Hi, I'm new to R and I'm finding it quite a chore trawling through the R documentation to find a function to carry out simple atomic tasks. Is any one aware of R help documentation that is aranged in functional categories for e.g.: String manipulation File I/O Dataframe, List manipulation etc, etc ... Thanks _________________________________________________________________ Get

If all rows are in the same "group", rowsum() returns a vector instead of a (1xN) matrix, contrary to documentation: R> print(z <- rowsum(matrix(1:12, 3,4), rep("x",3))) [1] 6 15 24 33 R> dim(z) NULL It worked correctly in version 1.4.0 but was broken by version 1.6.1. I'm currently using 1.7.1 under Solaris 2.8. --please do not edit the information

I want to put multiple plots on a page using par(mfrow), then a single title at the top. This should work, but doesn't: R> par(oma=c(0,0,4,0), mfrow=c(3,4)) R> for (i in 1:12) {plot(1); title(i)} R> ## text(10,10, ".") R> par(mfrow=c(1,1), oma=c(0,0,1,0)) R> title("Main Title") The main title does not appear. However, uncommenting the third line

Dear R users, I am having problems building R packages in Windows xp. I have followed the instructions from Peter E. Rossi in Documentation -> Other, except for the TeX version (fpTeX), since when I go to the recommended webpage, it is said that fpTeX has been discontinued. I have MikTeX in my computer, and I have followed the recommendations in

Hi the reference to R Internals https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-ints.html#Tools in ?check (PkgUtils.Rd in utils package) is stale. Here is my proposed patch (use named reference rather than numeric reference to avoid any similar broken links in the future).

Hi, I directed somebody to install R (2.6.1) on his OSX computer, following instructions from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx. She can run R from the console. But plot(1:10) doesn't produce any output or open a window (as I am used to from linux). More importantly: Rscript is not in the path (minor problem ln -s is hopefully doable). I tried to put a hardcoded path to Rscript into the

As shown below, the build process fails with only vague messages, leaving me clueless as to how to resolve. Thanks, in advance, for any help that you may offer.

Hi! Due to package maintenance I have removed some functions but forgot to update the coresponding Rd files. If R CMD check is checking for missing documentation entries why it does not check for documentation entries which tell the user about nonexisting funcitons? In my opinion checking for documentation entries that document non-existing functions is much more important than the other way

I've had a lot of requests for additions to the reproducible research task view that fall into a grey area (to me at least). For example, roxygen2 is a tool that broadly enable reproducibility but I see it more as a tool for better programming. I'm about to check in a new version of the task view that includes packrat and checkpoint, as they seem closer to reproducible research, but also

The countdown to R version 1.8.0 has begun. As a novelty, we now make preliminary source tarballs available somewhat earlier in the process. They will be found in http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base with names of the form R-1.8.0alpha_2003-09-10.tar.gz The first one was created a moment ago; subsequent ones will be created by a cron job that runs at 05:00 local (Wisconsin) time. There are

Dear List, I have just compiled my first R library for submission to CRAN; however, I have a tiny problem with 'R CMD check' that is holding me back. I have read extensively the PDF document on Writing R Extensions and the 'Making R Packages Under Windows' tutorial by P. Rossi. All functions are given in R code (no C/C++/Fortran) with two very simple demonstration datasets. My

Hello! I have just read mails in thread <http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04a/0583.html> about problems with Cygwin and Rtools. I had the same problems and kept just the newest cygwin1.dll and things seem OK now. However I currently hit the problem with Perl (I have ActiveState and Cygwin Perl installed). When I tried to work with 'Rdconv' in Cygwin I get the following: $

Hi there, I'm trying to get the manual for an R package (that I'm creating) to work... Firstly, I created the *.Rd files (by following the instructions in "Writing R Extensions" and using prompt() in R, then edit the *.Rd files. I then copy them into the "pkg/man" directory as suggested by the manual. However when I load the library (successfully) in R, I cannot
