similar to: Odd behavior of strptime

Apologies in advance for the question. I am trying to draw a map of the US as a surface plot so that I would be able to drop bars on the different states (something like Uwe Ligges' scatterplot3d example 4). I am not sure where to start looking for such a beast. If anyone has any pointers, ideas, I will be grateful. TIA, Partha

Please don't take this the wrong way. There are a lot of extremely helpful people who subscribe to r-help. I was wondering if it is time to adopt a strategy a-la Splus help whereby people reply to the author and the author summarizes all the replies? Just a thought and have a good weekend. Partha

I am in the process of setting up R1.3.1 on a new computer running windows 2000. I am having problems running the PFE text editor simultaneously within R for editing functions and outside R for editing ordinary text files. The PFE editor behaves as I expected, if it is opened in R AND but no other PFE window is open outside R. Similarly, it also works fine if I am editing a text file outside

I see that the definition of axis() has changed from 1.5.1 to 1.6.1 (as mentioned in the news file for 1.6.0). Axis now has a color argument to change it's color. However, the following command worked in 1.5.1: > axis(1, at = c(0.1, 0.2, 1, 5, 10), fg= gray(0.7), cex.axis = 0.8, col.axis= "red") #plot the axis in gray with annotations in red. The command no longer works in

Hello, I just pulled the patched release: R-release Version 1.0.0 Patched (March 19, 2000), on HPUX10.2 I am having dynamic library load problems. I configured with: ./configure --prefix=/home/absd00t/local --with-readline --with-x After changing etc/Makeconf to take -lblas out of libs (the blas library provided by the system is not a shared library), system was built without any interruptions.

While plotting a table using plot(table), I am not able to suppress the axes with axes = FALSE. Am I missing something or is it a bug? For example: > x <- c(rep(0, 7), rep(1, 4), rep(5, 3), rep(6, 4), rep(8, 10)) > table(x) > plot(table(x), axes = FALSE) #does not suppress the axes > plot(table(x), frame.plot= FALSE, axes = FASLE) #deliberate spelling

Delving into the murky world of dates and times I found this: dates <- c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92", "02/28/92", "02/01/92") > times <- c("23:03:20", "22:29:56", "01:03:30", "18:21:03", "16:56:26") > x <- paste(dates, times) > z <- strptime(x, "%m/%d/%y

Appology in advance if this has been asked and answered. I am getting different answers using Fisher's exact test in the package ctest. For example: x_cbind(c(8, 22), c(31, 29)) fisher.test(x) Fisher's Exact Test for Count Data data: x p-value = 0.04024 alternative hypothesis: two.sided However, in SAS or other packages on the net the answer I get is p-value= 0.02664.

Task: To generate HTML output from R Details: I am trying to serve up HTML output from R. That is analyses or table of data from R saved as HTML output with formatted tables etc. This file is then called in a CGI script to output to user browser. The CGI script inspired by Mark J.

This is adapted from partha_bagchi@hgsi.com 's report on R-help: plot(0); title(expression("Bad\n with much much more text"))) gives something like Bad with much much more text (``newline w/o carriage return'') instead of centering both lines such as Bad with much much more text which is produced by (just dropping

Dear R users, I have noticed that my R startup is extremely slow. It takes almost 3 minutes from "double-click" to R prompt. I have been running R-0.64.1 till recently and it took about 30 sec. I still have access to R-0.64.1. When I started it up, it took about 25 sec. Can anyone tell me if this is a bug in R or a problem with my machine? Note: This is after bootup with R being the

Hi all, I have been chipping away at a problem I encountered in calculating rates per year from a moderately large data file (46412 rows). When I ran the following command, I got obviously wrong output: interval<- c(NA,as.numeric(diff( strptime(mkdf$MEAS_DATE,"%d/%m/%Y")))/365.25) The values in MEAS_DATE looked like this: mkdf$MEAS_DATE[1:10] [1] 1/5/1962 1/5/1963

I am trying to coerce a data frame column from character to datetime using strptime but keep getting an error because the length of the coerced object is always 9.

Hi All In trying to correlate some tide gauge data I need to deal with varying timezones. From the documentation on strptime, it seemed that the tz variable might have some effect on the conversion, but I'm not seeing an effect. > strptime("20061201 1:02 PST",format="%Y%m%d %H:%M",tz="PST")+0 [1] "2006-12-01 01:02:00 EST" >
