to build a scatterplot using different image files (jpegs, gif, etc.) as the plot symbols. I have thought about setting this up using a very large layout matrix, but I thought someone might have a better approach. Furthermore, is there any way to have R paste an image file into a specific coordinate within a scatterplot? Thanks in advance, Mike Mike

Dear People, I have a data set of data x from a probability distribution, and I have a function, mydensity, of the pdf of that distribution. I'm asking for help in superimposing the histogram of x and the plot of mydensity. In the function below, I call truehist and curve, but these are plotted in different figures. I'd like them to be plotted on the same figure, and to use common

I would like to do some fairly basic stem-and-leaf displays in R. I am aware (I might even say painfully aware) of stem(base) and have tried it. That's why I'm hoping someone has a usable stem- and-leaf display for R so that I don't have to write my own. r-project.org > Search > R Site Search > "stem and leaf display" finds nothing. I also tried the mail archive

I've rolled up R-1.2.3.tgz a moment ago. This is mainly adds fixes to the Macintosh port, but it also has a number of bugfixes for all versions. You can get it from the developer site ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.2.3.tgz or http://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.2.3.tgz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you within a day or two.

This patch series changes a small part of the library to use __attribute__((cleanup(...))) to automatically free memory when pointers go out of the current scope. In general terms this seems to be a small win although you do have to use it carefully. For functions where you can completely get rid of the "exit code paths", it can simplify things. For a good example, see the
