Hello! Don't quite understand how can I delete grobs and simultaneously erase graphic output they produce. I first change grob's "vp" field to null (grid.edit(gr,vp=NULL)) to erase it and then call rm(gr) (as grobs are external pointers I'm not shure what this method actually frees allocated memory). May be there is simpler method? Does garbage collector have any effect

Hi everybody, I a, trying to use R as a pipe like this: cat inputData | R --silent RCommandFile >outputData The RCommandFile would contain something like readLines(stdin()). I have tryed various things and none did work cleanly. One possible solution is to use the pipe() function inside R and to pass in the "cat inputData" however this is not very convenient since I would like to

Hello! When I draw points on grid's viewport with clip set to TRUE clipping does not have effect on some symbols. It happens only when drawing over gtkDevice (GTK ver. 1.2) (with postscript device clipping works OK - take a look at this screenshot http://www.hppi.troitsk.ru/Kondrin/clipbug.png) and only with symbols that are drawn with commands other than gdk_draw_polygon() (i.e. circles

Dear all, I feel like I've been reinventing the wheel with this code (implementing type = 'b' for Grid graphics), http://econum.umh.ac.be/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:graphics-grid:linesandpointsgrob Has anyone here attempted this with success before? I found suggestions of overlapping large white points to mask the lines but it's not ideal. I welcome any comments on the code.

Dear all, In an attempt to draw fill patterns in grid graphics, I have encountered a behavior of grobX that I cannot understand from the documentation. Consider this, library(grid) ## gTree g1 <- gTree(children=gList( rectGrob(0.5,0.5, width=unit(0.8,"npc"), height=unit(2,"cm")), circleGrob(r=0.3)), vp=viewport(0.5,0.5)) ##

Hello! There is a group of administartors of Russian internet site www.linuxportal.ru (this is mainly a forum for linux-users) who are intended to host on this site mirrors of linux distributions and open source software with http and ftp access. I have proposed to them to open there a CRAN mirror, making a point what this site would be a first R mirror in .ru domain, and they seems to accept

Dear all, I'm trying to access and modify grobs in a ggplot2 plot. The basic idea for raw Grid objects I understand from Paul Murrell's R graphics book, or this page of examples, http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/grid/copygrob/copygrobs.R However I can't figure out how to apply this to a ggplot (basically I don't know how to write a syntactically correct gPath), p

I am having a problem in editing a grob. It works ok if I try to shift the grob using npc coordinates but if I do the same thing using native coordinates the grob disappears. What is wrong? library(grid) grid.newpage() # create viewport pushViewport(viewport(xscale = c(100,200), name = "X")) # draw vertical line grid.lines(150, 0:1, default.units = "native", name =

Dear list, As a minimal test of a more complex grid layout, I'm trying to find a clean and efficient way to arrange text grobs in a rectangular layout. The labels may be expressions, or text with a fontsize different of the default, which means that the cell sizes should probably be calculated using grobWidth() and grobHeight() as opposed to simpler stringWidth() and stringHeight().

Dear R-Users, I need to find a smooth function f() and coefficients a_i that give the best fit to y ~ a_0 + a_1*f(x_1) + a_2*f(x_2) Note that it is the same non-linear transformation f() that is applied to both x_1 and x_2. So my first question is how can I do it in R? A more general question is this: suppose I have a utility function U(a_i, f()), where f() is say a spline. Is there a general

Dear list, The dichromat package defines a dichromat function which "Collapses red-green color distinctions to approximate the effect of the two common forms of red-green colour blindness, protanopia and deuteranopia." library(dichromat) library(grid) colorStrip <- function (colors = 1:3, draw = TRUE) { x <- seq(0, 1 - 1/length(colors), length = length(colors)) y <-

Hi, I apologize for not following the posting rules? Here is the text from my previous post: "I started evaluating the 'Peaks' package a couple of months ago and found it to be quite useful. Getting back to it last week I had to set up my R environment due to hardware changes again. The Peaks package loads with no problem. After successfully reinstalling all packages (RedHat

Hello! Some CS-guys (the type who knows what Church formalism is) keep asking me questions about formal definitions of R-language that I can not answer (or even understand). Is there some freely available papers which I can throw at them where it would be explained is R functional/OOP/procedural language, does it use weak/strong, dynamic/static typization, does it use lazy or ...(do not know

According David Jame's response to my earlier question, there is a problem with setGeneric.setMethod in R 1.8.0 that affects DBI and RMySQL. Is there a fix for this? David Jame's refers to an 'R-patched version' but I haven't seen anything like this on CRAN. Would going back to an older version of R solve the problem? Thanks, Barnet Wagman "David James wrote:

I was wondering the same thing. The traceroute seems to end at their border router, which leads me to believe that they has a hardware failure. Hoping that they get it up in a few days. I've checked around and there are a few mirrors but they all just hang, so I guess we have to wait... Mark Fowle ------------------------------------------------------- Navicom Inc.

Hi all, I would like to ask that is there any function in R which can solve nonlinear system equations with several variables. Thats mean some functions similar to the 'fsolve' or 'fzero' in matlab.

Hi Folks, I'm contemplating using locator() to digitise external graphics. To set context, I would be using X11 display on Linux. To pre-empt the obvious comment: I've found on the R site the suggestion to use the 'pixmap' package. I've tried this, and it works; but it involves building a big R object (the internal pixmap representation), and this chokes my somewhat puny

Hi everyone I'd like to flip grobs (grid graphical objects) along an axis, e.g. flip grobs horizontally or vertically. I couldn't find any hints, neither in the documentation nor by searching the web. Does anybody know how to achieve this? Cheers /thomas

Dear R-users I have some trouble to generate more than one key with xyplot using the legend argument. I would like one key with rectangles: library(lattice) library(grid) key1 <- list(rectangles = list(col= c(rev(heat.colors(5))[1:5], rev(heat.colors(5))[4:1])), title="Percentiles", space="right",
