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 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 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

Hi all I am doing some stats work for a group of biologists who require windows metafiles (*.wmf) for their publications. To create these, I appear to have two choices: 1. Restart my machine in Windows and use savePlot 2. Keep my machine in linux, save as another format, then convert. I'd rather stay in linux; but how do I get wmf files? I looked at using ImageMagick's convert,

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 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 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"

Tha handy thinb about the fig=TRUE option in Sweave is that you do not have to bother about filenames and starting and stpping the device. I want the the resulting LaTeX to look as: \begin{Schunk} \begin{Sinput} > x <- seq(-2 * pi, 2 * pi, 0.1) > plot(x, cos(x), type = "l", lwd = 4) \end{Sinput} \end{Schunk} \begin{figure} \includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{xx-001}

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

Dear all, I want to start my post by expressing my sincere gratitude for all the help this group has given me in Sweave/Latex/R. The tools are excellent and so is the community! On to the question. My Sweave code is intended to make lots of plots and create a *.pdf document. Sweave is perfect for this. The only problem is that I find myself using the same R code, within my Sweave input file

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 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 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

I have found a quite strange (to me) behaviour in Sweave. It only occurs in the following situation: 1. define a variable in one chunk 2. use it within a subsequent figure-generating chunk 3. delete it at the end of that same chunk Then the Sweave driver chokes, not finding the variable name when generating the figure Example: % document bug2.Rnw \documentclass{article} \usepackage{Sweave}

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, I have trouble with Sweave (I think) cutting of my newlines. As stated in the help of Sweave, I generate tex code straight from R for dynamically computed reports. If I do this in R: for (i in 0:4) {cat("\n",i,"\n")};cat("\n 3") 0 1 2 3 4 3 The output looks correct. However, Sweave for some reason seems to trim everything outside

This may be asking too much, but I'm wondering if anyone has a solution (even a hack) for creating multiple (overlay) plots in an Sweave file and post-processing the overlays in beamer appropriately. For example, suppose I have a series of figure blocks in my .Rnw file: <<plot1,fig=TRUE>>= [stuff] @ <<plot2,fig=TRUE>>= [stuff] @ <<plot3,fig=TRUE>>=

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 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
