similar to: The best way to end up with WMF files

Hi all I posted a couple of days ago about how to end up with wmf files eventually in R for linux. The short answer was: you (probably) can't...and don't! The journal in question also accepts TIFF files, I am told (it's a physiology journal). So I adjust my question: What is the best way to get TIFF files out of R? It can't create them directly as far as I can tell.

Hi all I'm using Sweave and find it a treat. But one question: I use Sweave to create my pictures which are automatically included into LaTeX. For example, in the file test.Snw, I may have: % LaTeX stuff \begin{figure} <<fig=true,width=5,height=5>>= x1 <- seq(1,5, length=10) x2 <- sin(x1) plot(x1,x2) @ \caption{Plot} \end{figure} % More LaTeX This produces the LaTeX

libEMF (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libemf/) looks like it may be the solution to generating WMF/EMF files on Unix. It's a general-purpose (LGPL) library that implements the EMF API ... (I was originally going to write to the list to ask why small circles appear to be filled (in src/gnuwin32/graphapp/gdraw.c) by generating a series of rectangles rather than using some kind of

Hi all I am trying to package a library in R 1.6.1 (Windoze XP). I have read the document "Writing R extensions" and think I have done things correctly (though apparently not). I have searched the mail archives for help to no avail. I also posted a few days ago and thanks to Peter Dalgaard I have managed to focus my search for errors. I am trying to create a library in R. I run the

Hi all I'm using Sweave and LaTeX, and love how they interact. But here's a different interaction I'm not sure how to achieve; I hope someone can help. I use a simple example, of course, to demonstrate. Suppose in my LaTeX document I have this: Here is a linear equation: \begin{equation} y = -1 + 3 x \label{EQ:example} \end{equation} This appears in the final product

Hi all After posting what follows, Duncan Murdoch suggested perhaps a bug in formatC, or an error on documentation. Any comments? In particular, bug, error or not, any ideas about how I can consistently get two significant figures to print? P. ---------- Original Message ---------- Hi all I am not a C programmer, but I am trying to understand formatC to get consistent printing of

Hi all I am converting an S-Plus function into R. The S-Plus code uses some of the glm families, and family objects. The family objects in S-Plus and R have many different features, for example: In R: > names(Gamma()) [1] "family" "link" "linkfun" "linkinv" "variance" [6] "dev.resids" "aic"

Hi all, I am trying to package a library in R 1.6.1 (Windoze XP). I have read the document "Writing R extensions" and think I have done things correctly (though apparently not). I have searched the mail archives for help to no avail. When I try to attach the library using, eg > library( libname, lib.loc=path.to.library) I get this message: Warning message: NAs introduced by

Hi all Suppose I do the following: set.seed(1000) library(xtable) x <- runif( 10 ) y <- 1 + 2*x + rnorm( length(x) ) test.lm <- lm( y ~ x ) summary( test.lm ) xtable ( summary( test.lm ) ) The final xtable output follows: % latex table generated in R 1.8.1 by xtable 1.2-2 package % Tue Jun 22 09:56:36 2004 \begin{table}[ht] \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{rrrrr} \hline &

Hi all I'm doing some things with a colleague comparing different sorts of models. My colleague has fitted a number of glms in Genstat (which I have never used), while the glm I have been using is only available for R. He has a spreadsheet of fitted means from each of his models obtained from using the Genstat "predict" function. For example, suppose we fit the model of the type

Hi all I love Sweave; use it all the time. But I recently received a new computer, and ever since I have had a problem I've never seen before. For example, I place the following in my Snw file: <<>>= sms <- read.table("http://www.sci.usq.edu.au/staff/dunn/Datasets/applications/popular/smsspeed.dat", header=TRUE) attach(sms) sms.lm <- lm( Time ~ Age*Phone,

Hi all In two days, I am giving a small, informal workshop in our Department about using R. Initially, it was just for statistician, but surprisingly (to me anyhow) many mathematicians are also coming who have a MATLAB background. They are coming at the Workshop from a teaching perspective. They are considering using R to avoid licensing issues with MATLAB. One thing they were hoping me to

Hi all Two questions: 1. I note that help for the postscript device claims "The postscript produced by R is EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) compatible...". It does not say it is EPS *compliant*. Indeed, the EPS produced by R includes a \showpage command which I believe (not that I'm an expert!) non-standard EPS. My question: Is there any reason why it is EPS compatible, but

Hi all I have a plot with lines, one specified as (say) lty=1, using standard line types, and another as (say) my own spec: lty="51". I can't get legend to display both. Toy example: > plot(1~1) > legend("topright", lty=c("51",1), legend=c("My own","Standard")) Error in segments(x1, y1, x2, y2, ...) : invalid line type: must be

Hi all I am using R to produce postscript pictures via the postscript command. I have never had any problems... until now, when I want to inlcude my .ps file is a LaTeX document *without* a white background. (If it's important, I'm using the prosper class with the whitecross option, so the background in blue.) I would like my .ps file to have a white background. If I read the help

Hi all I am having troubles making sense of why code (1) below fails but code (2) below works. Code (1): > phi.1 <- 1 > plot(0 ~ 0, + main=substitute(paste("A vaue for ",phi," = ",phival), list(phival=phi.1)) ) Error in paste("The two deviances for ", phi, " = ", 2) : Object "phi" not found But this works: Code (2): >

Hi all I have a question about plotting line types and legends. Here's a short piece of code to demonstrate: x <- y <- seq(1,10) plot(x,y, type ="l", lty="33") lines(x,y+1, lty=1) legend( 8,2,legend=c("lty=1","lty=\"33\""), lty=c(1,"33") ) On my system (see below), the line types in the legend are not the same as in the

Hi all I'm getting a NaN returned on using dffits, as explained below. To me, there seems no obvious (or non-obvious reason for that matter) reason why a NaN appears. Before I start digging further, can anyone see why dffits might be failing? Is there a problem with the data? Consider: # Load data dep <-

Hi all I wish to create a ps file of a picture produced in R. With my limited R, I see two ways: 1. Print direct to the postscript device 2. Print to the screen, and save to ps using dev.print. I want a white (not transparent) background. Option 1 above works fine, but 2 does not: even when I say I want a white background, I get transparent; perhaps I misread the help files. Here's some R
