Dear R-ers: Recognizing that it is better to remain silent and have people think you stupid than to speak and remove any doubt, I fear that I must speak nonetheless. I am having the Devil's own time trying to make a simple R package for my own use. Yes, I have perused the FAQs and searched the archives. Yes, I have read "Writing R Extensions" and eventually divined what Rcmd

Hi! I am installing R in non standard directory. ./configure --prefix=/non/standard/directory The installation works fine.

hello I am returning to some libraries that I had previously customised by amongst other things adding additional functions. I had simply typed these new functions into the file in library/R/thelibrary. These however do not seem to be loaded now as they previously were under older versions of R. What's changed and what do i need to do? Thanks Stephen

Hello, I wanted to share with a colleague a few R functions that I wrote. To this purpose, I created a small package on my machine (Unix) and emailed it to her. Now she is having troubles installing the package on her Windows machine. It seems that on her side, install.packages looks for a "zip" file - while I have created a "tar.gz" file. I tried to build the package with the

Hi! I encountered some things trying to build own packages under Windows 2000 for which i found no answer in the documentation. First. 1. I do not found the rcmd.exe in the bin directory of R_HOME. I installed R using the setup.exe 2. I updated the R intatllation with one of the zip files. (rw1041sp.zip) now i had the rcmd.exe in the bin. 3. I do not found any hint in the docu that perl is

Hi! I guess that it cant work. but maybee I am wrong. I would like to define a function rbind. > rbind function (..., deparse.level = 1) { which works only for objects of class Myclass Is it possible to use something like setMethod("rbind",signature(...="Myclass",deparse.level="numeric") This gives an error. Or should I use rbind.Myclass Eryk. Dipl. bio-chem.

This seems like a bug to me. Can someone verify this? First we define a function f that returns its second argument and lapply it to 1:2 using 9 as the second argument and all seems well. Note that "{" as a function does the same thing as f, as illustrated with f(1,9) and "{"(1,9); however, when we attempt to use "{" in the very same way we used f in lapply,

Hi! I would like to give my objects functions like "subset", "union", et cetera and name it also in this way. But this functions names are already used in the base package and they are not generic. I am right in that if they would be generic then i still can use the neat names with my objects? I have the impression that there are more and more packages are going to be

Hi! Would like to plot two image plots with color scale (like levelplot (lattice) implements) in one graphic device. Tried to plot 2 levelplot's (lattice) (the data has not much in common) in one graphics device by setting par(mfrwo=c(2,1)) which does not work. Is there a way to force levelplot to use only a half of the graphic device? Is there a function like image which provides the color

Hello All: This function obviously fails x <- function(z) paste("go", z, sep = ".") <- 10 x("now") But is there a way to define the name of a variable through passing a parameter in a function call? Thanks, ANDREW

Hi! I have installed the new R on windows. I wanted to reinstall the XML package. I am not able to find the XML.zip anymore. I am quite shure that they where a windows binary version.

Hi, I want to draw a scatter plot with 1M and more points and save it as pdf. This makes the pdf file large. So i tried to save the file first as png and than convert it to pdf. This looks OK if printed but if viewed e.g. with acrobat as document figure the quality is bad. Anyone knows a way to reduce the size but keep the quality? /E -- Dipl. bio-chem.

Hi, I clustered a distance matrix and would like to draw it using plot.hclust or plot.dendrogram. The dendrogram is not informative because I have a few extremely small dissimilarities in the distance matrix (e.g. 0), but most of the other distances are in the range 1e10+-5000. I would like to show the tree only for the height of 1e10+-5000 but unfortunately their are no parameter like

Hi, How to add values to an array at any position. Asking because of the following: e.g. y<-c(0.1,NaN,0.2,NaN) #or data frame x<-na.omit(y) take some columns from x and do some computation with functions which do not allow NaN 's. After the computing add NaN's at positions stored in attr(x,"na.action") of the result vector. /E -- Dipl. bio-chem. Witold Eryk

Hallo! I would like that the internal package functions does not appear in the documentation. I placed they names as aliases in the file nameofmypackage-internal.Rd as advised. After R CMD check (which runs neatly) they are still listed in 00Index.html. Is there no way to hide internal functions from the doc? Have I overlook something? Sincerely Eryk. Dipl. bio-chem.
