similar to: size of graphics device

I have compiled R 1.7.1 with gnome and installed the gtkDevice on a Linux RH 8 system. This is my first use of this device and I have two questions about it. 1. After running R --rui="gnome", the console comes up. To open a graphics window, I open the gtkDevice library [library(gtkDevice)], then start a gtk device [gtk()]. After the library command, I receive the message from R

I would like to draw smooth curves instead of polygons. I could not find any spline function to do that : given an x and a y vectors, they all take the x in increasing order. Is there a function to draw a smooth curve through a set of points in any order ? with many thanks in advance Alain Guerreau CNRS Paris [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

Hi R-devel I use the packages RGtk2 and cairoDevice. The cairoDevice package has a few stand-alone functions, plus "asCairoDevice" which depends on RGtk2 and calls require(RGtk2). So cairoDevice lists RGtk2 under "Suggests" in the DESCRIPTION file. It can not Import RGtk2 because that would force all users to install RGtk2. The upshot of this is, if you *import* the RGtk2

Dear all, when I try to install gtkDevice on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (R v. 1.7.1), I get the following comfiguration error (see below). Has anyone else had this problem? Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Hello! I am trying to install gtkDevice package, but without success. It is complaining about: * Installing *source* package 'gtkDevice' ... checking for gtk-config... no checking for gtk12-config... no ERROR: Cannot find gtk-config. I am using Ubuntu 6.06, and I cannot find that package in the repositories. Is there a remedy of any kind? What can I do? Best, Petar M.

Hi everybody, I'm making an application using the package tcltk. Everything goes fine until I load the package RGtk. The interface doesn't work anymore. Is there any conflict between these packages? I thought about unloading the package RGtk but I don't know how to do that. Thanks, -- Talita Perciano Costa Leite Graduanda em Ci??ncia da Computa????o Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Hello all, I've put together a quick and dirty menubar + dialogs + spreadsheet GUI for R using the RGtk package. Performance is not great (OOP is a real memory hog?), the design may be worse, but the hope is that it will be useful in an introductory stats course while we await the arrival of a real gui with ObveRsive and SciViews. The package can be found at

Greetings all: Newcomer to R as I work on learning it to transfer my college classroom stats training to something more useful and accurate then that spreadsheet from Redmond which shall remain nameless. I'm running v2.6.2 on a Win XP Home system that I keep up to date with all the called for patches. Haven't added much to the basic install other than the bits and bobs needed to run

Hello! When I draw points on grid's viewport with clip set to TRUE clipping does not have effect on some symbols. It happens only when drawing over gtkDevice (GTK ver. 1.2) (with postscript device clipping works OK - take a look at this screenshot http://www.hppi.troitsk.ru/Kondrin/clipbug.png) and only with symbols that are drawn with commands other than gdk_draw_polygon() (i.e. circles

Dear All, I am running Debian testing on my system for the amd64 architecture, When trying to install the RGtk package I get this error > install.packages('RGtk2') Installing package(s) into ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library?

HI R users, I would appreciate information/examples/suggestions on building GUIs for R applications. I am currently working on a project that would require the following functionalities : 1) Display a window to the user. Provide a function to scan local drive and choose dataset file. 2) Display the column names for the user to choose the dependent variable and the independent variables. 3) Fit

Hi people, I'm developing an application (in Linux) using tcltk and calling ggobi from that application (using the Rggobi package). After I load ggobi and want to use the windows made by tcltk I get some errors and sometimes R cracks. I believe the problem is because the packages Rggobi, RGtk and tcltk are running together. I thought about a solution that would be unload the Rggobi and RGtk

Dear r helpers, In my exploration of the tcltk facilities of R I've had some success but some failures, and wonder if someone could point me to a solution.

I have data that comes in every 7 seconds or so and I'd like to display it in a spreadsheet, and possibly take user input from the spreadsheet. I have installed RGnumeric and written an appropriate R function that reads, manipulates and displays the data by writing via RGnumeric to a spreadsheet. However, the results of this are not displayed until the R function returns, so refreshing by

...does not work. Do k<-grid.points(c(0.1,0.2,0.3),c(0.1,0.2,0.3),pch=3,vp=viewport()) (symbol - +). Try to change it grid.edit(k, pch=1) (symbol - open circle). Get filled squares. pch from 0 to 25 produces the same output. pch="x" - works OK. Device - x11(), gtk() (from GtkDevice). R -1.6.1

Hello, This message is little off-topic in R-help. Sorry for that, but not all interested people are wired yet to r-sig-gui (http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-gui). Thanks for your comprehension. A preview version of SciViews (a Graphical User Interface for R under Windows, http://www.sciviews.org) was released a few weeks ago. Since then, the Web site recorded several

OK, my journey to make lab machines automagically install & update all desirable R packages is nearing an end! The only question I have now is this: How can I control where the system prints the *.Rout file that is created automatically when the R batch program runs. In "man R" I don't find any information about it. When the cron job runs "R_installAll.sh" (see

Dear all, Is the restricted cubic spline function working properly in the glm model? We used glm(y~rcs(x,5), family=binomial) but it seems that for some theoretical reasons the rcs, restricted cubic spline function can not be fitted by a glm function. Is this correct? Regards, Jan ((Originally, we used lrm(y~ rcs(x,5)) but we couldn't find how to derive the AIC value of the fitted model.

Hi UseRs, I recently started working with the RGtk2 library. The documentation is comprehensive and I've tried learning from the examples in most Gtk tutorials (which have C code). This is a little problematic, but has helped quite a bit in getting me started. I would like to create a GUI for file selection, which then displays the column names from the selected file, and provides the user
