Dear List, I've tried to set default par() in .Rprofile by putting the following in the .First function: setHook(packageEvent("graphics", "onLoad"), function(...) {graphics::par(cex.axis=1.5, cex.lab=2, las=1)} ) My goal was to set par() defaults without opening a device everytime at startup. However, the next plot I create doesn't show these

Thanks a lot. setHook is Currently not in my knowledge set But it's great to save these Thing so I can look them up When I feel more comfortable. Just to add to that Stata versus R discussion : I believe, anyone who uses any other package than R, is probably missing out in the long run. It's truly unbelievable what has been done here. I feel like I fell asleep for 5 years ( by not using

The package I'm working on can extract data from external packages but would otherwise have no dependency on them. However, I desire to be able to dispatch based on an external S3 class if its package is attached (.First.lib). My code is S4-based and its package has NAMESPACE. Registering the external class prior to the other package being attached doesn't seem to work so I am attempting

Many Japanese were troubled with the setting of the font. I added the following to .Rprofile first. setHook(packageEvent("grDevices", "onLoad"), function(...){ grDevices::quartzFonts(sans=grDevices::quartzFont( c("Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic

R-devel has new versions of the X11(), png() and jpeg() devices on Unix-alikes. The intention is that these are used identically to the previous versions (which remain available) but will produce higher-quality output with more features. Pros: Antialiasing of text and lines (can be turned off) but no blurring of fills. Buffering of the X11 display and fast repainting from a backing image.

Hi , I am running R from C using the interpreter . Now i execute detach("package:td", unload=TRUE) And I get the following error . Any idea what it means ? *** caught segfault *** address 0x102, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: sys.parent() 2: sys.function(sys.parent()) 3: formals(sys.function(sys.parent())) 4: match.arg(event) 5: packageEvent(pkgname,

Hi, after a debian upgrade my dev.copy2eps dont work anymore. I have this message: Error in matchFont(postscriptFonts(family)[[1]], old$encoding) : unknown font I try to change the font family in my .Rprofile: setHook(packageEvent("graphics", "onLoad"), function(...) { grDevices::ps.options(family="ComputerModern") } ) But it no fix

Hi all, several packages print messages during loading. How do I avoid to see them when the packages are in the defaultPackages? Here is an example. With this in ~/.Rprofile ,----[ ~/.Rprofile ] | old <- getOption("defaultPackages") | options(defaultPackages = c(old, "filehash")) | rm(old) `---- I get as last line when starting R: ,---- | filehash: Simple key-value

Hi, Is there a way to incorporate an R object x to a file already containing R objects? It seems that 'save' is not capable to do this. If I save x to a file containing previously saved data, then I will lose this data. I use the funcion hsv in .Rprofile but it is recognized. Couriously, if I source .Rprofile when R is already running I do not get any error message. Thank you.

I think I did enough reading on my Own about startup ( part of the morning And most of this afternoon ) to not feel uncomfortable asking for confirmation of my understanding of this startup stuff. Obviously, the startup process is more complicated Than below but, for my R newbie purposes, It seems like I can think of the startup process as follows : Suppose my home directory =

Hi, is there away to assure that a package is detached when R quits? I know about .Last(), but that requires the user to setup that function. What I am looking for is a way for the package to do this itself, without asking the user to edit "their" .Last(). From ?setHook I know that: "...when an R is finished, packages are not detached and namespaces are not unloaded, so

Hi, I am trying to find a way to automate production of page numbers in plots produced using the lattice package. To do this, I started playing around with setHook which works fine with vanilla plot, but the hook 'plot.new' doesn't appear to be relevant to the lattice package. I was wondering if there is a alternative someone can suggest for use with the lattice package. Example

Hello, I've looked in tools:::.install_packages for some sort of hook that would let packages developers point to further instructions after a package is installed. For example, some packages need to setup environment variables, ... Is there something I have missed ?

Hi folks, I note that in the general FAQ's we have 7.25 Why did my .Rprofile stop working when I updated R? Did you read the NEWS file? For functions that are not in the base package you need to specify the correct package namespace, since the code will be run before the packages are loaded. E.g., ps.options(horizontal = FALSE) help.start() needs to be

I'm using Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.2 (SP2) on an HP 2133 (x86) mini-notebook. (There apparently are a LOT of bugs in 10.1!) I downloaded R-base from the openSuse 10.2 repository and was (finally) able to install it (after installing blas and gcc-fortran). I can start an R session and do computations. When I try to do any graphics using x11, I get the message: unable to load shared

If one wants to unload compiled code for a package containing a namespace, my understanding is that .onUnload() should be used, with a call to library.dynam.unload(). This is used in e.g., the stats and methods packages, but it appears to me that the compiled code is not being unloaded when the package is detached(). Am I misunderstanding something?

Good morning, we recently observed a problem with importing S3 generics from a foreign package (without namespace), defining a S3 method in a package _with_ namespace and the `cleanEx()' function which is automatically generated and executed before examples are run by R CMD check. To be more precise. Package `strucchange' defines a S3 generic sctest <- function(x, ...)

I encountered something strange with read.spss (package foreign, version 0.7 with R2.0.0 and version 0.8 with R2.0.1 beta, windows XP) I made a test file test.sav with SPSS version 11.5.1 containing only one numeric variable, with a value label for one value not occuring in the file. According to ?read.spss this should result in a factor, but it results in all NA. Using the argument
