similar to: help output paged in separate window

Hi there. R v1.3.0, Slackware linux 7.1 or Windows 98SE, PII 266, 64Mb RAM. I notice that under windows, R puts help info (ie. the response to '?<function>') into a new window, whereas under linux, it puts it into the main console window. I find the former much more helpful when checking a function's syntax. Is there a simple way of configuring R under linux to put its help

Dear R users, Is there the possibitily in R under X11 to get (after typing help(...) command) separate help window, as it is in Windows version?

hi, is there a way to make r open the help file in a separate window? i'm quite new to linux(kubuntu) and used to work with r under windows... thanks, katharina

Peter Dalgaard's interest in a different method of help display led me to combine R's method of finding the help files, which is much better than the search method I initially used, with a system call to display the help file in an arbitrary method in another window. For the original request of using "less" in an xterm, the user would have to create a batch file (in *NIX or

R-users, (forgive my return adres) I've been breaking my head why R---which i find fabulous, by the way---does not pipe interactive output through a pager (more or less), like it does with help(), or like GNU Octave does with arrays with more than terminal height rows. Maybe it is my installation (Debian/GNU Linux). Maybe it is my configuration, but i don't think so because with

Friends: I have a tcltk widget for inputting constants and other values that are needed by subsequent R functions. My widget works well. I have an OnOK function that does what I had hoped it would. Among other input items the widget also uses 6 radio buttons to select one of 6 choices. It functions as it should. Here is the problem: I would like one of the buttons to be the default and to

Dear List: I am trying to find a command in R which is like the unix command "less" or "more" to show the data in a object of R. did anyone can help me on this? Is there a collection of such unix-like commands in R? Thanks. -ZRL [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

let's talk about writing tools that use markdown (or more broadly, another form of light-markup)... to begin with, there is the markdown "dingus"... from a demo perspective, it has been _fantastic_. it has provided interested observers a quick idea about the simplicity and the power of markdown. as a writing tool, it's a bit clunky; it will work, yes, but i'd doubt many

Sometimes I print out a package and read about it and there are sometimes nice examples that I would like to run myself. Is there a way to bring them into R from the package or are they only meant to be typed in manually ? If manual is the only way, that's fine. I was just checking whether there was a quicker way. Thanks. Mark

When I try to install R-patched of January 26 on my linux (fedora core 1, with openmosix kernel) box, make fails in the first recommended package with the message tkStartGUI text html latex tkpager text html latex make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/setzer/newstuff/R-patched/src/library' make[2]: Entering directory

Hi Folks, I need help with a query about R on Windows, specifically about graphics devices. I'm advising someone remotely (so it's all by email) who is running R on Windows, while I am not (Linux only). Things have reached the stage where saving graphics plots as Windows metafiles is looming. I've been told that the result of "?device" in Windows is as follows (which is

I have two CSV files (exported from Excel), say file1 and file2. The have the same number of rows, and each has several columns, with names on the first line; and some of the columns in file1 are repeated in file2. Using the "foreign" package, I can read these in separately to dataframes say d1 and d2 with > d1<-read.csv("file1") >

ging_prep ensures that an mfn is backing the paged-out gfn, and transitions to the next state in the paging state machine for this page. Foreign mappings of the gfn will now succeed. This is the key idea, as it allows the pager to now map the gfn and fill in its contents. Unfortunately, it also allows any other foreign mapper to map the gfn and read its contents. This is particularly dangerous

Add support for a xenstore dm command to flush qemu''s buffer cache. qemu will just keep mapping pages and not release them, which causes problems for the memory pager (since the page is mapped, it won''t get paged out). When the pager has trouble finding a page to page out, it asks qemu to flush its buffer, which releases all the page mappings. This makes it possible to find

Hey folks, I'm trying to compare my small company's policy against other companies out there. We pay 10% of your per-hour salary equivalent per every hour you carry it, whether it goes off or not. So for example someone making $55K/year works out to about $27 / hour (I think), so they'd get $2.70 for every hour they carry the pager outside of regular work hours. We are a company

Greetings Folks, When R code (as entered or read from a courced file) is executed, is it interpreted from the input form every time having once been read in, or do subsequent invocations use an "intermediate" (pre-interpreted) form? Or, putting it another way, is the execution of R code faster second time time round (and later) because the pre-interpretation has already been done once

Hi Folks, I'm interested in looking (in a beginner's amateurish way) at prosodic/phonetic analysis of recorded speech. In particular I would want to use R to formulate and evaluate specific models. So I would like to ask R people for their recommendations for a program which would a) Take as input a sound file in one of the common formats (".wav", ".au") b)

Can someone clarify what I cannot make out from the documentation? The function 'clogit' in the 'survival' package is described as performing a "conditional logistic regression". Its return value is stated to be "an object of class clogit which is a wrapper for a coxph object." This suggests that its usefulness is confined to the sort of data which arise in

Hi Folks, What is the best way to avoid a function being read in anew (and masking an exiting function) when a definition of it has already been established in R? Reason: Fernando Tusell and I are working up Schafer's 'CAT' for R (basically done now, just needs some cosmetic tidying up). This uses a function 'slice.index', present in S but not in the versions of R we were

Sorry Folks, I'm sure I could suss out the answer myself but I need it soon ... ! 1. Given a set of 4 variables X,Y,Z,W in a dataframe DF, I make a scatter-plot matrix using splom(DF). 2. I do all regressions of U on V using lm(U~V), where U and V are all 12 different ordered pairs from X,Y,Z,W. 3. Now I would like to superpose the regression lines from (2) onto the corresponding
