Hi Is there a way to programmatically tell whether R is running in batch or GUI mode?

Hi Does anyone know of any R routines to send emails from R, under Windows? I thought about writing such a facility using the R(D)COM package to drive e.g. MS Outlook, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have found a function Sys.mail in the library syskern, but this only works under Unix by shelling out a mail command. Thanks, David

Hi Does anybody know of any R packages under Windows to produce video files from a sequence of R graphs -- e.g. in .wmv or avi format? Thanks David

Hello I am using Duncan Lang's RDCOM Client package (available on omegahat.org) under R 1.7.0 and Windows XP Pro. Is this the right forum for questions about this package? In case it is, here is my question: Instances of COM objects do not seem to terminate as expected, but leave residual processes running. For example, if I try the simple example: E <-

hi I need 'rw1062.zip' since i can't get excel, R1070 or R1071 to work with the R (D)COM Server everything worked fine in the god rw1062 days the lapack routines can't be loaded 'unable to load shared library c:\r/moduleslapack.dll, the specified library could not be found' don't know if it's the forward slashes that anoys windows btw, the libraries are in the

Hi I'm having problems getting the "factorized" argument in solve.QP (part of the quadprog library) to work as expected. The helpfile states that when the factorized argument is set to TRUE, then the function requires the inverse of a square-root factor of the Hessian instead of the Hessian itself. That is, when factorized=TRUE, the Dmat argument should be a matrix R^(-1), such

Hi I am using package RODBC version 1.0-1 under R version 1.7.1 on Windows XP Pro. I am having problems writing a new table to an (Excel) database using sqlSave. I connect to an empty Excel spreadsheet using odbcConnectExcel (which, I believe, uses the Microsoft Excel Driver DSN). Then I try and save a new table to the database(spreadsheet) using SqlSave, but obtain an error message. Below is

Hi Does anyone know of any automatic way of mapping out the dependencies of a function -- i.e. automatically listing which other functions that function calls? I tried using all.names or all.vars, but I can't get it to work on a function: e.g. > test = function(x, y) return(sin(x + y)*cos(x + y)) > all.names(expression(test)) [1] "test" I guess the problem is that all.names

Hi Is there a way to specify the location on the screen where a new graphics device opens, for example with a call to win.graph()? I'm using R 1.7.0 on Windows XP. Thank you. Regards, David

Hi I am using the heatmap function in package mva to look at large correlation matrices visually. Is there any way to "flip" the output of heatmap plot left-right so that, if presented with a correlation matrix, it plots the unity elements in the correlation matrix along a diagonal from top left to bottom right? For example: library(mva) x = matrix(rnorm(1000), ncol=10) z = cor(x)

The example from the help page for strptime has the following oddity: > 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 <-

Greetings, R-Wizards: I'm trying to find an extremum subject to a nonlinear constraint. (Yes, I have perused the archives but have found nothing positive.) The details of the problem are these: In a paper published some years ago in Technometrics, ("Confidence bands for cumulative distribution functions of continuous random variables" Technometrics, 25, 77-86. 1983), Cheng and

Hi Charles, Thanks for your response. No, I only put 192.168.1.64 as an extra option as I want to allow Slave access from another computer. Otherwise, access will normally only be from localhost. There is only one network interface on this machine. I will try it out with "LISTEN 0.0.0.0 3493" and see what happens. I must confess I usually run without a firewall as I'm only running a

Hi, I'm trying to write a function to return an R vector which points directly to a contiguous subset of another vector, without taking a copy. Since SEXPREC is a header followed by the data, rather than the header plus a pointer to the data, I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is possible. Is there a way of doing this? Similar in spirit to how the R assignment "x=y" does

Is there a cheat-sheet anywhere that describes how to do SQL-like manipulations on a data frame? My knowledge of R is rather limited. But from my experience it seems as though one can think of data frames as being similar to tables in a database: there are rows, columns, and values. Also, one can perform similar manipulations on a data frame as one can on a table. For example:

Hi, I apologize if this has previously been posted. I've just subscribed to the R-help digest. I'm writing a plotting function that uses layout() to plot several different plots on the same device. This function uses plot(), image(), and a custom function that uses text(). Each cell of the layout needs different par() parameters, so what I'd like to do is pass them as lists:

Dear R users, I am analysing a very large data set and I need to perform several data manipulations. The dataset is so big that the only way I can play with it without having memory problems (E.g. "cannot allocate vectors of size...") is to write a batch script to: 1. cut the data into pieces 2. save the pieces in seperate .RData files 3. Remove everything from the environment 4. load

Hi, Does anyone know how to pass dynamic sql statement to RODBC function "odbcQuery()" or "sqlQuery()"? eg.: under R session, I did: >library(RODBC) >channel<-odbcConnect(...) >data1<-2.5 >data2<-5.0 I want to construct the INSERT sql statement using variables "data1" and "data2" and pass this statement to odbcQuery() . Can I do this?
