Hi, A new release of RArcInfo is out, together with a draft of the tutorial. You can get both from http://matheron.estadi.uv.es/~virgil/Rpackages/RArcInfo Windows binaries are also available and package source can also be downloaded from CRAN. I 'd like to encourage users of the package to read the tutorial and report ideas. Besides, I would like to keep a web page on works where RArcInfo is

I am having trouble using get.arcdata() in RArcInfo. X and y coordinates are not what they should be. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? I am using RArcInfo 0.4-1. Here is the metadata of my coverage, using describe in Arc: Arc: describe stdir_6 Description of SINGLE precision coverage stdir_6 FEATURE CLASSES

I am having trouble using get.bnddata() in the RArcInfo package. I installed the version 0.2 binary of the package for Windows and am using R 1.4.1 on Windows NT 4.0. I have had no problems importing and plotting arc data with get.arcdata() and plotarc(). plotpal() also works fine. I've been able to use get.arcdata(), get.labdata(), get.paldata(), get.tablenames(), get.tablefields(),

Dear all, > On the advice of Virgilio, I converted my Arc v.8x coverage into v.7x, but > that made no difference (ESRI documenation says they should be the same anyway). D. Morisette has also reported some 'weird' coverages, which do not follow the standards. Perhaps you have one of them. Please, take a look at http://pages.infinit.net/danmo/e00/docs/v7_bin_cover.html Anyway,

Dear Steve, I'll post your question also to the R-help mailing list since I think this can help to other RArcInfo users. As I mentioned in the last release of the package, I have a tutorial nearly finished. I hope to release it in the next days. > I have downloaded an .e00 file of 2000 Census Tracts for the southern US > State of Georgia, and I'm wondering which steps I need to go

Hi, A new release of RArcInfo is avaialable from CRAN and http://matheron.uv.es/~virgil/Rpackages/RArcInfo/ The changes made are: *V 0.4-2 - 'index' argument added to plotarc to select the arcs to plot. - 'index' argument added to plotpal to select the polygons to plot. - New function 'get.nb', which, given a set of polygons, returns the neighbouring polygons of

Is there a way to generate maps in R. Specifically, I have calculated estimates of intra-regional inequality for US states, and would like to project that information onto a map. Thanks, Nirmala

i am using the rarcinfo package to draw maps. for maps, th aspect ratio is quite important. how can i control the aspect ratio and the size of a graphics window in the mswindows version of R and more generally in R in general. i would like to e able to both set the size before or while the window is corrected, and also for a window which already exists. -- -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported

Dear R users, I have found a quite uncommon behaviour when compiling a library I want to call from R (avce00, in package RArcInfo). I define CPL_LSB (-DCPL_LSB is passed to the compiler in the command line) but it's useless, since #ifdef CPL_LSB ... #endif clauses doesn't notice that CPL_LSB is defined. I also set -O2. Any clue? I have tested the library without optimising the code and

Hi everybody, I heard about "R(D)-COM Stat connector" for ArcGIS, but i am not sure what that is. I did a search in the archive but it seems i am not getting anything back. can anybody explain me what that is, and where i can find more info about it? There is any possibility to run R from inside ArcGIS? there is more than RArcInfo and Shapefile which can

Hi, I have been thinking about your questions and comments. And I think I have the answers. :D > the way you draw the polygons has the consequence that if the larger one > is drawn after the smaller one, > the color of the smaller one is "overwritten" > and therefore the map is really wrong in the relevant area. > so this needs fixing.

Hi, I have just put the source code (and a zip file for Window$ users) of package DCluster in my website: http://matheron.estadi.uv.es/~virgil/Rpackages/DCluster/ DCluster is a package that contains routines for the detection of spatial clusters of diseases (Openshaw's GAM, Besag and Newell, Kulldorff and Nagarwalla, Stone's Test and others). A full description can be found here:

Hi, I have to run lots of simulations based on several spatial scan statistics. Since the main overhead is due to a call to 'apply' , I was wondering whether it could be possible to parallelize this "loop". I know there are a few packages for parallel computing in R but I don't know whether it's worth trying them. Have anyone used these packages before? I have a linux

Dear R users, I am glad to announce the release of a new package for R: DCluster. It implements a number of methods for the detection of clusters of disease. It includes methods to test Poisson extra-variation (Chi-square test and Potthoff-Whittinghill's test), Spatial Autocorrelation (Moran's I and Geary's c), general clustering (Whittermore's statistic and Tango's

Hi, I asked some days ago how to guess the o.s. the machine is running. I found that it is stored in a variable called R_PLATFORM. Now I need a full list of all the values this variable can have because I need to set an option depending on the endianness of the platform in which we are compiling the package. Anyone can help me?

Hi R-users, I inted to make multiple plots using for loop. The question is how can I adjust the left hand side margin of the plot according to the names.arg argument in barplot2. In every plot I have different annotations in the y axis and they vary in length. Now when I have fixed margins opar <- par(mar=c(3,15,0,2)... I get the same margins in all of the plots. That leaves lots of white

R users, I have a problem with function strwidth in 2.7.1. I'm trying to set the plot margins in a way that horizontal column labels will fit to the graph. tmp.t is a list of data.frame objects. This code works well in 2.6.0. ...snip.. library(gplots) for (i in names(tmp.t)) { bmp(filename=paste(i, "_", Sys.Date(), ".bmp", sep=""), width=1038,

Sir, I have hit a the limits of my understanding of text / par / opar etc... I have a few related xts data frames which have multiple columns, and have written a for-loop to make a set of charts - however i do not get any margin text when i run the loop. when i test the code outside of the loop the margin text appears - however when i run the loop the margin text does not appear ... what gives?
